DJ / 2 Years Ago

Lots of things going on...
Kelley's new job moved us to Peoria, Illinois about a month ago. Our house is big and sweet and mostly set up and unpacked now. The town is small with virtually no traffic which is a nice change from San Antonio. The only thing I don't like about the change is that I miss our pool. I loved having a pool. Maybe we'll have one someday again, but it is going to be a minute. Peoria overall is great, and I think we'll be happy here.

That job I had lined up at Liberty Mutual lasted about 6 months before it was eliminated in a major restructuring at the company. Far from being sad about it, I am relieved, as I feel like I needed more of a break after 26 years in the military. So now, I am going to work on my game, Awesome Theory Idle, and projects around the house until maybe January and then we'll see where my head is at.

Whew, it has been a bonkers year so far but it looks like things are slowing down, finally. Time to take a breath and enjoy life.

    Things never go the way you think
    It is hard to believe that the last time I posted, nearly 16 months ago, life was so vastly different. We had just moved to Peoria... and now we've been gone from Peoria for 9 months! Just 40 days after I was let go by Liberty Mutual, Kelley was let go by Caterpillar. That led to some dark months

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. - Hebrews 11:6 NIV
