License!

I checked my status online yesterday and it says that I've been given my license!!!! It is a big relief because now the only thing that stands between me and a job is time! I am filling out applications for substitute teaching and continuously checking websites to find available jobs. I am excited to have a source of income, it has been far too long!!!!

I also got a new harness for Samson. It has been very trying to take him for walks because he is so interested in everything that he pulls at the leash constantly. I finally had enough. He is almost 20 pounds and he was actually starting to hurt me. The harness that I got him goes around his front legs and attaches to the leash in front of his chest. I was very skeptical that a harness could change his walking, but I was amazed at what a difference it really made. He walks so well!!! I am really proud of him. He has difficulty getting out of the car because of how high it is, so when you open the back door he will attempt to jump out and then back up. I put my arm down, lean towards him and say "help" and he will wrap his leg around my arm and wait to be picked up. It is the cutest thing that he is currently doing!!!

J's dad came over today and brought someone to help clean out the gutters. He is also going to put in a run for Samson in the front yard so he doesn't get tied around the tree. I absolutely love my office furniture! It has created a separation between the living room and the computer. We used to sit and surf the web and watch tv so often, it was like a rut! Now I actually have to go to the office to be on the computer, and it's definitely cut down on the amount of tv time we've had!

I made chili for dinner tonight...it was delicious! I'm so excited to have leftovers for tomorrow and maybe even to give J some for lunch on Saturday!!!!!
