Long Time

It has been a while since I posted anything here.  It has been an extremely busy time for me and my wife.  Of course, getting ready for the upcoming holidays and trying to figure out how we can see both families.

The other big thing is trying to get all of the work finished that needs to be completed before Christmas.  The guy that I am helping remodel some houses, have sold two of them and rented one of them.  So we are in a hurry to finish those houses as soon as possible (or faster than we would want to).  Many of you know that I am working as an electrician on the 6 Oakwood Shotgun House remodels, working for an old friend of mine.  However, through good quotes, I have recently won 4 fence projects, another electrical project and also a big General Contracting job.  There has been a lot of work done and planned in the recent couple of weeks.  

However I am looking forward to the holiday season.  For many reasons, the main one being this was the time that my savior was born, this is always a great time and I can never tired of hearing the story of the birth of Jesus Christ.  Call me a kid with that story, but I am.  However the other reasons are the fact that I can buy gifts for people that I care about and they don't tell me, "you shouldn't have."  I like this season because I make an extra effort to slow down, to hang out with friends more and to talk to my extended family more.  

So, with the extremely busy and fast life I have right now.  I am looking forward to the next month or so, cause of the effort that I make to slow down and make sure I understand what is the true meaning of the season.

P.S. Here is a link to the Oakwood houses that I am working on.

Moving

So, as some of you may know, Dana and I are moving to Austin, Texas.  We are looking forward to moving but are going to hate moving away from some of our friends and family.

Just kidding, we are not moving to Texas even though I think we would if we had a chance.  We are moving, we are moving downtown.  We have really been wanting to move downtown and we finally found a place that we like and can afford.  We feel sometimes like we are soo far away from a lot of our friends that we miss out on stuff.  Anyway, we are looking forward to it.

Places that are going to be close to our new apartment (besides most of our friends)  Woody's Sports Bar, Rum Runners Piano Bar, Tir-Na-Nog(sp?) Irish Pud, The Flying Saucer, Raleigh Times (have not tried this place but people say that it is awesome), and of course El Rodeo-Downtown.  So, I guess at least our lives will consist of Mexican food and beer, what more can you ask for.
