Well, it’s been a couple weeks since I started my new job, and even longer since I wrote my last real blog post. The new job has been fun, with a few new challenges, and lots of new software to learn about. We had rented a small house originally that turned out to be a bust. The landlords don’t keep the place up real well, and aren’t too picky about who they let in, so it had a lovely cigarette smoke smell, and several other quirks here and there. At any rate, they were gracious enough to let us out of the lease, since our eyes were burning, and my wife wasn’t even able to spend the night there due to associated sinus problems.
Since then, things have been looking up. Amanda got a job at a flower shop last week, and today was her first day. We also received an offer on our house, which puts us in the same boat as my cousin, oddly enough. It was kind of funny to read her post, and say, hey, me too! At any rate, it’s very encouraging to have received an offer on the house, and there has been a lot more interest in it than we really expected, which is very nice.
