It’s been a pretty normal-ish month. If you can have one of those at this stage.
I have been doing yard work (see the jungle I had to cut in the backyard).
Mark another change: we started going to a new church. New Hope!
Also, I sent back my laptop to P3 just the other day. It’ll be nice not having so many other items around and simplifying with the MacBook instead. The MacBook is nice because I can text and respond to stuff from my laptop (since I have an iPhone) and it’s logged into my iCloud account. I never had that option on my Windows computer.
What else?
Well, the Portland Rose Festival has kicked off. For the first time, we were able to take everyone down to see the fireworks for the opening night. It was fun! See below:
And finally, another change.
The kids recently destroyed our vacuum cleaner. I wasn’t thrilled by it, nor was Sky – and so for the past few weeks we have been using a dust buster rather than a regular vacuum (due to the cost). We changed that by getting this one from Costco. The last time we had a Dyson Arabella was so little. It makes the time seem like it’s going by so quickly sometimes…
Anyway, that was the newest change. Plus we figured our kids are animals 😉 so we got the Dyson ball animal.
What about the baby?
He is getting bigger each day (or it seems like it to us). Here is a photo we took of him in a onesie that P3 sent to the family after he was born. Cute photo for a cute kid.
Lastly… I have been treated in the last 2 weeks to two lunches at work. The first time was I was able to meet with the executive director and chat it up with her (which was pretty great – to be honest) and then we had a team event this week (pictured above, of the food). It has been odd to have any reason to meet up with anyone anywhere- after having been disconnected from others for so long as my last job.
The job? Is nice. I find myself enjoying what I’m doing. I know, I know – that’s crazy talk.
I must say it is pretty weird to have a job where you are treated like an actual adult. Like an equal. It isn’t something you think of I suppose, until it happens. It has been a slow fade for the last five years. But now? I’m talked to like an equal, not a less than. It’s something where I feel like… “hmm yeah I could get used to this.”
