Just a little update...

So not much has been going on with us lately, but I figured it was high time for an update and since I have just been sitting here surfing the internet, I may as well... Not much has happened for us lately, we are just hanging in there, same ol, same ol.
I have been working and studying really hard to get a promotion to supervisor at work and it looks like it's finally happening. I still have one more interview, but it's really more of an HR formality than an actual interview since the two hiring managers have already signed off on me and I'm already on the managers schedule for June. When I started working for Ross part time in 2009 it was supposed to just be a temporary job, but I really do love the store (and the discount) and I have easily been able to work myself up into management in just over a year and I have to say that the benefits and pay are definitely worth it. :) I'm really excited to be able to learn more and gain more experience, plus having that "manager" title on my resume won't hurt at all either. :)
Mike is still the Sales Manager at Merlin's TV and he is doing great there! He is almost done with his Bachelor's Degree in Business Marketing and then hopefully he will be able to find a bigger and better job (cross your fingers...and your toes)! He wants it so bad and I do too and we believe that it will happen, so I know it will-we just have to be patient and wait for the right opportunity.
We were both able to take some vacation time off work at the end of this month and while we aren't planning on taking a big extravagant vacation this year, we are planning on going camping - yes, that's right- Mike and Shanna Myers are going to venture into the great outdoors and pee in the woods for a few days...It's still hard for me to believe too, but I'm excited. First things first though, we need a tent. And sleeping bags, cooking stuff, and pretty much everything camping related. The only camping related items we own are camp chairs! It will be good to disappear for a few days though and just disconnect from the rest of the world. We are really excited and we were able to work it so that we have the 4th of July weekend off too so we will be able to enjoy all the festivities together this year, unlike last year when I had to work. :(
Well I guess thats about it for us right now, just living one day at a time. I guess I will update you again after our staycation and will hopefully have something much more enthralling for you and perhaps some pictures too! Until then......
