We’ll really miss…

These:

And lots of other things and people too, there’s just too much to list.

Some of you who are long-time viewers might have noticed that I’ve been conspicuously absent from the blog in recent months. Well I assure you that I’ve been using my time in matters almost as weighty as  blogging.

For some cosmic reason, most companies that recruit from my major like to do their interviewing about 50 years in advance. So this fall I’ve been putting a lot of effort into all that goes with getting a real job. After seemingly endless hours answering and asking question after question in interviews and information sessions, then pouring over every detail about the companies that are crazy enough to hire me, we’ve made a decision.

No, there are no real mountains, and yes it’s a bit far from family. Trust me, we really did consider those and many other facts, but there are a lot of positive benefits that come with living in Texas.

After all that hoopla, we decided to go with the company that I didn’t really have to interview with. So we’ll be going back to San Antonio where I will be working at USAA. Yipee! We are grateful to even have a job to take considering the state of the economy, so three cheers for Texas!

Kennedy's Nursery

I've had a few requests to post pictures of Kennedy's nursery, so here they are.  I had a fun time decorating and putting it together.  I had a lot of  help from my mom and mother-in-law and couldn't have done it without them.  My mom and I made the bumper pads and the crib sheet, I decorated the block letters,  and Barb made the cute pillow, quilt, crib skirt, and valence.   Thanks moms, I love it and Kennedy does too!  So does Zak even though he thinks it's a pink overload. ;)
