Random Updates on Life
It's been awhile since my last entry, so here are a few updates on life in general.
I attended the University of Iowa commencement on May 11 and now have my MBA! What a relief it is to be finished. It is an awesome feeling to not have classwork taking up all of my free time.
The baby and Heather are doing well. The doctor did notice something on the last ultrasound that needs to be watched, but she said it's nothing to be concerned about at this point. We will have another ultrasound at our next appointment (June 6), so hopefully everything is better by then. It's been exciting to feel the baby kick and move around from the outside! Sometimes I swear she's moving around when she hears me talk. :-)
Our vacation was awesome. Our first flight was delayed to Chicago, so we ended up having to reroute through LAX and arrived and in Portland nine hours later than originally planned. We then had to drive to Seattle and were awake for 23 1/2 hours straight. After that, things got much better! We spent a day in Seattle, drove down the Oregon coast and stayed in several towns, went through the redwood forest in northern California, headed up to Crater Lake, and then drove back to Portland for our flight home. We drove a total of 1400 miles over 11 days.
Work is going well, although I'm still being spread across too many programs (six, at last count). It gets old trying to decide which project(s) to put off in order to devote time to others. There is a chance that I will have some changes in my career path in the next few months, so stay tuned for updates...
That's about it. Most of my free time these days has been getting stuff ready for the baby to come. I get to start the big project of laying hardwood floors in our upstairs living room, hallway, and bedrooms within the next week or so. Then, we have to start putting the baby room together, because Robocop will be here before we know it! At least I won't have any pesky homework distracting me from this stuff anymore!
