Hello all!
I'm just letting you know that I'm probably not going to be aroundmuch. James and I are pretty much having our lives turnedupside down- mostly in a good way. I start a new job onSunday. I finally got a job in a place where I actually wantto live, instead of in the middle of Milwaukee. The drivetime, ghettos, and basic big city yuckiness were getting tome. James will be starting a new job too, but it's only parttime so he will be working three different part-time jobs at the sametime. Oh, and my job is 12 hour long 3rd shift. SoI'll have more days off, but when I work I'll come home dead to theworld.
Now that I'm working in an area where I want to be, James and I arebuying a house. I'm so excited! We close (get thekeys) on December 30th, so it's like a late Christmas/ early birthdaypresent for me. We were planning on waiting till spring so wecould have a bigger down payment, but this was too good to passup. So we are, as James says, going to be "college poor" inJanuary from paying rent and mortgage at the same time. Andthe buns will finally be able to play with us in the living room,making it so much easier for us to spend time with them. Ifwe can get them completely bonded, we might try letting them have therun of their bedroom while we're not home and letting them play in theliving room while we are home.
The beasties are all doing well. They're a little frustatedbecause I haven't had as much time for them lately. I'm goingto start bonding all four of them together sometime in the next week ortwo. House stuff, gun deer season, and Thanksgiving have allcombined to prevent me from starting yet. James is, as Itype, out hunting with his family on his dad's farm. I'drather just eat it, thank you very much.
