Been a very busy couple of months....
Biggest news: Abbie and Alex graduated from Gordon College last weekend!!!!!
Abbie has moved home and is currently (as in right now!) talking with an Asset Management company in the area about a job. This would be a job in her area of study, whoo-hoo! (More on that later, I hope!) Alex has also moved back to his parents' home and is working for Gordon Physical Plant this summer and looking for a job in his field (graphic design).
In the last two months, I have posted numerous bishop applications to the bishop search web-site and read ALL of them at least once, made a number of entries to the bishop search blog (an idea we copied from Minnesota)...the blog is at http://CTBishopSearch.blogspot.com if you are interested. I have been to Charlotte and Denver on bank merger business (and it looks like I will be going to Portland, Oregon on bank merger business next month). I am starting to get a little concerned about my long-term prospects of employment, partially because my manager is also getting concerned, and even though the division head says that he has no plans to layoff ANY IT folks, just to re-assign them. We shall see.
I am on PTO this week: the idea was to get most of Abbie's stuff organized and also to start getting my room organized and partially painted so that my office could be moved out of the Guest room, which will be Torben's room come middle of August. (Oh, did I mention that we are getting a German boy as an exchange student this year?). I came down with a cold, and Abbie has also been suffering with the dregs of a cold so we have not gotten near as much done as I hoped that we would. I have gotten two closets cleaned out and my office supplies moved from one to the other. And made two trips to Goodwill. But there are still a whole mess of books to cull, and things to organize in the basement...And I have twelve phone interviews sets of notes to read before tomorrow morning...
Must get to it....
