Ever since Craig and I fostered the golden retriever from Adopt-a-Golden Atlanta, I get their newsletter once sometimes twice a months. I got this list of commandments for dogs when we adopted Duke, but misplaced it. Just thought it was cute to share.

 10 Commandments of Dogs
Things have been busy. Trying to work as much as possible and finish up with my Maymester. My final is on the 3rd. Craig booked our Vintage Bi Plane ride. Mom got us a gift certificate for Christmas and we’ve hung on to it until the weather turned nice and their was color back in everything. We were going to do it next weekend to celebrate 25 years (woop woop), but they were booked. So we scheduled it for the 22nd (closer to Anna’s 25 years – that’s how I’ll personally celebrate her 25 years). So excited about this. Thanks again Mama!

Things have been a bit crazy in the Culberson household this past week. Craig came home Thursday evening to tell me that he had been laid off from his job. They let three people go, he was one of them. The economy sucks, people aren’t buying much right now, and the dealerships aren’t wasting their money on “pimping” out the vehicles on their lots. Pimping not being the technical term of course but you get the drift. Anyways, Craig being one of the last ones hired and most “green” of everyone in the shop was one of the first to go.
I was a crying, sobbing mess on Thursday night and Friday. Just because worry kind of hit me like a ton of bricks. My part time salary (as grateful for it as I am) doesn’t quite cut it and I was wondering what we were going to do about school. But we’ve both talked about it and I think this is a blessing in disguise. It came at as good of time as possible for something like this to happen. I want Craig to find something he enjoys and loves to do. We thought that time wouldn’t come until I got done with school, but it came sooner than we both expected. He’s getting his opportunity now. So if you think about it in the next few weeks please keep him in your prayers. He’s had some promising possiblities. Our neighbor Mark is trying to get him in where he works and other people are keeping him in mind, too. Craig is such a hard worker. I know where ever he ends up he’s going to do an amazing job. I’ve said it before but I feel so blessed to be going through life with him. We’ve been through a lot in just the short three and a half years that we’ve known each other. This is no different. We’ll get through it and be stronger for it in the end.
I’m almost half way through my three and a half week Maymester. Summer school starts on the 9th of June. After summer school is over I’ll only have thirteen more classes. This year and half WILL be worth it. I’m determined to make it worth it. I made all A’s last semester and I’m working on another one for my Macroeconomics class. Kind of ironic that the week we talk about recessions, depressions, inflation, unemployment rates, etc is the time Craig and I are experiencing it first hand. Every class meeting this week, I’ve felt like giving a big middle finger to our sucky economy.
