Long Time Out

Been since February since I've had a chance to post on here. I really need to get some picture updates, start carrying a camera around or something. Still working on Malibu sector at the TRACON. The near completion of Malibu has been a long arduous journey with many ups and downs. There is hardly a day leaving work that doesn't represent that same fact as a whole, being any given day will contain components where I felt I have done really well combined with other elements that I have struggled with. Thanks to the help of the experienced controllers at the job, they have eliminated a lot of my struggling points. Although it seems as though there is always another huge hurdle to overcome. Hopefully I will be done with my first sector soon and all the hard work I have put in, along with those training me will get to stand out.

Life at home is good as well, my wonderful wife has put us on a budget to get us through until I get some raises at work...someones gotta keep us in check. My little Clow-bo is crawling around all over the place and pulling herself up to stand where she can a firm hold on a solid object, very cute indeed. Kaitlyn like my wife says when talking to her you forget you're talking to a two year old. Kaitlyn is very good at keeping a conversation and surprising you with all the things she comes up with. Her memory never ceases to impress me, from memorizing all the characters on the different shows we let her watch to all the different animals and objects she remembers from what either Shelly or Grandma Honey has taught her. The other day she was pushing one of our smaller furniture pieces and she needed help and was asking for it, then she said "Tway" a word she picked up from ni hao kailan that means to push. Funny how she just pulls it out of nowhere, amazing little girl.

Only thing going on currently outside of work and the family is a book series David got me started on by Naomi Novik. It has been really interesting so far and really hard to put down. Started Just last week and am almost half way through the third book, Black Powder War. Great series can't wait to get completely caught up and discuss it with my bro.

Looking forward to the upcoming months, my seven year anniversary is next month, I can't believe at all that I have been married for seven years. Although at the opposite end of that I don't remember what it was like to not be married anymore, I can't imagine life another way.

Hopefully I will add more updates, I say this every time I get around to updating this thing. Hopefully this time it will stick and I will get some pictures! Of course Shells does a good job of providing you all pictures on her blog.
