Big city left with no bookstore

Big city left with no bookstore - CNN.com

This is seriously appalling! Laredo doesn't have a single bookstore within 150 miles of it. I would hate to be the head of reading intervention in those public schools. Pathetic! I'm not sure who is to blame... but someone needs to do something!

Job Updates

Okay, so this information is probably slowly trickling through our friends and family, but I thought I would offer an official update.

William had an interview this past Saturday with MicroCenter in Dallas.  It is a computer/electronics and parts store. He also had an interview for Halliburton in Oklahoma City on Tuesday. Both interviews went very well. The MicroCenter job is for a part time (with a possible full time option) job in sales. The Halliburton job is for a field engineer position in the MidContinent Region. He would be working 14 days in the field and 7 days at home. The pay is supposedly good and benefits equally as good!  This obviously wouldn't be our absolute favorite job but we are excited about it nonetheless.  There is also a possibility of us staying in Dallas and William traveling to the job sites which would be best for me!

Today William was offered the job at MicroCenter. He is planning on accepting it because they are requiring an answer by Thursday at the end of the day. However, we are still VERY interested in the options that might be at Halliburton. He will find out about that job on Monday!

Check back for updates! He's going to officially accept the MicroCenter job tomorrow!

Not Me Monday

>So over at MckMama's blog she hosts this event on Mondays. I think it's a solid blogging event! So here I go....
I would never check my wedding photographer's client gallery every 2 hours to see if she had created our's yet... NOOO not me! 
My dog would NEVER drink out of my bedside water glass... never, not MY dog. 
I would never be happy to have my bed to myself again for one night (tonight) after I counted down to my wedding day for 250 days... not me. 
I would never make up a crazy story to tell Reagan (the little girl I nanny for) just so that she would do what I wanted. Like "Bugs will make nests and live in your hair if you don't let me brush it".... nope. not me.

Harrowing account of Haiti quake

Harrowing account of Haiti quake from West Des Moines student | desmoinesregister.com | The Des Moines Register

This girl was in my sorority at Baylor. She was in Haiti with a student group from Columbia University. She has always had a heart for Haiti. I'm praying that she is safe until she is able to be airlifted out of there.

Here is a picture that she posted on her facebook.  She has received a crash course in medicine and is doing what she can to help the 2 doctors in her UN compound.

UPDATE:
I got news via Facebook late last night (1/16) that Megan is safe in New York.
