A corpse rises from the grave!
Well, not literally. But this dude is leaving the grave shift behind forever! You heard me right, I got a new job. For those of you who don’t know, I work at Hill Air Force Base as a civilian contractor, and for the last two years, have whittled away the night hours staring at a computer screen. I’ve been looking for a new job pretty much the whole time, while not very proactively I’ll admit. But anyway, I obtained a day position here at the same place I’m working now, actually for a contractor I worked for a couple years back. So now I get to sleep at night like everyone else, I’ll work Monday through Friday, and have regular hours! Needless to say, Dixie was ecstatic when she found out, as was I.
I start June 1st, and June 4th they’re sending me to Atlanta for some training. I had a scout camp planned with the teachers quroum that week, but didn’t have much of a choice. I was bummed that I wouldn’t be able to go, but now that I have Friday nights off, that will give me many more opportunities to go on other campouts and activities with the boys. Oh yeah, for those of you that don’t know, I’m an assistant Varsity coach with the teachers quorum, so if I ever mention “the boys”, you’ll know who I’m talking about.
So anyway, as for an update on the baby, he’s doing fine. Actually doing better than Maddie was at his age. Dixie is really feeling this pregnancy though. Much tougher than the last one. She’s constantly tired, and I feel terrible that I’m going to have to leave her for a whole week so close to her due date. But all in all, with the new job, spirits are high, and we’re doing great. I’ve been trying to get more excercise, been out riding my bike, and hoping to make a real habit of it. Perhaps I can get rid of this gut I’ve collected sitting at a desk all night long for two years. And it is so much easier when the weather is so nice. I LOVE SUMMER!
