9 Januar 2006

So nice to have Laurel back in school today. Not that she wasn't amazingly good yesterday when we were doing stuff at church from 9am-2pm (Worship setup, SMA service with Lolo in Children's Church, then lunch and practice with the puppet team followed by quick stop at the commissary for taco stuff) but it is lovely not to have to share the computer for a little while. Also took a long walk after dropping her off this morning. So lovely and crisp outside today. Feels like snow is near.

Bruce is actually just heading to Nevada today. He's looking forward to this exercise. If you would like to get an idea of what he'll be doing check out the new DVD Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag It's an IMAX film that is now out on DVD and has some great A10 footage.

I'm currently researching my next career. As much as I enjoyed being a Vet Tech, I've been out of it too long and it simply doesn't pay enough or have appropriate hours for full time mom looking for part time work. Looks like I'll first finish my bachelor's degree (currently have two associate's degrees: One in biology and the other applied in Veterinary Technology) then I'm looking into a Master's in librarianship.

Specifically, I'd like to become a children's/youth librarian. Jobs in this career are found at both libraries and schools. This I'm considering turning into a full time career after Bruce eventually retires. (Won't it be nice to let him stay home while I go out to work!) As of this summer, he has 13 official years in the Air Force (they don't count the 4 years at the Academy). I can also work as a library aid until my degree is complete. Something I'd consider more seriously here if base wasn't 20-25 minutes from our home.
