Due to some technical difficulties, I had to create a new blog. Sorry for the inconvenience. You can view it here: NEW Life as a Hunton.
I FINALLY took time to get these pictures together from Italy. Michael and I had a wonderful time visiting several Italian cities at the beginning of February. What a beautiful place! We were in Florence on Valentine's Day, and I'm not sure if that will ever happen again. But, the memories we made will be more than enough for me. Check back within the next few days for our Egypt pictures...and a funny video of us riding a camel!
Michael started his second semester this week. Thankfully, his professors are taking things slowly here at the beginning. We've really enjoyed being back in Vienna again without it being completely chaotic. Another bit of good news is that Michael gets a break for Easter! We weren't expecting him to have any more time off, but we are taking advantage of it and will be going to Greece for a few days. I'm really excited!
As for me starting back to school, I began the online leveling courses through Lipscomb which are the prerequisites for me to get my MBA. The courses are modified to be completed within 4 weeks, but I doubt it will take me that long since I currently have no other obligations. :) So far, I'm really enjoying it. Most of all, it's nice to wake up in the morning and know that I have specific goals of tasks to accomplish...besides cleaning, emailing, or blogging.
Now, you may be wondering when I will start the MBA program. Well, I'll tell you. Our plan is to be in Houston until Michael graduates in December, at which point we want to move back to Nashville! Our moving is contingent on Michael getting a job, but we're hopeful it won't be too difficult. I mean, who wouldn't want him? I can't imagine anyone not being interested. Anyway, I can start the program in January and, if all goes well, I can finish in December 2009.
My last exciting bit of FABULOUS news is that I have a Skype phone with a local U.S. number! Getting the phone and being able to talk semi-normally with other people is by far the best thing that has happened since we've been in Vienna (aside from the traveling, of course)!!!! It's not perfect, but I'm so thankful that people can call me, or I can call them, and it's actually clear reception. There is no doubt in my mind that God is good...this phone proves it!
Michael's computer is in the shop, but when it returns, I will post pictures from the last few months. I know you can't wait, so be checking.
