It’s been a while hasn’t it? Outside of the occasional Flickr picture and even rarer link, it’s been almost 6 months since I blogged properly. Must get back into it…
So what’s happened in those six months? Quite a lot! Last time out, I had a job and loved it, and Robyn was on a little sabbatical and my family were over at Christmas time which was fun all things considered. Then in mid February I was in New York on a little 3 day business trip which was nice, unfortunately the flight back wasn’t the greatest and I’ve vowed never to fly US Airways again if possible…
Then the weird stuff began. I was unceremoniously terminated at my job for, to be brutally honest here, petty bullshit taken completely out of context, which is neither here nor there now. So we sat in our fairly new house, both of us unemployed, shitting the proverbial brick or two. We usually have terrible luck but Robyn managed to bag a sweet contract job at Duke Energy for a month (she’s still there BTW, taking names and kicking ass) that made an obscene amount of money per hour. Then came the few weeks stretch where we got some #snOMG, including a visit from Jim Cantore…
In April we drove back to Atlanta to see old friends and also see Flight of the Conchords, great time. We really need to get back more than once a year. THEN came the bombshell that the USCIS was investigating my immigration petition, holding up the update of my green card, so we had to get a few signed affidavits from some fairly respectable people and sent in a stack of paperwork as thick as a phone book, thankfully everything got sorted and I’m back to being the legal kind of immigrant.
Then to celebrate my 31st and Robyn’s 30th (well, 99% Robyn’s 30th as we had my 31st celebrations at Robyn’s new lake house on the north end of Lake Norman) we went to Disneyland to take advantage of their birthday deals, surprisingly it was a cheap weekend as far as a Disney vacation is concerned. And to round things off, we queued with the nerdcore a couple of days ago for the launch of the iPhone 3G S, which I’m really liking. Robyn also got her old 3G replaced as it’s GPS abilities had died a few months ago, so we both have (more or less) new phones.
In playing with the new capabilities of the 3G S I took this video of Josie playing…
So that’s what’s been going on… Eventful but we’re still surviving and that’s all that matters in the end.
