latest in the life....
Well...first off, I have to apologize for not updating sooner. The truth is I have been lazy!
Not a whole lot is changed in our household. We are really looking forward to the spring and with it a lot warmer weather. Chicago winters always seem to live up to their reputation. We have had quite the snowfall in the last few weeks... not to mention ice and sub-zero temperatures. John will definetly be digging his car out the next time he drives it. Luckily, his car moves about 1x every 8 weeks.
In other car news, I got a new one! I got a grey 2008 Saturn VUE and I LOVE IT! I have never owned a brand new car it is very nice to be the only driver. With as how far I drive to work each day (100 miles/day), I am already up close to 4000. I know it dosent sound like much, but it only had 3 when i got it.
John is away on business right now. He is in the 2nd week of a 2 week training in Dallas, TX. It's always hard when one of us is away, but I think our 2.5 years of being in a long-distance relationship while we were dating, makes it a lot easier....plus, it's kinda nice to have the entire bed to myself once in awhile!
John will be startign gradschool in March. He got accepted to Depaul University in Chicago and will be studing Tax Law. The good news is that the program is 100% covered by his emplyer. I am in the process of getting approval to begin my masters as well. I am waiting for approval for tuition re-imbursment and then I should be set to begin in the summer at Depaul in Curriculum Studies with an emphaisis in reading.
I have decided to continue teaching preschool for another year. I really like my district and am going to stick it out at least one more year. It is truley challenging teaching such severe kiddos, but in the other hand, it is one of the most rewardng experiences of my life.
I think I am rambling now, so I will say goodbye for now! ~~ Jenna

Hello Everyone- Hope your Thanksgiving was happy and healthy. Ours was interesting. Another family at my grandparents house. It never ceases to amaze me how LOUD my moms side of the family is. The food wasnt great and we missed Grey's Anatomy, but all in all it was good to see family.

First Update
Hello Everyone- Well, here is our attempt to keep a blog. We will try to update everyone with the comings and goings of the "Chicago Wrights." John and I are busy trying to get our holiday shopping competed before Thanksgiving. Chicago turns into a shopping nighmare after Thanksgiving, so it will be nice to not have to go downtown with all the crazy tourists.
We set up our christmas tree and are now trying to save it from the wrath of our cats. It is proving to be quite the task. It may be down before chistmas, but it looks nice for now.
I went online a booked the airfare for our trip to Hawaii...I thought it would save money by splitting the airfare into 2 airports. Well, turns out I did the math wrong and now we are paying a few hundred more and flying into 3 airports.....oh well, the trip there will be an adventure in itself.
all for now........ Jenna
