A bit of catch up...

Yes, I know... it's been over a month since my last post. What can I say? I was busy! :) Let's see... where to start. Most of you likely already know this really... but we'll start with the house saga. We are out of the Skyline house. The HOA vs Realtor & Seller battle wore too thin on our nerves, and we folded. We don't regret the decision... we found another house quickly. It's in the country club area, on the 18th Fairway. A nice two story deal, with 2 car garage, patio, hot tub, etc. Very nice place. Will put some pics up after we move in. When is that, you may ask? We close in a week from Tuesday. Coming up quick, we've been packing like mad to get ready for it. We're pretty sure our buyer is thrilled... she finally has a concrete closing date as well! :) Enough about the house stuff...we'll be talking a lot about that until we're settled in.

Moving on. Work. I've been doing quite a bit of outreach over the last week. Well, I guess I should say that I've been assisting in a lot of outreach this week. I did my first section of the observer training presentation. My boss said I did good. I know I have some work to do on it, but as my mantra goes... I can only get better from here.

What else...what else. We got a Nintendo Wii... it has been an absolute blast to play!!! We're not in a massive hurry to buy games for it since we have that games-by-mail program. No need to go nuts here, afterall.

My middle niece turned 2 a couple of days ago. Get to see her soon when we go home to see the family. Already looking forward to that. We're hoping to have the house completely decorated before we go so I can take some pictures to show the families.

Hmmm.........though a lot of stuff has been going on, it's mainly been circulating around the house, so there's not too much to report here. One of my friends got a promotion and is moving back east. Couldn't be better news for him. Truly... very good, I know he will do great in his new role. But onward. I'm thrilled to be in my current role, and am not sure where or what I want to do next. I've flexed a couple other muscles now and roles relating to that flexing are becoming more appealing. But, alas, any such decision is a couple years away, and I'm fine with that added time. I have a lot to learn as a forecaster... so for now I'll focus on that, some projects, and my home life. I think that's the better way for me to be at this point.

I hope all is going well with everyone. I'll do my best to update things quite a bit sooner next time.
