Lemons? Nah. Lemonade!

With Christmas and the New Year celebrations past V and I have settled into a pretty nice routine.  I am busy with school work and she is busy with everything.  Her new favorite thing is the childcare at my gym.  I love the ability to run without pondering what the actual effects of hypothermia are and V loves the childcare center there.  I like to think of it as a win, win situation!  It has been a long time since I have exercised really regularly so I am loving this opportunity!

School is a lot right now.  I am taking more than a full load so I can knock out my prereqs and get in an MBA level class.  The upside is that since I have so much flexibility I am going to graduate in just over a year.  That puts me back in the workforce at record speed with a new degree and a new lease on life.  I like to think I am making some pretty tasty lemonade out of the lemons I was dealt :)

Speaking of lemons.  Divorce is in full swing.  We finally came to terms and the papers are signed and being filed.  I am ready to have this all behind me.  There is still much to do to tie up loose ends...namely, the house in Athens must be packed up and then sold.  I am starting the process today and plan to make substantial progress this weekend packing and cleaning and getting the house ready to sell.  I just hope that the other half of this equation puts in a little effort with regards to getting the house ready to go on the market.  That would make things much easier for both V and me.

On the horizon...V and I are planning a trip to the aquarium with some friends, I am super excited about a wine class in my future, and V and I are going to be trying a new church.  I will let you all know how it goes!
