On this memorial day, I'm grateful for all those who have fought and are fighting for our freedoms. I personally have two good friends serving. It worries me for their safety but I am eternally grateful that they, and all the other men and women of the military, are willing to risk their lives to protect my life, my freedoms and my home. So here's a shout out to Scott Lalliss and Justin Porter!
Because of these freedoms I enjoy, I have gotten a new job! I begin work tomorrow, May 26, 2008. Over one year since I've had a steady income. It will be difficult to go back to an 8 hour, 5 days a week job, but it will be really nice to have a good income, health and dental and a 401k. The company is called Smile Reminder. You can check them out at Smile Reminder. They are a company that works with doctor and dentist offices. They have software that they can send text messages and emails for reminders for appointments and birthdays and other advertisements. I will be customer support and training and technical support. They also have good room for advancement. I'm hoping to become the photoshop guy but I'll have to see.
My parents come home in about 6 weeks, July 7th. So now I'm trying to prepare the yard for their return. My problem has been that last year we let the yard go so it's a lot of work. I'm open to all volunteers or service projects. There's lots of weeding and trimming and fixing sprinklers and many many more things. My new job is a blessing but a curse when it comes to this work. Blessing cause I can pay for repairs and fertilizer and other supplies but now I have little time to work. Oh well I guess I'll have to do what most people do all the time.
I've been recruited to the Institute fireside committee. My friend Steph is in charge and asked me to help with the technical side of firesides. I've been to the Institute about 10 times so it will be interesting to go and learn the layout of the building. The committee members all seem to be cool. We will be working closely over the next year so it should be fun.
Well that's about it...if there is still anyone reading after this long post I thank you and hope you come back.

Wow... you finally got a job? I was starting to think that you really were going to be a lifelong YA technician :P Congratulations and good luck with going back to the full time thing :)
Thanks for the shout out to my darling husband! Thanks even more for being such a great friend - to both of us.
