A quick update for friends and family regarding the Calderwood Chronicle's current events.
First, Shaun begins work tomorrow. He will be working for a commercial flooring company as one of their sales representatives in the Northern VA/MD area. The commute will be long but the job is a job, and potentially a very good job. We'll see how the next six months go and if things are going well we'll probably look into buying a home. The goal is still for me to go down to part time next July so we'll see how he's doing at meeting he's sales goals at that point. His position isn't the pay we were quite hoping for but with commission could potentially exceed our expectations... again time will tell. It's good in that it will certainly motivate Shaun to meet his numbers. He's excited and I'm excited for him.
Secondly, I've lost 15 pounds. I'm half way to my goal, but like I said from the start even if I just lose five more pounds I'll be content. I have just ten days left of the program so I think five more pounds is realistic. I can work on the remaining ten slow and steady. I fear the holidays may make this hard but if I can manage to eat nothing but chicken and grapefruit for a month I can handle the holidays!

I hope the job goes well for you guys! Way to go on losing 15 pounds...I still think you are super woman! I think you can, I think you can, I think you can!
Yay! I hope the job goes well. And, congrats again on losing the weight! That is amazing. Just out of curiosity, how many sizes did you go down? Keep up the great work.
Congratulations on Shaun's job! I can only understand the relief that you guys must be feeling that he has something. And the hopes you guys have to transition roles from student to provider and from provider to part-time job + homemaker. You both have been patient and persistent. And I admire you! And way to go on the personal goal of losing 15 lbs, Becca!
