Haven't blogged in a while so I thought I would write one real quick. Can't really think of anything to say. Ryan is working tonight and tomorrow night until really late. I get sad when he misses seeing Hannah for 2 nights in a row as does he, but when you're the big cheese, duty calls. He's heading to Richmond, VA tomorrow to interview people for the regional director position for the new office there. He told me a cool story about that...him and his boss Mike were here in Lexington last week or the week before and Mike had Ryan come by the hotel restaurant so they could discuss details of the Richmond office and look over resumes. (One funny side note was that Mike would not even consider a person if he couldn't pronounce their name no matter how qualified they were..thought that was funny) so anyhoo the waitress came to take their order and Mike asked her jokingly, "you don't happen to have a degree in social work do you." Ryan said she looked kind of stunned and said, "actually I just got my masters in social work and am in the process of sending resumes out." So Ryan interviewed her today for the job. Small world eh?

So tonight is going to be a good test of the new Michelle. For those of you who haven't heard of the new Michelle, I've been reading 7 habits of highly effective people and it's been life changing. I highly recommend it. It's not at all dry and mainly for mananger type people like I thought it would be. It has helped me change the way I look at my priorties. I've been really convicted lately, because I know that I am not going to be able to teach Hannah self control and self discipline if I do not possess that myself and it's been a life long struggle for me to overcome it. It will take some time, but I think this time, I'm actually headed in the right direction. I've actually had a couple of days where I have finished everything on my todo list which I don't think I have ever done. But tonight, I'm tired and Ryan is not here and I need to prepare for this budgeting class that I'm teaching on Friday. the old Michelle would just wait until tomorrow night and prepare and then be all stressed out on friday and feel unprepared and anxious. Hopefully the new Michelle will get at least some of it done before crashing.

Welp on that note i best be getting some stuff done. Have an awesome time in England Mary! And if there's anyway you can get monday the 30th of August off of school, you need to come meet us in LA. We were unable to go the original week we has planned due to Delta being cheap and not letting us use our free tickets. The next available time was the end of August so that's when we are going. So I think I feel a sickness coming over you that day! ;)

ok i'm out of here. peace all!
