August reveiw

August was a very busy month.  I have been working two jobs for about a month now.  It’s stressful on me and my family and I am looking forward to when I am done writing this thesis and can concentrate on my new career at Life tech.  In the mean time I will quite literally [...]

When it all comes crashing down

Continuing on the theme of mountains and valleys.   Last week I submitted my paper, this week I received permission to write my thesis from my committee.  Basically, the committee believes my work and is ready to let me defend it.  Of course there is still some experiments to complete, but I should be done some [...]

In sickness…

Everyone got a cold last week.   It left Stacey and me on the edge of being well but not really.  AJ was getting better, then on Saturday the 101.5 fever hit.  After that it was all down hill.   AJ is on an antibiotic now, we are just starting to feel good.
I did get another run [...]

The job search

Well, I had two job interviews last week.  The first was with the Navy.  I liked everything they do and I liked the pay.   The problem is they expect me to be able to make diagnosis and run a clinic.  Niether of which I have any experience in.  Of course I could get a research [...]

Potty

AJ has started to ask to use the potty again.  Woo hoo.  He had stopped and actually acted scared of it for a while, but now he is asking and using it again.  Which is very cool.  Not in time for the cruise but still very good.  He also decided to through out his binkies.  [...]

MMVIII

Sure it wasn’t a great year.  But lets not pretend that nothing good came out of it.  Some awesome and bad things happened as is the case in all years.  So this is it, the year 2008 according to Paul.
 
January saw the fifteenth running of the Walt Disney World Marathon.  I completed the race in [...]

Happy Birthday Andrew Johann

Today is AJ’s Birthday.  He is such a cool little kid.

December 25th, 2008

I ran a mile with Bradley while Stacey got AJ ready for the arrival of Grandparents.  It was a nice mile in beautiful 42 degree weather.  Brad kept trying to cut me off to pee.  Other then that it was awesome.  I arrived back in time for warm and yummy cinnamon buns provided by our [...]

Family time

I picked up Lidia from Gannon.  It was a hectic Journey which took two attempts because of the insane amount of snow we have gotten over the last three days.  We have about two feet on the ground.  Now the winds are making drifts so it is getting hard to tell how much we have.  [...]

Day care woes

We have a good daycare.  They take great care of AJ.  But we keep running into problems.  Sure, daycare isn’t going to raise your kid exactly like you want them to be raised.  Only staying home and doing it yourself will do that.  So I am trying to keep my cool about most things and [...]
