Long time no talk...

Just a quick post... I havent forgot about our site... Or our blog, things have just been really busy both at home and at work. All is well and i will be back to posting soon. (Not that anyone really reads this blog anyway)

Melina's Birthday

Be sure to check out our Events page on our main site for details and pics of Melina's birthday at Emerald Downs!

Update

As probably noticed... there hasnt been alot of new posts on our site or blog recently. This is due to the crazy last month or so...but now things are somewhat back to normal and i will try to keep up on the web now. As an update... Melina and I are doing good. I took a new job and love it. One of my friends from a long time ago owns his own "franchise" Sprint stores and he opened a new one in Federal Way. He asked me to come on board and manage it. Its alot more rewarding enviornment and great to work for people who honestly care and respect what you do. Melina is still at JayRay and she loves it more than ever. She's been getting more and more responsibliity and has her own clients. She is leaving Friday to Spokane for a few days to conduct a meeting with one of her credit union clients.

Braeden is doing well. He is wrapping up the school year and is growing up fast. Sometimes i forget that im talking to a 4 year old. He is reading and writing and is so well mannered.

We are back in an apartment and that is actually going good. Its a nice set up and other than having to take the dogs out on a leash... i actually like it better than our last house.

Melina's Birthday was Friday and on Saturday we had a party at Emerald Downs. There was 17 of us and we all had a great time. I was down about 50 bucks but on the 9th race i went on a long shot that ended up being a 195 dollar winner. Not bad for a $10 bet! Alot of us actually walked out with more money than we walked in with and that is always a good thing.

Finally, I won a trip to Vegas from the radio and Melina and I will be heading to Sin City for a couple days next month. Free trips are always good... and we love Vegas. Oh and... in September Melina's dad is getting married in Hawaii... so we get to spend a week there too! :)

Stay tuned for pics of Melina's birthday and other new stuff going on!

The Dust Is Starting to Settle...

It has been close to a month now since i have updated our full site or made a post on here. As most of you know this is due to the fact Melina and I were in the process of purchasing a new house. However... what most of you dont know is at the last minute we decided to opt out. We experienced so many issues with our purchase... from the roof having to be replaced... to a seller who didnt care much about helping at the beginning... and then was a complete jerk at the end... and on and on and on. With so many things going bad, we thought that maybe it was a sign that we shouldnt move forward with it. Just because its such a great time to buy right now... doesnt mean its the "right time" for us to buy. With our original closing date March 25th, we had told our lanlord we would be all moved out on the 31st. The closing date kept getting pushed back and we ended up "homeless" at the end of the month. We moved ALL of our stuff into a friends garage and were staying at another friends house. Once we decided to not complete the purchase of the house... I found an apartment and we moved in last thursday. So after 2 weeks... we now have an actual address! :-) We have a 3 bedroom apartment that is not to far from where we lived before. Its a nice apartment and this will give us a chance to save some money and pay off some other things and try the whole "house buying" thing in a few years.

On the subject of new news... I left Sprint this last week as well. One of my friends owns his own Sprint stores (they look just like a regular corporate store, but they are ran and operated by him) He is going to be opening a new store in the next few weeks and i will be running that store. Its a real exciting opportunity to work with the same 'product' that i have... but in an enviornment that is alot more comfortable and allows for more productivity.

So... as you can see, there is a good reason as to my lack of posts/updates but I will be back to my normal self soon. We are still trying to unpack and set up our new place... and i have a ton of new systems to learn for work... but hopefully I/we will be back to normal soon!
