I was recently hired by Boeing as an aircraft electrician. It's not exactly like what I did in the military. When I was in, I fixed parts of aircraft, far from the flightline. This time around, I'll be climbing up into airplanes and actually working on them. That is what I wanted to do in the military, but I had little choice in the matter.
I'm really excited about this job. It has a great starting salary and some awesome benefits. It will also be nice to be around adults again. The stay-at-home parents know what I'm talking about.
I've already started to miss my girls a painful amount. After being given the most important job in the world, it's tough to let go, but honestly, they're getting so big that they don't need me anymore. They need to get out and start meeting other kids. It's about time the world learned how awesome they are, no?
Belle is getting near three-and-a-half now, going on thirty-five. She's still the boss of the world and getting funnier everyday. She also loves to sing and make up songs. She's getting pretty darn good, but when you try to talk with her about it, she gets really shy.
Aurora finally has some hair. She's definitely not bald anymore. She's so big, but she still likes to pretend that she is our baby sometimes. She's two years and two months old, but she talks like a spoiled teenager. The only real difference, as I see it, is that she mumbles less than a teenager would. She has excellent elocution, and is very particular about pronouncing things right. She can get moody now and again, but most of the time she just loves to have fun.
Sarah is a butt and no one likes her. Actually, she's doing great. She's having a lot of fun in her classes and she's looking forward to going to Grad School at UW. She wants to get a bunch of Master's Degrees and then be in charge of something creative and make lots of money. I think I'll just tag along.
Well, I've a lot more packing to do, and I'd be surprised if anyone ever read this far, so I'll sign off. I'll try to write in here more often, because I do enjoy reading everyone else's blogs when I remember to. Thanks for reading, and have a great Halloween, everyone.
