HOLY APARTMENT BATMAN

A few months ago I received a letter from the apartment complex stating that they had contracted out a company to update the plumbing system.  Just before my last trip home I got another letter stating that my complex was next on the list to start.  So before I headed home I had to move about half of my apartment out of harms way for the updates.  Well I came home last night to find about 10 huge holes in the walls and ceilings thoughout the apartment.  I do have to say with as much work as they did yesterday they left my apartment in very good shape and I was able to function without to much problem last night and this morning.  Hopefully by the weekend it will all be complete.

FINDING A COLLEGE

Well I thought I had finally nailed down the college of choice (Reinhardt University) but once I signed up for some classes and started to look at the total cost of going there, Jodi and I have had second thoughts.  So with that said it looks like this coming semester I will be taking a few classes online at Macomb.  I have found another college that sounds really good and in fact was the first school that caught my eye when I started looking (Kennesaw State).  They are the third largest school in Georgia and seem to have a really good business program.  So I will be going there to see what steps to take next.  The most important thing is they are a lot cheaper being a State college.

IT SURE DOESN’T FEEL LIKE CHRISTMAS

The temparture today is suppose to be around 70 degrees and continue that way for the weekend and into early next week.  That is the good side the bad side is Georgia doesn’t seem to have the same flavor of X-Mas spirit in the air.  In my trips home over the past couple of weeks, there is a buzz in the air and you can feel the holidays are near.  There is holiday music everywhere, lights and decorations as far as the eye can see and the weather to go along.  So I am adding the lack of feeling like Christmas to my things that I miss about home. 

THE REASON I AM HERE

As for the job down here all seems to be going good.  We are getting a lot of things taken care of and my team continues to work with me and accept the changes that are being made.  I have had some issues with my boss in getting him to engage with me and help move things along so I have had to change my approach with him which seems to be working.  I got invited to a luncheon yesterday that was put on by our sales team which was very nice.  This branch seems to do a very good job and showing their apperication for it’s employees.  I just hope that holds true when it comes time for pay raises.

JODI THE AWESOME MOM

As Jodi is left to handle Braylen all by herself she continues to do an AWESOME job.  When I come home each time I can see that Braylen continues to learn new things including his manners.  I’m amazed at the stuff that comes out of his mouth and when I ask Jodi about it, she always says that she has been working with him.  This is such a critical time in Braylen’s life to learn values and start paving the way to being a great kid.  I can say that Jodi is keeping him on track and I feel very confident that she will continue to do a wonderful job.  THANKS SWEETIE YOU ARE TRULY A GREAT MOM.
