I'm full of empty promises

I never, ever, ever update! Well everyone is probably aware that I'm a dietitian now and have been working for 6 months! I love it and am currently a lead curriculum developer and the RD teacher for a big NIH grant in addition to my individual appointments and teaching classes. I'm busy, busy, busy! I got a raise which helps me love my job even more than before :)

I bought my first big girl purchase - a flat screen TV! Unfortunately there are many more to come - my crap car probably won't last through next winter and I don't want to put new tires on it, and in the next year we might start looking at houses! Sure wish my family brokers lived in Idaho! Life is looking pretty expensive :) Danny has told me we'll be engaged by my birthday this year - so that adds another price tag to think about :) We are VERY excited about it. We've been together 4 years and are more in love than ever. We're best friends and I FINALLY (FFFIINNNAAALLLYYY) know that I've chosen the right person!

Danny will start volunteering with BLM next month. Even though it's unpaid it's actually GREAT news and the best break we've gotten since we moved here! He's volunteering with one of the guys who does the hiring so there's finally a foot in the door! Thats been the biggest challenge for these positions so far. I'm so fortunate things worked out for me the way that they have - I hope Danny catches a break soon! It's not fair most of his jobs are government which aren't really hiring right now.

Charlie is fantastic as always. He turns 5 next month. I always cry on his birthday because I don't want my baby to get older :)
