True Blue

I can't believe it's taken me even a couple days to write about one of the most exciting new events in our lives, but there you have it...

Michael started his NEW JOB this past Monday. He will be a salesman for ADT. I could be wrong about this, so don't quote me, but I think that ADT is the largest security company in the USA by a long shot, biggest then the next six combined. Needless to say, this is the largest company Mike has ever worked for. So far, it's been a lot of paperwork, training and boredom. He's spent almost his entire first days in front of a computer, doing online training. Sounds like a good time to me. However, this should be over by the end of this week, and then onward and upward! Actually, we're not quite sure what even next week will look like, considering he's supposed to, at some point, fly out to Colorado for two weeks for additional training. Apparently, the only scheduled training session started this past Monday, and they don't have the next one on the calendar yet, so we're kind of in waiting mode. We're used to that position by now, but that doesn't make it much easier. Plus, I want to fly out to Pasadena while he's gone, so I've got to get a ticket. :) I know... selfish.

However, we're so grateful that Mike's back to work. And it's been pretty fun here on the homefront, too, getting back to "normal." Riley and I are enjoying our time together. We've gone grocery shopping and outlet mall shopping for some schnazzy new shirts and ties for Daddy; we played in the sand with Robbie, and today, we think we might head over to Borders to check out the children's books section. What an exciting life we lead!

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers as we've been on the job hunt. God has provided richly for us, as He always does.
