A lot is happening, but not much worth posting...
Life has been really busy, but it is hard to make it interesting enough to post. Here are a few notes nevertheless.
Volleyball Season came and went. I had a lively bunch of girls that made a pretty good team, but we had an ok season. I don't have stats, but we were right around 50% on our win:loss record. The important thing is that I am pretty sure that the girls had fun.
Celeste had a birthday last week and we celebrated yesterday. It was a low key day with all of the kids around. We helped her do some work around the house, played some games, saw a movie (Night at the Museum 2).
Work is busy, but not overly so. My European customers are getting ready for the July/August vacation season. They sure seem to have the right idea about vacation time over there! Even the newest employees get somewhere around 3 weeks of vacation per year plus a ton of holidays.
I took a day trip to Arizona last week to see a customer. That trip reminded me that I am very lopsided on my international vs domestic travel. In the past 2 years I have travelled to 2 US customers (Arizona, Texas) and a whole bunch of international customers. For the foreseeable future, that will remain the same. My next planned trip is to Finland in September. The international travel has been an interesting turn in my career. It takes extra travel time that would have been much more difficult when the kids were younger. I have enjoyed the chance to see some parts of the world that I would not otherwise get to.
School gets out next week for the girls. Hayley gets out a day early since the 7th graders start a day early for orientation to the new school (7th grade is the start of Middle School here). That means helping with final homework and studying for finals. However, it also means that my mornings will be my own again instead of helping get ready and driving kids to school!
I'll try to dig up some interesting stuff (at least stuff that I find more interesting) next time.
