Big update
I have been very busy lately and neglecting lj completely as well as not being able to talk to my friends much, so I'll try and hit all the big changes in this entry.


I've been at my new job for six months so far and it is going great. I actually have stuff to do and a clear leadership. It's a complete 180 from my first job. At the end of July I got promoted to Production/Technical Lead on our project, which means I manage the finances and scheduling and all that good stuff. It keeps me very busy, but I enjoy doing it. I'm getting ready to fly out to San Diego tomorrow until Wednesday to do some testing. I love work travel, cause it doesn't cost a dime to visit San Diego for 3 days!



I got a dog at the end of June. Chocolate Lab who weighs about 85 pounds. His list of favorite things to do includes play fetch, chew everything he can find, and whine when you don't pay attention to him at all times. His dislikes include thunderstorms and the dark brown sphere pieces of his dog food.




Finally the biggest thing. I just signed an offer for a house. I close on Sept 8 and I'll probably move in 1st of October. Melodie will move in when her lease expires in May. I got a great deal on a good 2067 sq ft starter home on .345 acres. It's very nice for the price I got. I'm excited. I didn't dislike living at Brad's, but it's not layed out the way I like and buying a house makes all sorts of sense. The goal was to get something I can afford myself so when Melodie moves in any income she provides is bonus to do more cool stuff.



All right, that's all the major stuff for now. Maybe I'll update again in another 3 months.
