Been a crazy summer, and I haven’t been writing. Layoffs, job hunting and concern of the future is what ruled my summer. I have had a good one though. Softball was fun this year, even though we didn’t win a lot of games. Played a lot of Halo 3, and found a new favorite game in COD4. Hung out with friends and did a fair amount of grilling and not enough bbqing (yes, there is a difference). Went to the pool a lot, and still managed not to get a tan. Made a trip to Valley Fair, but not a whole lot of trips otherwise (thats what I get for getting a diesel vehicle).
Thought for sure I would be moved by August, but I am still in Aberdeen. I really didn’t want to move, but it seemed thats the way God wanted things to be. But he provided me with the option to stay, and has blessed me further. The conversion/layoff event didn’t go with out some losses though. I lost one of my best friends at work, as he and his family moved back to Canada. He will be missed, even though I can still IM with him, on an almost daily basis. We lost too many other good people as well. Even with that, I think we can survive this financial crisis.
Pretty excited, I am heading to San Diego at the end of Sept, to my cousin’s wedding. That will be my big trip for the year, I think. Found really cheap tickets out of Omaha (less that $200!). Bit of a drive, but if you live close, I would recommend looking at flying out of there. Never been to San Diego, or CA for that matter, so I am looking forward to some exposure to the left coast. Well, think thats all I got for now.
