Nearing five months

Funny how time flies. Yesterday, my brother-in-law set off to Utah in order to prepare himself further to be a missionary in the Rosario, Argentina Mission. Won't see him for two years, and knowing my luck we won't get any mail from him for two months.

Mind you, the fact that our address is going to change doesn't help much. It wouldn't be a problem if we were going to relocate to the Tolley home, which we were toying with for some time, but something inside me screamed that living with your in-laws is the worst thing you can do for the health of your family. Emergency conditions aside, it is best to have your own homes. So as of 1 August, 2007, the Clarks will be in Millwoods. I don't know if we are going to move everything in one day, but we do get to take possesion of our basement suite that day. I really hope that we get more time, because I'm going to be streched thin with my new job as it is.

Oh, another thing I've been quiet about! My job oppurtunity with Telus! I had the interview yesterday, and they were checking references today. My application has not been completely processed, but I have been informed that the training will start July 31, 2007, and continue for 10 days. Or maybe it was eight. All I know is that I get the long weekend off. I really hope that this works out because I put in my two weeks notice at work yesterday. Hence, upon condition that I get this job, I will be working on the day we will be moving. I sense trouble. Why do this to myself you ask? Because I don't know exactly when the next hiring will take place for the position I applied. Possibly September or October, but I want to get on board now. I am putting a lot on the line here, because I also put in my two weeks notice already.

On a happier note, and more in tone with the subject of the blog, Rini has started eating solids. She has taken a liking to squash, proving that you can never know what your children are going to be like. Starting small, she only takes four or five spoonfuls at a time. She does like it though, and by "like" I mean she hasn't spit it out! Some of it winds up on her lips, due to the fact that she has yet to master the finesse of using your tongue to swallow, rather than lick stuff, like daddy's head.

That's a story for another day though. Mommy and daddy need sleepy time.

Been there done that and you are absolutely correct.
