Brand Spankin' New

New job that is.  My hubby started a new job two weeks ago.  His division of Boeing, Mission Planning, was sold off to another division of Boeing called Tapestry Software.  While no longer a direct Boeing employee, he is a Boeing "person" which has no meaning right now :)  Since his project is top secret and he works in a secure facility, the only thing that changes is the name on the paycheck.  There will be more changes in the next few years, including a possible move, but we aren't focusing on that right now.

In other spankin' new news, I have a new basement...er....sort of.  We decided to finish our basement.  I was thinking first of this year, but I was out voted.  Our house has been under construction since the start of December.  We were able to fix two other plumbing issues we have been having, so my house is chaos.  I have lost boxes of Christmas stuff and my tree is still up in the living room.  The contents of my laundry room are in my dining room.  I can eat and fold at the same time!!!!-sarcasm

Construction is moving along well.  I have been told I get walls this week, which is kind of exciting.  I am not-so-patiently waiting for my bathroom mirrors to show up so I can get the rest of the bathroom ready.  We only found one dead mouse while dismantling the wet bar, that we estimated to be 10 years old, eewwww.  It was in a trap and we have never set traps here, so it was from the previous owner, double eeewwww.  I won't post any pics, to keep you all in suspense...

Are those tumbleweeds...?

If I knew how to animate, I would animate tumbleweeds across the page :)  I thought I would stop by and give a small update on Dad.  He was hospitalized last week after a cardiac episode on the 6th.  He has some small amount of damage to his heart that can be controlled with medication.  The flip side of this is that he missed his MRI,(want to know why, message me and I will tell you), and has it rescheduled for next Monday, the 21.
