Wacky Wednesday...

Today was a wild ride. I woke up to a text message from my mom stating that my pregnant sister was going in for an emergency ultrasound because she'd been bleeding. I was a nervous wreck. This baby has had us all on a roller-coaster of emotions. I found out later in the day that the ultrasound went well and the baby was fine. It had a strong heartbeat and the bleeding was "normal" for this part of the pregnancy. My sister was elated and my Aunt Phyllis said it best when she wrote on Facebook, "God is still on His throne- any question?!"

I missed the morning train and had to wait in the cold (we're having a cold front pass through Denver this week, but this weekend is going to be nice again) and snow/rain mix. I was a little miserable at first and was daydreaming about crawling back into my warm and cozy bed with Jackson and MacKenzie when it dawned on me how lucky I was that my daydreaming would be a reality that evening. I felt a reminder that some people do not have warm beds to crawl into on cold nights and that some people do not have loved ones to snuggle. I have to say that I stopped whining to myself pretty quickly after that thought.

I had a quick phone interview this morning with the town of Parker for their sales tax department. I think it went ok and I should know more at the end of the week. It pays better than the other job that I'm interviewing with, but I think the job with the CPA might be a better fit. I will know more after Tuesday morning's interview. Whew. I hate interviews. Jackson loves them as he calls it, "selling his favorite product: Jackson!" I do not have that confidence in the product I'm selling I guess.

I am down to only working three days a week now at my contract job. That's fine with me for now as school is really busy this quarter. I feel like I am always moving. That wouldn't change if school weren't busy but still. ;) Also, to those of you who claim to not be able to "keep up" with all things Jenna (HA- soo exciting, I know!) I am going to be applying to law schools. I'll apply to a few schools and then we'll decide where to go based on jobs available in the area. I won't apply until after I've passed the CPA exam as that's my first priority. Sigh. There's still so much work to be done.

Jackson did well in court against our former Westfield renters. We do not have a verdict yet, but we will let you know as soon as we do. In karma news- they broke their lease with us to buy a house that they later lost financing on and have had to move multiple times since leaving us high and dry. They're out their earnest money and also already made flooring purchases for the new home. That really makes me sad. ;)

Jackson's quick trip to Indiana went pretty well. His flight to Indy was delayed by an hour, but other than that all went according to plan. He even got to eat at Bob Evan's. (SO jealous!) He was busy at work today and has decided that if he only worked 2.5 days a week that he'd be so busy when he was there that he wouldn't even mind going to work. Hmmm. :)

We're going to head up to Vail on Saturday so that we can see the Aspen trees changing colors (Colorado's version of fall is too cute. It is no Brown County, Indiana but the mountains do add a little something) and do some hiking. We'll be taking MacKenzie, too. We're going to stop in at Lake Dylan first to let her do a little swimming, too. It should be a nice time.

We hope you all are doing well.
