One of the biggest bombshells I've ever was told happened this week. One of the owners of the company that I've worked for a few weeks shy of 3 years came in and told me that he has bad news and very good news. He went on to say that they were eliminating my graphic design position/department at the company. They are going to send all of the work to the design firm out east that we acquired in a merge last year. He quickly responded that he doesn't want to see me go and wanted to know if I would become a purchaser for the company. This would include bidding out all of the design jobs that I once did, along with way more from other companies.
With a new house 2 months away, I told him the next day that I'll take the new job. I was initially numb to think that I'd never be a designer again because it's all I've known in my day to day life for the past 12 1/2 years. The more I have thought about it, I think it will be a great experience and job for me. Sure my first day is Monday and I haven't even had my feet wet yet, I'm looking at this to be very positive move. As for the blog, please note, the new updates will have to come on the weekend as I no longer will be working from home.

Like I've said, Kevin loves putting things around his neck and on his head.
Until recently Nick and Daddy had their own way of singing "wheels on the bus". It developed soon after he learned to speak and saw the movie Toy Story for the first time and was sang almost every day on the way to school. Nick doesn't let me sing this version anymore, he wants the real words. So before it lets lost here is a mini version-
The wheels on the bus go round and round, all through the town,
Woody's on the bus and he says, reach for the sky, all through the town,
Buzz lighyear is on the bus and he says, to infinity and beyond, all through the town,
Jessie's on the bus and she says, yeeeehaaaa, all through the town,
Ham's on the bus and he says, oink oink oink, all through the town,
Rex's on the bus and he says, ROOOOAAAAAR, all through the town,
Aliens's on the bus and he says, Bee bop bow boop, all through the town,
....it goes on and on at this point, we throw all kinds of animals on that bus and hear what they have to say.
Currently Nick's favorite books are two he received for Christmas, Superman and Batman. He asks Mommy to read Batman and Dad to read Superman.
