Happenings 2/24/2009

Things are good here in Chico!
Ian is doing great at his job, he has his first review coming up, and he got the Einstein Award! The Einstein Award is an Einstein troll doll that is passed around the design department to someone who is doing a really great job, and he got it! He is also finishing up his last semester at Chico State, and cannot wait to be done! Party at our house at the end of May! Between work, Team Graham and school Ian is pretty busy!
I am loving my classes this semester! I am learning German, studying gender and taking two art history classes! Its a full but really rewarding schedule! The daycare is really busy, we shortened our hours, but added more full time daytime kids, and things are running a lot better! Rachel is only going to be working there until the end of this semester, and then I will be all alone! We feel really lucky that while so many people are struggling in this economy we are able to have such great jobs. It is a blessing that we do not take lightly. Ian and I are currently really focused on getting our finances in a really good place. I am reading this great book, Total Money Makeover, that I recommend to anyone that is looking for a plan to getting debt free, and feeling secure. Also, I have been really focusing on learning to cook, so you all need to come visit us so I can make you yummy food! This weekend I made snickers bars! I can make healthy stuff too! :P
Zane is awesome!. He starts Gymnastics today and is so excited. I convinced them to put him in the 6+ class since the younger class was way to babyish for him. I think it was his headstand that won them over! We are pretty sure we will be moving to China soon so he can train for the 2016 olympics. We will miss you all!
Zane is loving school, even though he says his class is too easy. They are doing a reading contest and he is really working to read 2000 minutes in 5 weeks!
I am our of space! Hope everyone is well, I love reading what everyone is up to!
