where to start?

well, my parents spent last week in houston with my aunt and her children. They attended my uncle's funeral and attempted to comfort my aunt and the kids. Times were tough, to say the least. my parents are going to go back to houston on monday to stay with my aunt for a while longer. Well, my sis and i were not able to attend the funeral, but we plan to go down there in a few weeks to spend some time with them. It has been hard, but family sticks together and that makes it a bit easier.

Amist all this, Michael and i were able to salvage our first Valentine's Day together. Leslie went to college station to visit her boyfriend, so i prettied up the apartment and Michael and I spent the day together at my place. I set up a little candle light table at which we ate some ramen noodles and some chocolate covered strawberries. I had planned on cooking dinner, but we decided Lovers Egg Roll would be better. How great is that? I think i found the perfect match, someone who loves Lovers as much as i do. :) anyway, it was a nice evening. Best valetine's day I've ever had.

I filed my tax return today online, so i should get my big fat refund in 1-2 weeks directly deposited into my bank account. this is much needed money right now. Yeah for that!!! my job is going very well, i am really enjoying it. It seems that my job title should be case manager/therapist. I am actually doing family therapy with the families i will be working with. I am also in charge of running a group for 1st offender youths who have been court ordered to attend. I am currently cofacilitating the group with the woman who is leaving the job and i am really enjoying it. I think this job is a perfect fit for me right now. Also, the drive to Rockwall really isnt that bad. :)

jay is also in town now and that has been nice. I have not been able to spend much time with him yet, since i have been so busy, but hopefully this weekend, we will find some time to hang out. i did give him the hookah i got him from lebanon and he really liked it, so that was super great.

well, i am off to work. Have a great one.
