It is still only a sub job, but is is an everyday sub job. I'm really looking forward to this opportunity. I'm hoping that this will be a foot in the door and improve my chances of getting a full-time job next year.Hannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06447244715111371260noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8001425631989855006.post-22426477638650809052013-07-16T20:48:00.001-04:002013-07-16T20:48:46.303-04:00Refinishing questionFor anyone who has been to and seen my house, here's a question for you. Charlie is busy refinishing our master bathroom. Currently there is a door from our bedroom into the bathroom and then also one from the family room into the bathroom. We are debating whether or not to take out the door from the family room and just have the bathroom be a true master bathroom with only access from the master bedroom. What are your opinions?Hillaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02743262826240392898noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8001425631989855006.post-90167063623352913852013-07-13T15:46:00.001-04:002013-07-13T15:46:10.403-04:00Charlie updateCharlie had 3 interviews on Thursday. The first one was for a teaching position in Kalamazoo. The principal he worked with at Beecher got a principal position there and wanted Charlie to come work with him. Charlie pretty much did the interview to be accommodating. We don't really plan on moving there for just a teaching position. Then he drove down to Three Oaks, MI for another interview. That one is for an assistant principal position. He feels like he did fairly well in that interview. Then on the drive home he did an interview over the phone for another position in WV. Today he was called back and asked to do a second interview at Three Oaks on Tuesday next week. He really liked that school and was hoping for a call back. He's pretty excited to have gotten one. It would be nice for him to get a different position, especially an administration position, but I am not excited to have to move and we would need to for that job since it's about three hours away. So I have mixed feelings. I'll keep you posted on how it goes. Prayers on Charlie's behalf would be great. Thanks!Hillaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02743262826240392898noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8001425631989855006.post-8010071038092482792013-06-03T20:49:00.000-04:002013-06-03T20:49:48.393-04:00DecorateOver Memorial Day weekend mom painted some shutters and finally got her and dad's Christmas present hung up.

Met the CFO this time. She seemed pretty sure I'd be getting the position and be starting on Monday. She said she's let me know for sure by the end of the week. She said it will only be a part time position, only working about 3 days a week. This way I can get some good experience and still spend time with the kids and Charlie. I may miss some stuff this summer, but not as much as I had originally thought. I feel much better about that.Hillaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02743262826240392898noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8001425631989855006.post-13407289849829494292013-05-08T16:29:00.002-04:002013-05-08T16:29:33.359-04:00Another interviewJust got finished with another interview. This was with the company Northgate. They are a packaging and distribution company. One of my college professors is married to the CEO of this company and he suggested I apply. I think it went really well. I should know by the end of next week what they decide. I'll keep you posted. I have mixed feelings about this internship. It would give me great experience, but I will miss lots of fun stuff this summer if I get it. I kind of hope I don't get it.Hillaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02743262826240392898noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8001425631989855006.post-79897198159197132452013-04-29T07:45:00.001-04:002013-04-29T07:45:32.171-04:00The CrimMy friend, June, convinced me to run the 5K with her at the Crim this August. So I started getting back into shape this morning. It's probably good for me to have a goal to work towards. I was having a hard time finding motivation to exercise. This will be good for me. The Crim is a marathon that takes place in Flint every August. I'm sure it will be super hot that day too, just for me.Hillaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02743262826240392898noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8001425631989855006.post-13819340514278113422013-04-22T18:11:00.001-04:002013-04-22T18:11:12.198-04:00Unbelievable...So I did something at church yesterday that I never thought I would do.... I broke up a fight, a fist fight between two women. Really long story, but no one was terribly injured. I sure hope it doesn't happen EVER again.
On a happier note, I took two exams today and I know I have 100% on the first one and I'm pretty confident I did well on the second one. Two down, three more to go. I'm most worried about the one I have Wednesday night, so any prayers you could offer on my behalf would be greatly appreciated. I'm almost done, I'm almost done....Hillaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02743262826240392898noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8001425631989855006.post-82547306314334682502013-03-28T22:39:00.001-04:002013-03-28T22:39:24.673-04:00Silly Kitty<div style="text-align: center;">

Was supposed to have read 2 chapters for one class and 1 chapter for another before class tomorrow. Didn't have a chance to today. Hopefully I'll be able to make some kind of dent in it tomorrow morning before class. This semester I'm only on campus Mondays and Wednesdays, but I'm there the whole day. I think it will be better than going to campus four days a week like I did last semester. I applied for graduation today. It still doesn't seem real yet. I've been in school for so long that I don't know what life will be like afterward.

Thanks for participating. I'm officially finished for the semester. I think I've pulled an A in all my classes. There is one I'm a little if-y on because I did pretty poorly on the final exam. But at the worst I should only get a B in that class because I did well the rest of the semester. Now I have 2 weeks of no school. I won't really call it a break, because it's not really going to be with all the other stuff I have going on, but at least I won't have school to worry about on top of that. Looking forward to seeing most of you in another week! Yeah!! I love the holidays surrounded by family!!Hillaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02743262826240392898noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8001425631989855006.post-23977989136539965312012-12-15T16:20:00.001-05:002012-12-15T16:20:14.108-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Trying to lean how to quilt projects. Regular sewing is so much eaiser. I have been quiling for the last 4 hours, my shoulder feels it, but I enjoy the finish project. Take care need to get ready for the church Christmas dinner. My apple crisp is smelling so good. I could leave it home and eat it all by myself but that wouldn't happen around here. lol<br />

I should be studying right now, but this is more fun. Go to your pictures you've got saved on your computer and pick the fourth picture you have there and tell us about it in another post. I've got folders of pictures so I'm going to pick the first picture of the fourth folder, the fourth picture of the fourth folder and the fourth single picture.

The doctor wants
him in there for 1 to 2 weeks. Grandpa needs to gain some strength and be able
to do a few more things for himself. He will be doing some hard work there and
getting strong and healthy. Right now, he is doing so much better, looking so
much healthier and is in pretty good spirits. He was upset to not come directly
home, but didn't really want to end back up in the hospital in a couple of
days.<span style="font-size: xx-small;"> (That is what happens a lot.)
</span>I will make sure he is definitely home by
Christmas.<br />

late it was when he woke up. I was told by the doctor to go home and get some sleep...(what, I really look that bad?) I spoke to his nurse, she said that they are
waiting for the respiratory therapist to pull out his breathing tube later this
evening. He is in good spirits, but tired.Jeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10882849080960782022noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8001425631989855006.post-39245028710951686902012-11-28T14:30:00.001-05:002012-11-28T14:30:15.565-05:00Grandpa's SurgeryGrandpa's surgery went well. It took 5 graphs, but all is good.Jeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10882849080960782022noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8001425631989855006.post-50346578876396119442012-11-27T20:19:00.000-05:002012-11-27T20:19:04.211-05:00Here's What's Going On Grandpa's surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning bright and early. They
postponed it because they thought he had pneumonia in his lung. They thought
this because the x-ray they did for pre-op showed something on his lung, he had
a low grade temp and his white blood count was up. So, rather than operate on
an already sick man who was sicker, they opted to wait until they could clear
the pneumonia. In the meantime, they did a CT scan to double check his lungs.
All of this was done in Crestview Sunday evening, but was not sent down to Ft.
Walton with him. So, they didn't know he already had the tests and did not have
pneumonia. <span style="font-size: xx-small;"> (Wasted tests and time, but better
to be safe than sorry.)</span> Well, anyway, the test showed that instead of
pneumonia, it was some old scar tissue. Also, it showed some individual little
nodules throughout the lung. They said that this could possible be some
exposure to asbestos years ago, or TB exposure somewhere. They are not too
concerned about them and will recheck them in 6 months. First and foremost, do
the surgery to get Grandpa better. So, he will go into surgery at 6 am our time
for a 4 - 6 hour surgery. That includes, putting him to sleep, intubating,
cutting, sewing, recovery... By around lunch time he should be out. Maybe home
by Friday, or Saturday depending on how fast he recovers. They said he will feel sooooo much better when this is done, like a new
man.<br /><br />None of this better show up on Facebook. <strong>Grandpa</strong>,
Chuck, Joe and I want NONE of his information on there. We have
been getting calls from cousins, aunts, uncles, all sorts of people who have
found out due to Facebook. These are only need to know details...those who need
to know, KNOW! If there is something anyone needs to know, we will call
