Happy Wednesday!

Hello Friends...

Lots has been happening around here these days, and I haven't had time to post anything in a while, but we're having a lazy day in the Gross house today, so I thought I'd take a few minutes and share what's been going on.

There are lots of new changes in the works for my blog. My wonderfully talented friend Jessi is helping her much less techno-savy friend built a better and much more visually appealing site. We've been collaborating long distance for a bit now, and I can't wait until we get everything ready. My hopes are that once we get the new page set up I can set up a much more frequent posting schedule with more focused topics that interrelate between the many things going on in my life these days. I'm really excited about it.

I'm taking three classes this semester and...NOT WORKING AT ALL!! It is absolutely wonderful to have the time and energy to devote the best of myself to my schoolwork all the time. Plus, my schedule is wonderful in that I get to spend three whole days a week at home with my little one, and Michael is now off on Wednesdays, so we get a midweek day to ourselves once a week. It is so nice to have a little mini-weekend devoted just to the three of us plugged right into the middle of the week. These days our Saturdays and Sundays have become so full and busy that we hardly ever have the time to just relax and enjoy one another. I hope this type of thing is something we can continue to have in life.

I may have already mentioned this, but my new years resolution for this year was to read 60 books. That may sound like a lofty goal to some, but with my reading lists for most of my grad classes, I hardly even have to add that many this semester to keep up with my minimum quota of five per month.

This one's a biggie for me. It's already almost midterm, and I've only made one full blown to do list all semester. I've made a couple of little lists (what to do to get ready for a trip, what homework needs done by when, etc), but only one real one, and I ended up throwing it away before I got around to marking things off of it. My name is Jordan, and I'm a micromanager..but slowly and surely, I am weeding this addiction out of my life.

It's almost garden time. We've been spending lots of time out in the garden getting ready for the season to come. We're going bigger this year. Way bigger...I can't wait!

That's not all that's going on around here lately, but the rest will come in another post soon. Happy Wednesday, y'all. Hope it's as relaxing as mine has been so far!
