Officially Spring Busy Season

It is offiicially Spring Busy Season at work. This past week I was one of the lucky 3 staff in the office that had to work overtime. Luckily, it was just a few more hours last week but starting today it is the real deal and mandatory Saturdays. Woo hoo! At least the days go really fast at work when you're really busy!

House Update

After we got done with Colt's program at UT Southwestern, we went to Forney to check on the status of our house and see if they had started on anything yet. They had the form boards and trenches done! It was exciting to see something on our lot and to see the form of our house!

Our Saturday - Colt's MS O Program at UT Southwestern

We went to UT Southwestern this morning for Colt's MS O Program. It was a Friday and Saturday event that they had for incoming freshman.We didn't go for the Friday part, but we went to the Saturday session. It started out with breakfast and a question and answer panel with a current medical school students and as resident. Then we went on to learn about financial aid and had another small group question and answer session.  We had lunch and we actually ended up eating next to another couple, who the girl was the cousin of my friend, Erika. Her fiance is going to medical school with Colt. It's such a small world! After lunch most of the students were going on a bus to the arts district for a few hours, which is actually basically where I work, so we went ahead and drove over there for a little while before heading home. We walked through the Dallas Arts Museum and the Nasher Sculpture Center and that was about all of the "artsy" stuff we could handle! The morning was very informational and it was really exciting to be there now that he knows he's actually going there!

CPA EXAM!

I found out on Friday morning that I passed my final section of the CPA exam so now I have officially passed all four parts! Now I just wait to get my packet in the mail to complete a few more things and paperwork and it will be official!! It was such a big relief when I found out Friday, and it is definitely going to be GREAT not having to study anymore!

And more snow

Well it just kept snowing Thursday night into Friday morning and we had even more snow. It is the most snow Dallas has seen since 1978. They recorded the record at DFW airport for the most snow in a 24 hour period at 12.5 inches of snow, and daily record of 11.2 inches on Thursday! We didn't measure quite that much at our house, but we had a lot.

These are a couple of pics from when we went out Thursday night before bed

It was up past Colt's boots in our backyard

Friday morning

It had already started to melt but Colt measured about 7 inches by our driveway

and there was about 10 still in the back of his truck

It definitely covered Lucky

He had  a little trouble trying to get out of it

Of course Alex was still loving it

and loved finding her snow covered tennis ball

and Colt just liked messing up all the neighbors pretty yards!

It was pretty while it lasted but now I am ready for warm weather!  

Snow

Well you would know the day that it would snow about 5-6 inches of snow I would be sick :( Oh well, I still got to watch the dogs play in it. Lucky wasn't a big fan of being in it, but Alex absolutely loves the snow! I have a video of her running in circles in the yard and she even liked to catch snow balls in her mouth.

 When we first walked out this morning

Colt and Alex

Lucky had enough for the time being

Playing fetch

Alex loved having to dig in the snow and find her ball

Colt's attempt at a snow man

He gave up pretty quickly on it

Then started trying to nail Alex with snow from the roof

Colt burying the ball as deep in the snow as he could

Lucky in his little coat with snow all the way up his legs

He started shivering so it was time to go in.

Wish I hadn't have been sick, cause if not, I would've talked Colt into going and finding a hill to play on! Colt said everytime anything happens, I always get sick, which is pretty much true!

 I think this is the most snow I've ever seen. It was pretty, but it will definitely be a mess in the morning. Hope everyone stays safe and warm!
