A Cold and Stressful Week

1) As I start to write this there is a crazy homeless man walking down the street behind my office screaming weird things and as he rolls his bike and shopping cart. Fun stuff.

Anyways, this week is freezing! I had to wear a winter coat yesterday. The high was 60 degrees, but I swear it felt much colder. The winds have been so strong that they have tipped over some 18 wheelers. I know its beyond freezing in the rest of the country, though, so I shouldn't complain.

Keira had a fever the past few days so Mitchell and I both felt a little icky, but we're both feeling better now fortunately.

That, along with the stress of this Navy stuff put me in a horrible mood yesterday. It was one of those days where I almost left the office and would have never come back. My boss was in a bad mood too, which certainly doesn't help.

The stress came from Zach trying to get into this Nuclear program, which is one of the toughest to get into in the Navy. It is one of only 2 programs that looks at your individualized grades in high school. Unfortunately he had worse grades than he remember for a couple of the years, and we were afraid he wouldn't even be allowed to take the next test because of them. It was very disappointing. Then, last night his recruiter called and said he was able to get a waiver, essentially, and they were letting him take the test today. One of the best phone calls hes ever received. He just got out of the test and feels pretty confident, but we aren't getting our hopes up because we've already gone through a day of being very let down from the grades. So fingers crossed we get a good phone call again tomorrow morning saying that he passed.

When I know more, I'll update!
