a ton of randoms

I didn't feel like making a post for every thing I thought about so here it is.

Whitney random update:
I went to my rheumatologist two weeks ago and was happy to hear that my arthritis is under control thanks to both of my medications. YAY! She said that everything was looking great and I don't have to go back and see her for three whole months. This is the first time in a year that I have not had to go to a doctor every single month. Unfortunately I still have to do blood work every two months but I guess I can handle that instead of hurting everyday. I still have to give myself a shot every week (actually Jake is quite fond of doing it for me) and it still sucks but again, I can handle a shot that hurts for 30 seconds as opposed to hurting all of the time. All in all, health wise I am doing good.

As for the job hunt.. I took a test for an admin. position for the Ventura school district. I really hope I did well because I think I would really like this job. I should hear from them in a week or two. I also talked to the LDS employment woman that I have been working with on and off and she might have some opportunities for me to check out. Jake and I talked awhile ago that it wasn't necessary for me to get a job just for the sake of getting a job. He said that he is fortunate enough to have a job that he enjoys and likes going to everyday and he wants the same for me. So in essence that is why it is taking me some time to find a job. Things are coming along.

October is officially here and I have to admit that I am such a nerd for Halloween. It is one of my favorite holidays. I love decorating for it, I love smelling the candy when it is in one big bowl, I love watching the corny Halloween specials etc., etc.- I know I am a nerd! I got out our Halloween stuff on Wednesday and already decorated our house. All I have left to do is get our pumpkins. It's not much but it's still fun. I think I just like fall.

Jake random update:
Jake is busy, busy, busy at work. I don't know who knows but he is the California area engineer which means he oversees the engineers and their projects for all of the Baker Tools shops in California, 5 total, and it is a lot of work. He is so good at what he does and everyone has nothing but great things to say about him. However, the guy is worn out. Luckily he is getting some what of a break this week because we get to go to Reno. He has a geothermal conference to go to for three days but we are coming up two days early so he can have some relaxing time and some fun! Other than work, he is enjoying working on his motorcycle again and just got a new tool from craigslist- a mill and lathe in one- and he plays with it everyday and is so excited about it. We are boring but we have fun together.
