Packing

I've discovered it's one of my least favorite things
(Note the dead look in my eyes)

I mean it's great to clean and to see from a general level of chaos
come a certain amount of order.

Maybe it's just the moving all the boxes from Rexburg to San Antonio
and how much it will cost that is such a bother. The bees are all the contractors
that want to take my hunny, I mean munny. Our friends have come to help, Mike and Zak so far. Thanks again, guys!

But this is all for a good cause, I remind myself.

And, really, it is all because I got a job down in San Antonio.

Thank you for all your prayers and support, and thanks to USAA for hiring me!
Back to packing!

Graduation!

Yep, it's true: I'm all gradumicated, even if auto-correct indicates that is not a word. I have promptly stifled it's pleas with the "add to dictionary" button, forever and officially adding it to it's repertoire of useful, and more importantly fun, words.

But more important still, I am now a college graduate.

And yet more important than that, I have a job. Yes, a real 9-5 job down in San Antonio! Super excited. Because it means food, shelter, and better furniture!

But really, Stepheni and I are so grateful for the opportunity for work, especially in these economic times (cliche but true), and at such a wonderful company as USAA. We will have the means to invite baby Etienne into our family with food, shelter and insurance!

Graduation was a little late in coming, but I am glad that I took the path that I did. I managed to get a bunch of other random credits and fill out my education nicely. Could I go back, I would take more computer science classes and less entry-level science classes. But, as it is I am rather happy with my degree and the embellishments I accrued along the way.

I encourage everyone to get an education.
