Still alive, still cooking and still going to school. My husband recent found a full-time job, so I'm no longer working at the hospital, which is awesome. I will also be able to attend school full-time now, so I can transfer sooner. I'm working as a cook at an assisted living facility and aside from some semi-shady things with the company, I'm enjoying it. I'm only cooking for 50-70 people as opposed to 190-270 people, which makes things easier. I can focus on building flavors and I don't have to worry about special diets(mech soft, dysphasia, puree. etc..). I can just focus on making good presentable food. I also don't have to get up at 2:30am and don't have to wait at a bus stop at 3:30am by myself anymore. I'm actually able to sleep most of the night like a normal person. :D

We'll also soon have a german shepherd pup running around with the cats. I'm super excited, we talked to a couple of breeder and we found one to put a deposit on. I'm gonna be training him in Schutzhund and I'm hoping he does well, barring me holding him back, lol. He's scheduled to be born late spring/early summer and ready in the fall. So right not I'm slowly piecing together puppy supplies, preparing for Further Confusion, and making sure I get a solid understanding of the math course I"m taking.

Looking forward to 2014, 2013 came with a lot of heart break for me. I lost my dad suddenly, then my great uncle, and both of my sisters had life threatening emergencies. However we're still blessed and pressing on. I just have a feeling 2014 will be a good year.
