Thanksgiving was interesting as always. This year since we have Gage, Terri set the boundary early that we would do one day with each family, so they should sign up now to choose which day. So, I went to my in-laws for Thanksgiving and tomorrow is reserved for my family. I find that there are drawbacks to the new system. If we aren't happy with the situation, we can't "claim" to have somewhere else to go. Oh well, I'll just have to be creative in getting out of these situations. We thought we might be able to use, "Well...we have to get home to put Gage to bed." Then, he went and took a two-hour nap. Thanks, kid. Although, given the choice of socializing with my in-laws or sleeping, I think he made the right choice. So, after the turkey coma begins to wear off, I'll be getting up tomorrow and doing it all over again. So far, this is the first "real" holiday since Gage was born (real holidays being those that are attached with familial obligations, ie, Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas). It hasn't been too bad. Christmas will be the real test I think. We're doing her family on Christmas Eve and mine on Christmas Day. I think her family will be the ones with the problems, but we'll see.
Anyway, that's about all for today. There are rumors that we're getting out soon and I don't want to jinx that.

It seems as though I'm always apologizing about not updating enough. This time, though, I think I have a legitimate excuse. I started a new job on Tuesday! This job actually pays me a decent salary as well being related to what I went to school for. It also has the benefit of putting me back into the hi-tech internet industry. All bonuses.
Things have progressed quickly with the job situation and I've been pretty busy getting acclimated and adjusted to the new responsibilities, actually doing work, and the new hours.
This weekend will also be an extremely busy one. Matt, Alison, and Nathan are coming in for a visit. It will be the first time that they've met Gage and the first time that we've met Nathan. Hopefully it will be a wonderful time for everyone. Although we might be asking for trouble, three kids under the age of 1. Scary times.
Wow, for 2 1/2 years at my last job I asked for a new computer. Never got one. Usually got laughed at or told the budget didn't stretch enough. Our department paid the bills for the entire university. The student computer lab got new computers four times in the same time frame. We couldn't even get their left-overs. I started here on Tuesday. I just happened to mention that my computer was a little slow. Wham, new computer on my desk Friday afternoon. Ok, they probably knew they were getting one anyway, but don't I feel special.
Ok, I'll certainly update more in the future, I have a lot of stuff left to blog about, but right now I'm just looking for the time. Hopefully with the holiday seasons coming up, I'll get some time to myself.
