a little catch up blog action…
here i am sitting in my office jotting a little action down in notepad to pass the next hour so i can head home..or to the valley i guess. after this first week of work i’m heading to the valley to hop on a plane to fly into Atlanta. The Rendon family is getting sealed this Saturday, and somehow we’ve been able to make it happen that i’m going to meet Garner there for the weekend. This is something that i had dreamed about since the day i met that family.. I just got off track thinking of the first night we met them, and i wrote in my journal about seeing them in the Temple. In two days that dream will become a reality and that family will be together forever.
On a more boring note the first week of work here has been eventful. It’s weird being back, but it has been a warm welcome and people are excited to see me back out here. The salary is kinda scary, and the thought of a standard income with less stress is almost a weird feeling. I feel very inadequate right now, but i’m sure it’s just going to take a little time to adjust to the setting of new servers, new people, and a new way of doing things. Pretty much i think it is going to be just fine, and i think that Amanda is happy with the move.
We have been trying to sleep on the bed that was in the room we moved into, but after two weeks of fighting it Amanda and my mom got our bed out of storage and back into our bedroom. Last night was such a difference of sleep that i can’t believe we went so long without it.
My supervisor just came by, and i’ve got to say he’s pretty much the nicest boss that i’ve ever worked with. He likes to tell stories and talk to you so it’s not an intimidating experience to talk to him. Looks like the first week of the rest of my professional career went rather well. With so many things and possibilities in our near future as a family it only excites me to know of the stability that i have here in this company. The other stuff is more possible now, and less of a burden to me. I only hope that i can keep up with school and make work, school, and lofe balance once again as i did in the valley.
Life with Gwen has been pretty fun and eventful up to this point, and hopefully it will continue to be that for the future. If not then i hope that we are prepared and able to make the changes necessary for us to find our home, and settle there to build a family. For some reason i don’t think that Christmas will be near as lonely this year…
New Years brought tubing. I only mention it as i post the picture of Amanda. Fun was definitely had, and i hope that we can make it up there again with more snow.
