Hi-Ho! Hi-Ho! It's (Back) To Work We Go... *whistles*

So, after the plague hit our family, it was back to work for us both. Jeff is continuing to work on getting his paperwork done to become a broker with another firm, and in the meantime he's continuing as an account manager for AT&T. So far, this has been very successful for him, and his boss has encouraged him to look into other more "9-5" positions within the company. Apparently, he has made some great progress and made some good contacts, so here's hoping there's more growth in the future!

Jen is continuing her work as well. She started school again this semester. She has a teacher she is, let's say, not the fondest of again for her current class. The one positive is that it's only a 10-week course! She also has to complete another externship and has signed up for that as well. She will start that at the beginning of March, meaning there will be a 2-week overlap between her book coursework and her externship, then she will continue to extern until the end of April. The site she picked is one local to Fremont and now she has to set up schedules for her and her supervisor. They shouldn't conflict with work and hopefully she can get a lot of extra hours.

We are also trying to work on New Year's resolutions. We have the usual: work out, lose weight, etc. But this year, we've both added a reading challenge. There was an article on a 52-book challenge that Jen came across and she thought she'd be crazy enough to try it. So far, she has read 6 books required and it's only 3 weeks into the year. Once school really picks up (and that two weeks of overlap kick in) she may fall behind, but in the meantime she's reading as much as she can. This link will take you to the PopSugar Reading Challenge that she's trying.

Jeff wanted to do one as well, but his is a little shorter. His is a Bingo-card challenge, based off of the original one Jen is doing. This one is only 24 books on a card (the middle card is a free square) and he's trying to keep up! Below is his Bingo card. If you decide to join, let us know and we can compare books! Happy reading!!
