another dollar in the till

so a quickie update, unfortunately i am at work so no pictures. i(holly) got a second job working at a local vet hospital as a part time receptionist and i start tomorrow. this means one of two things (a)we will be able to put more money in savings or (b) we may defer some money to finally buy our kayaks. our wish list seems so long sometimes and the idea of buying a house so far off its hard to keep on track. otherwise i am super excited about getting this job becuase i enjoy working with animals and also sparticus needs to have a tooth removed so now we can afford to do it.
as far as work with the county goes my temporary assignment to linthicum is coming to an end. i'm excited to be roving again and moving around the county but also a little scared to be leaving my protective umbrella of my mentor.

in like a lion out like a lamb?

So far march has been wonderful. Wonderful weather that is. Us O'Neills are doing fairly well. I(Steve) just recently found out I wont be able to recieve as much money as I did this previous year for school. So I am unsure of what exactly this means for me. So Im still awaiting a letter to see if other scholarships come through. Hopefully there will be enough for this next year, otherwise, ill be working another job very soon. Which I may because the past week or so my hours have been cut since the winter season is over, and the spring is to come. Which is understandable, but Ive got a stomch to feed, well actually 2 stomachs to fill, that is if you count mine as one.

I am longing for those warmer days to come. Days to start biking to school, taking sparticus to the dog park, playing some frisbee, going outside more often without so many layers on, going rock climbing, hiking, and just spending more time outdoors, and driving with the top down, with my co pilot holly. I bet you thought I was going to say sparticus as my co pilot. Hes the co pilot on the days she works. Work has been all right for holly. Things are just still moving along for us.

So thats about it for this update!

and now a picture for your enjoyment!
