Nothing New

It has been a while since I last posted (again). I have been trying to keep this up every week with a new post but sometimes I just don't have anything to say. Lately it has been very busy around these last couple of weeks. We are mostly adjusted to living in our new place, still trying to find some things though. We are working together each day to help make our house look decent. But really it is just a cluttered mess that is overwhelming. I conquered Lorraine's room and the living room today with lots of cleaning and yet I still feel like it isn't quite clean. We sure do miss the space we had in the kitchen of our last place but at least this is a place that we can better afford, because it is smaller and the utilities are included in the rent.

Both Morgan and I have been rehearsing for the summer musical, Seussical. The music is a lot of fun but very difficult. Thankfully we still have a few weeks before the show opens. We are also very thankful to our conductor's daughter that is helping out by taking care of Lorraine while we are at rehearsal. We both wouldn't have been able to be in the orchestra otherwise.

Morgan is still applying for "real" jobs but with the economy so bad, no one is hiring. He has only gotten one interview and no job offers out of the 20 or more places that he has applied to. I don't know what else he can do at this point to get a job. He also has been out of work here because the Census Bureau (which he was working for) ran out of work. He also got fired from his other job too. We still don't know why he was fired, the owner of the store won't talk to him and the manager of the store doesn't know what is going on. It really is rather frustrating. So Morgan is back at the hotel working the graveyard shift over the weekends.

As for me, I am taking two classes this semester which is only the month of May. I have class everyday for 2-3 hours at a time. Then I have about 2-4 hours of homework each night, plus rehearsals, cooking, cleaning, and taking some time to spend with Lorraine. I am mostly enjoying my classes. I am taking Spanish and Biology of Women. Spanish is easy and thankfully comes naturally to me. Biology however is a completely different story. I didn't do well on the first test and hopefully the test on Monday is a bit easier. As for my health, I am finally COMPLETELY off of those ridiculous drugs and have been fairly healthy ever since. I am suffering from allergies here in the beautiful (but allergy filled) VA, but besides that I am healthy.

Lorraine is just a very happy go lucky little girl. She is started to talk (babble) more and more each day. I think she gets frustrated with us at times because we can't understand her babbling. She loves to play with her big pink ball and loves to take baths or get into the shower with Mom. I don't think I've ever heard of a toddler that I actually liked to get into the tub. She just might be a swimmer or some other water sport junkie. We've been very blessed that she is such beautiful and happy little girl. I just pray that our next baby will be just as happy. (THIS IS NOT AN ANNOUNCEMENT!!! You all know how comments like these get rumors started.)

Anyways, we are doing okay and life is pretty good.
