October held a lot for us out in our new home. I started a new job, celebrated a birthday away from home, Ross had mid-terms, and we had our first Halloween with no trick-or-treaters. It was also the first time we could wear shorts on Halloween since the temperatures were in the 80s! October was a good month and now we look forward to November, which holds some exciting events; Ross' birthday, I start a new work schedule, and my parents are coming out to visit, and then there is Thanksgiving!
This week I start a new work schedule...10am-7pm. It is going to be a long day. Last week was the first time my entire training/new hire class were answering phones by ourselves. So there was a lot of teaching myself and realizing how poor the training class really was. But one good thing that came out of a lot of new hires being added to the payroll is that the company was able to cut out some of the mandatory overtime and open up more vacation hours for the remainder of the year. So as things look right now, there is only one day of mandatory overtime instead of three and I might be able to get some time off to spend with my parents when they come out!
Ross is still pushing along with school and found out last week that he only has 4 more weeks of class until dead week (when they stop introducing new material) and then he has 2 weeks of finals. So first semester is almost out of the way! He is both excited and nervous.
Today is Ross' 27th birthday so he can no longer say that he is younger than me. With it being on a Monday and us only having one income, the festivities are quite small, but at least we can still celebrate it together!
