Lots happening in December!

A quick update:

-I am officially no longer a full-time employee at Bankston Honda, but they were very eager to keep me on at a part-time status. I'm pretty much on-call, a back-up for the two full-time cashiers when they are sick, going on vacation, etc. I also am in charge of keeping our filing room on track, and expect to spend about 8-12 hours per week doing that. The good thing is, aside from backing up the other girls when needed, I can go in to do filing work whenever I want, so that flexibility is very nice. It is a win-win solution for myself and my boss, and we're both very happy with the arrangement.

-David just got back from spending four days in Houston, training for his new job as a contract installer for Houston Shutter. He'll do some more training on job sites, but whenever Home Depot decides to move forward with setting out the shutter displays in their stores in the DFW area, he will get to work full-time! We're hoping that will be soon after the holidays. We're thankful that he has a job to look forward to and pray that it will be lucrative enough to catch us up on the bills we've been neglecting this year due to his unemployment.

-Gracie is definitely loving potty-training! She has potties in both bathrooms, as well as a travel one we take with us everywhere. She knows what to do and where and how to do it, and is getting better everyday at telling us when she needs to go. We're still operating at her pace right now, but after her birthday next week we're going to start taking her potty every hour, no matter where we are. Hopefully that gets this going on a faster-track! Although I realize that it could go on forever, and if she ever gets too frustrated with it we'll back off for awhile. I don't want her to hate going potty just because we made her when she didn't want to. But we're doing good not to reward her with food, just stickers, praise and lots and lots of love. It's a journey, that's for sure!

Well, that's it for now. We have some exciting plans coming up next week for her birthday! I can't believe she's almost TWO YEARS OLD! My beautiful darling girl. =)
