VBS for Emilie, Studying for Steve

All week Emilie is volunteering at Vacation Bible School at South Park. She is a story teller. So she gets to tell fun Bible stories to all the little kids that come to VBS (or at least all the 2nd grader i think). She seems to be enjoying it and I get to enjoy some time at home with max and my Real Estate book.

Two weeks ago I registered for a online Brokers exam. This is composed of 5 courses that i need to study up on and then take 10 quizes, and 1 final per course. Follow that all up with a state exam that is no picnic. Hopefully once this is complete though it will be a big boost for me at work and open some doors as well.. It is something I have been considering but just didn't have the time to work on. All that changed back in January.

In January my boss and company president for the last 25+ years decided that he wasn't going to take over the company as was planned. With that, a decision was also made for him to move onto other endeavors. With his exit in march, our company also exited the Residential Management. This composed of about 50% of our work portfolio. Needless to say there have been a lot of changes and staff reduction, but I think we will emerge as a better stronger and more efficient company. That being said my job has changed a little bit, but life is better overall as all the emergency calls and stress that I experienced was 95% caused by the Residential work we did. With that gone I have begun to enjoy my job quite a bit more. On top of that, Emilie even likes my job again.

I thought i would throw out some pictures that I had not yet had a chance to upload prior to this. Some from our anniversary, Minnesota and fishing at the Wolf River, notice there are no pictures of fish (funny how that happens)










Yes this is my boss who I was playing bags with.
