So, what have we been up to.

Since June, Caitlyn of course finished school (but that was in May), Jen finished school (ok, maybe work is a better word for that). Then they both went back at the end of August. Work days came, and work days went, all very slow. It got so bad that I started to look for work elsewhere (not actively, but had a friend at a software company looking for someone so I threw my hat in the ring). None of it worked out though, so I stuck it out with the DOD.


Later on, I finally got a lot of information (which would have been nice at the beginning of my employment there) on what my title and role is. It seems that I've finally made my career goal of becoming a Sr System Admin! That's a good thing! The bad thing though is that because I'm said highish ranking person in a military installation, I don't do anything. I have underlings who do the work and I just make sure it gets done. So, all my boring nothing to do days, I've actually been doing what I was supposed to do and didn't realize it. Isn't that something.

Sometime in late June as well, the Legacy started to give all kinds of fits and would have cost more to fix it than what it was worth. So, with 200k miles on it, we traded it in on a new Forester for Jen. Top of the line 2011, Black on Black, and very purty. She says she likes it, and I'm inclined to believe her. Since we got her that, I took over her Silver 2005 Forester for the time being, and will probably drive it for quite a while. Currently it has 208k miles on it, and should be good for at least double that, but we'll see.

We took a trip in July to Florida that overlapped the Fourth holiday. Spent time in Lauderdale, Miami, Sanibel Island, and Orlando. Overall, a very good and relaxing trip, we have fun and got to unwind a lot. On the trip back, we split the drive in two and stopped in Savannah for the night. That was an unexpected trip, and we are hoping to make it back again sometime for a couple of days.

Other than the trip to Florida, there were no beach trips for me this summer. Jen and Caitlyn went on a couple, they also made a trip up to New York for a week in June. I've tried to start running again and have been doing ok with it. Started small, then worked my way up, then stopped completely for some unknown reason, now trying to motivate my lazy butt to hit the pavement again.

That's the bulk in a nutshell, it's not everything, but I tried to do a little catching up instead of blasting you with a bunch of info right out the gate.

Love to all, and talk soon.
