I'm Still Alive!
Two whole months have flown by. Amazing.
I just wanted to let all (heh) of my regular readers that I'm still breathing. Ever since returning from our vacation (which was awesome), things have been really busy and there have been many changes. Let's see what's happened over the last couple of months:
- Heather celebrated her 26th birthday
- I had a graduation party to celebrate finishing my MBA
- We went camping in South Dakota for the annual family reunion on Heather's mom's side
- Heather started the summer of CR Municipal Band (and this coming Sunday is the last concert already!)
- Heather stopped working at Miyazawa Flutes and is now working part-time as the Nursery Coordinator for our church
- Watershed began its summer sabbatical, meeting only once per month, in order for the leadership team to concentrate on finding a new location and defining our vision going forward
- I saw Weird Al in concert here in CR
- I finished replacing all the carpet in our house with hardwood flooring (what a slow job, but the results look great)
- We finally have the baby room 100% ready to go! (only four weeks until the due date)
- I had tons of interviews, both formal and informal within Rockwell Collins for possible new positions (see below for details)
- I traveled to Singapore 7/20-7/27 for business, and my body is still somewhat screwed up today (27 hour trip one way, 13 hour time difference)
Looking back on all that, I can see why I haven't taken the time to Blog recently! Sorry for keeping the two of you that actually read this thing out of the loop!
Baby is really growing like a weed. We're able to feel her moving around a lot and she actually had the hiccups this morning as I was feeling her. :) It's hard to believe that she'll be out here in this world in about a month!
Work continues to be busy, but I've finally been able to pass off some of my assignments to another engineer. The program for which I traveled to Singapore is my biggest effort now, but it's actually enjoyable. As I mentioned above, I've been continuing in my fact-finding meetings around the company. Off the top of my head, I'd say that I've met with at least six different people,some more than once, to inquire about careers in five different areas. After all of this, I belive I've found the next place I would like to move. I'm still in communication with two people in that area and have another meeting next week to discuss some options. There's a chance I could be moving into a new job within the next several months, which is pretty exciting. As I've said before, I'm really happy with the way things are going in my current job, so I'm able to approach this with a lot of peace.
I'll try to not let so much time pass before posting again! Stay tuned, because you'll soon be seeing some pictures of our baby up here!
