Time for a Cool Change

I had lunch a week ago Thursday with 3 folks from Chesapeake, one of whom I met on my other two visits. They called back last Thursday and extended an offer, which I accepted. My last day at Inoveon will be 08/17/2007. I'm disappointed on many levels. Everyone that has been associated with Inoveon has worked tremendously hard, and I'll miss the people and the cause (trying to prevent the leading cause of blindness in the US).

I start @ Chesapeake August 20th and will serve as supervisor - service desk tier 1. I stopped by there after work yesterday and picked up some material to help get me situated. And I can't tell you how excited I am.

More to come...

Jonathan's Quote of The Day (QoTD)


Context: Katrina gave our dog a bath in the boy's bathtub, and she had just finished washing out the tub with those crazy foaming bubbles.

Jonathan walks in and says: "Mommy, it smells like someone's coming for a visit"

Robby's Quote of the Day (QoTD)



"Mom, what if this isn't real life. What if it's just someone's big dream?"


Now that's funny!

Briefly Briefing

Hey everybody. Just a quick update on what's been going on around here. The boys went with G&G W last Friday and came back home yesterday. They had a great time from the sound of it, and Katrina and I had a pretty good time as well. We got quite a few things done that had been getting put off.

We had 3 ball games last night. Robby had a double-header and Jonathan had a game right after. Jonathan had two hits, two runs, and played catcher and third base. Pretty solid performance I'd say!

If you haven't ever used iTunes, it's time you did. Go to www.apple.com and download it. Then go to the iTunes U section and check out Concordia University's abundance of content! Very good stuff for the spirit, and not milk either. Real steak!

Work has been very busy. We're very short staffed, and can't really afford more mouths to feed. So we're all kind of sucking it up and hanging on for the ride!

I'll have some pictures this weekend from the boy's games and whatever else we do this weekend. Until then, here's one from the JoshCam!

Summer Summer Summer

Haven't posted in awhile because we've had a really busy summer so far.

If you're from Oklahoma / Texas, you know about all the rain we've had. If you're not I'll fill you in. It's been WET! Jonathan and Robby are both signed up to play ball, and we've only been able to get a few practices in, and no games until last night (that's like a month worth of games that have been cancelled due to rain / muddy fields). So we had a game start last night but the game was called after one inning due to lightning. Here are a few pictures.





This was Jonathan's team, but they were short on players so Robby got to help them out! I was really proud of him, as he fielded a ball on defense and got a turn at bat. He almost hit it a few times, even tho he's never actually been on the receiving end of a pitch!

We have another game scheduled for tonight and the weather looks good, so I guess we might get to finish more than one inning!

More to come!
