The Wearin' O the Green

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Austin and I have been talking for a few days now about how he needed to wear something green to school today for St. Patrick's Day or else face the possibility of being pinched, so we made sure to get out his most green shirt this morning! After talking this tradition up for days, I then realized that I had better tell him not to pinch any of his friends at school if they weren't wearing green! Hopefully he'll remember that today!

Nick has been working at his new job for almost a week and things are going well. Monday through today, he has had to travel to the main office in Rockford for training, which is quite a drive from our place (a little over 2 hours!). The company did loan him a gas card, which is awesome, though! Tomorrow he gets to start working at the Bloomington office, so hopefully that will be a little easier on the schedule for him. He's still working his old job, and today was the first day he did a night shift followed by a day shift, so I'm going to have to see how that worked out for him. I completely respect and admire that he wants to work the two jobs for a while to build up our savings accounts, but I also want him to (a) not make himself sick and/or crazy with so little sleep, and (b) be around at night and on the weekends soon! I have a feeling that he's not going to want to keep this up for too long, so I should be able to convince him to drop the second full time job soon!
