As most readers know, I am what you would call "high strung" to say the least. Unfortunately, I am in a postition right now, where I cannot charm, convince, or bully my way into existence. I am impatiently waiting for my clinical license to come in the mail, so I can see clients and actully work. I am having to say the Serenity Prayer more and more.... this is a situation I must accept.
As far as life is concerned in the Legako House, we are simply enjoying our new house! Our anniversary present (50" plasma tv) is finally set up, and we are eagerly anticipating football season. To add fuel to the fire, Jerrad and I bought our TTU vs. Baylor tickets, which will be played in the new Cowboy's stadium.
So much to look forward to, if only I could be patient enough to wait on the timing!

I'm just a Summer Girl!!
I was blessed to have a fantastic 4th of July weekend! On Friday morning, Jerrad, I and his family went to Lake Alan Henry for some fishing and water fun. When we got home from the lake, Jerrad and I went to a street dance in down town Lubbock... uber fun. Then on Saturday, my mother and sister hosted a BBQ for my birthday, and we topped off the night watching fireworks across from the Windmill (fan) museum. On the way home from fireworks, my best friend called to say she got engaged on Saturday night. I am so excited for her!
We found out today that we get to move into the new house as early as Tuesday. I cannot put into words how incredibly excited I am about this. The dogs are going to have all the space they need to run and be labs. We are truly blessed in our lives right now, and I'm not sure this blog post is getting the point across.

Life update
We found a place to live... not in Jerrad's parent's house. It's a great house north of town. Three bedrooms, two baths, two car garage, large plot of land. Just perfect for us. Hopefully, we'll move in next few weeks.
I started a different job today. They were a month behind, I caught them up. Tomorrow I start trying to stay ahead. On wednesday I'll be calling the licensing board, to hound them about my CI status. I really want to start seeing clients. My new boss said that I have to interview with Outpatient before they agree to let me move over there. Not great news. My vulnerability is kicking in, "what if they don't like me?"
So I turn 25 this week. Le sigh.

job shift
Okay, so I LOVE my job.... and now I have to say good bye. I will be moving from Women's residential rehab to Case Manager of the Men's residential rehab. I'm very upset about this shift. Once I receive my LCDC-I, I'll be shifted from Men's residential to Outpatient treatment. I'm so sad about this.

Something to report!!
I got a job!!! Yes, I am finally gainfully employed, but not without the usual drama that weaves itself through my life. So I interviewed on Thursday, and the two ladies with whom I interviewed LOVED me. They did not even discuss with each other if they wanted to hire me, they just hired me! It felt wonderful after all the months of rejection to be hands down hired on the spot. I took my drug test on Friday and was told I could start on Tuesday.
Tuesday morning came, I woke up, got ready, and was excited about starting my new job today. I call the Director and left a message to call back when she was ready for me to come into work. After lunch, I had not heard anything, so I called again.... The Director no longer worked there. She worked there that morning, but not that afternoon. Very strange. So I called my immediate supervisor, she said I still had a job, and that I needed to talk to this other lady. So, now I am waiting for her to call me back. I hope all of this blows over, cause I am itching to be useful again.
The boys are doing fine. I think they are ready to have their own house again. We'll start looking for houses in the next few weeks. You know, so the boys can be happier!!

Nothing to report
Hola!
So, I've been sitting around for a couple of months now.... I went on one job interview, they went in another direction. I guess that direction is away from me.
The boys have been having a good time. They chew raw hides and sleep on their backs everday. I used to envy the dogs, now I share their lifestyle. Makes it real hard to complain about life.
Sonny is learning to jump with his back feet instead of his chest. Most of the time, jumping with your chest is not a hindrance unless he wants to get onto the bed, couch, or in the car. The car is the only approved place for him to jump, but since Welker is an accomplished jumper, he can get anywhere. I think the fact that Welker can go anywhere he wants annoys Sonny. This may be the inspiration behind trying to learn to jump correctly. My theory on this matter is that white men can't jump, Sonny may be out of luck.
When I have more to report, I'll blog again.

Welker's blog status
Today was a good day... laying in the sunshine, sniffing around in the back yard and driving Grandma crazy. We started the day wondering why Sonny was throwing up... turn out he eats too fast. I spent the next part of my day (after my midmorning nap, of course) jumping at the back door. I whined around house for a few hours, and then took Dad to AutoZone. I'll probably finish the day up snoring on the carpet.
Sniff Sniff Horray!

Greetings
Hello all, and welcome to La Vida Legako.... yeah. We are officially Lubbockites again, living with Jerrad's parents. Just to think, we each have two degrees and we mooch from mom and dad.
Jerrad is full swing in his PhD, he'll be a doctorate of Meat Science when all is said and done. Hopefully, he'll be able to support my extravagant life style one of these days. All I need now is to get an extravagant lifestyle.
Sonny and Welker are enjoying their stay at Grandma's house. They play with their aunt Molly all day and eat her food at night. Life is good for the boys.
No news on the job front yet. I'm hoping to hear from one or two places early next week. With any luck I will be gainfully employed in a couple of weeks. Keep me in your prayers if you don't mind.

With nothing to report, I'll just post pictures of my little boys and be on my way!!!
This is Sonny on Christmas Day, he's so big now.
This is Welker right before we left for Texas.... He'll always be Momma's first baby.
