Enjoying Life

Well the move was a success. We had some help as my friend Kevin did a lot of the heavy lifting with me and freed Angie up to do more of the kitchen and box packing, etc. We did the whole house in about 8 hours and then it took us all of 2.5 days to get everything unpacked.

 

The house is gorgeous! We honestly sit on the pool deck almost daily and say “Can you believe we live here?” It is very gratifying that although it was shaky at times, we stuck with it and did not burn any bridges. Living in this home is very exciting for us as it gives us a great place to entertain guests and take pride in our home.

 

Things for Angie have been going very good. She was granted a contract with the Osceola county school system so she is guaranteed a teaching job in the fall of this year. She also has completed all of her degree requirements for her master’s degree and she should be getting that sometime within the next month or so. It is very exciting for both of us as I know how hard she has worked and seen all the long hours with her staying up late to get things finished.

 

I continually get encouraging words about joining Lockheed Martin this fall. I have had several meetings with my boss and his boss and things look very promising. I should be able to get a good position right here in Orlando with a significant pay raise.

 

Music is going good as well. I have completed 9 tracks on my quest to make an original cd. I have also found a buyer for my turntables and will be parting with them in June of this year. I have moved to playing all digital tracks on cdjs. It is so much more efficient and affordable. I should have done it a long time ago.

Chapter Closed, Exciting One Beginning

I'm the kind of person that likes to really emphasize the changes that we
go through in life. Since I can remember, I have made a big deal about
things that represent new beginnings or ends to current ways of living.
This week marks one of those changes as we move into our new house in 4
days.

It took a lot for me to get to where I am. I had to realize that living in
my hometown was not healthy for me. I had to realize that trying to have
all the answers for someone and enabling them to be dependant is not a
good relationship. I had to learn financial responsibility. Over the past
12 months I hope that I've learned or at least started to learn most of
these lessons. In a lot of ways I've really grown up since moving to
Orlando in Feb of 2005.

Now, in just a few days, Angie and I will make our first home together.
Without a doubt it will be the nicest home I've ever been able to call my
own. It will be something that we are proud to show off, and will decorate
with excitement and love. After a long time of being unsure in many areas
of my life, I am starting to come to grips with the kind of person I
envision myself being in the future. Now by no means do I have any of it
figured out yet, but I am very happy and have been for quite a while now.
As soon as I started being honest with myself and listening to what I
really wanted out of life, things got better.

And as we embark on another phase of our life together, I see nothing but
happiness and success in our future. Sure there will be bumps in the road,
but Angie is the kind of person you meet once in your life. We have a
great opportunity to do some really neat stuff together in the next few
months. It will be exciting for us to share in these new memories
together.

As always there will be plenty of pictures for you all to see...
