Quick Update

So,  we have yet to put up a Halloween update--which is pretty important since Liam won a costume contest at the local shop.  He dressed as a spider.  I'll post these photos ASAP! 

We had a whirlwind month in November.  We moved out of our house in England, and traveled home--me, Jeremy, Liam, and Marley on the plane.  Traveling for 21 hours with a 19 month old is more than a little difficult. 

Our friends and family greeted us at the airport when we arrived, and it was fantastic.

There was a perfect coming home party on Saturday, December 5th.  There are some photos floating around, which will find their way here as soon as I collect them from friends and family. 

I had a job interview on Thursday, December 10th.  It went really well.  It was with a financial planning company called Waddell and Reed.  A very nice gentleman named Bert interviewed me.  I had to take a standardized test to ensure that I'll be capable of passing the Series 7, Series 66, and a Texas licensing exam to sell life insurance and annuities.  The test also determined whether or not I have the right personality type for sales . . . I'll get the results when I go in for a second interview tomorrow . . . BUT

I think that either the climate or the pollutants in my dad's house are making me stuffy.  I've had some killer congestion.  This morning I woke up and my voice was completely gone.  You can imagine how worried I've been all day knowing that I have this very important interview tomorrow!  I've been resting my voice all day and bought some Mucinex at Dad's recommendation, which seems to be working. 

Jeremy starts school at UH on January 19th.  He registered for classes/attended orientation on Friday.  I think he's really excited. 

Saturday night we ate at Floyd's for my Birthday.  Then, we took Liam to the Christmas parade in Friendswood.  He loved all the lights and music.  He danced and waved to everyone on the floats.  When the firetruck went by he made the sound of the siren.  It was so cute!

Liam spent the night with Grandma and Grandpa while Jeremy and I went to Hugh and Jeff's in League City to celebrate my Birthday with some choice crew and music.  Mama Tried and John Evans Band both played.  It was such a wonderful time!  I'm so happy to be home! 

The icing on the cake was Sunday, when (with a crippling hangover) we dragged ourselves to the country club for brunch with Jeremy's family so that Liam and his cousins could see Santa.  I have video of that on my new HD Flip that Uncle Steve bought me.  Liam gave Santa a high five.

I'll put some more interesting info up soooooooon.  I promise.  We've just been extremely swamped.
