Well, since I can never remember who I've told what... I decided to post our latest news online so that everyone who is interested and even those who are not can be caught up on our latest drama! haha.
Tomorrow, Steve flies to Chicago for a psychological evaluation as part 2 of his interview process for the job of Recruiting Manager for USG. He flew to Chicago 2 weeks ago and had his interview with a panel of 6 people. It's looking good so far, but we still don't have the definite "thumbs up". We are excited at the prospect of moving to Chicago, and I am trying to keep the house in relative order so that if and when the job is his, we can make the move without too much chaos. If he gets the job, it will mean having to switch schools and taking yet another standardized test to see if the state of Illinois thinks I'm smart enough to be a teacher. We'll see. I'm more annoyed about having to shell out another $150 more than anything. haha.
Next Tuesday, Feb. 7th, I go in for surgery to fix my hernia that developed on my incision from by gastric bypass surgery. It is considered out-patient so I won't even have to stay overnite. Steve will take the day off so that he can babysit me and be my chauffeur. I think it will take about a week or two to recover. It's a pain that I have to have another surgery, but I would do it again in a heartbeat. I'm down to 175 from 330 and officially wear a size 14. Holy cow! I love it. I finally feel like I look kinda normal for the 1st time in my entire life.
Matt is doing well at "school". He likes his teachers and they love him. His favorite thing to do is to play outside on the slide and he also told me that he loves snack time. Would he be part of my gene pool if he didn't love to eat?! haha.
Love to everyone and keep your fingers crossed on Chicago!

I am so glad that you blogged today. It was great to hear about your newest development. Ken and I wish Steve the best in part 2 at USG, but most of all, wish him safe traveling on his trip to Chicago. Glad you and Matthew are hanging in there! Love, linsue
