Went to the new stadium the other day. My neighbor has season tickets and gave his tour tickets to us. It is a great place, but 726 million dollars? 3/4 of a billion!! I wonder what else that could have been used for. I am not going to get into that, it is done and the place was fun, although it seemed the corridors/halls were really crowded and the escalator going up to the cheap seats is going to be backed up alot. Other than that we had fun touring the locker rooms and playing on the sidelines.
It is now been 90 days or so since I was laid off. I had so many plans for this summer but realized most of those costs $ and that is something we do not have in abundance right now. we have had fun this summer and now that the family is back in school I will begin a full time search for a job. Do not get me wrong, I have been looking but not with too much concern. I have had a few interviews and leads but nothing has gone anywhere. Today I will spend cleaning the house and I think I will go for a bike ride. I need to lose weight. I am considering joining the National Guard but need to lose about 40 pounds first, good luck huh?
The boys are back in school. Josiah is now in middle school at Eastwood. I was a bit concerned about that while he was in 5th grade but he has handled the transition. We are just now overcoming the anxiety of the "big" school. Noah is in third grade and still at John Strange. They are both growing up so fast. They both went to camp this year and Josiah really made some changes while he was away from us. He is 12 now and he seemed like a little kid before he went to camp but came bach a young man. This summer I have seen some tremendous changes in him and it has been fun. We get to talk to each other on a different level now. He is starting to be concerned about how he is perceived and how he looks. He has tried to change some of the things he used to do. Peer pressure can be both negative and postitive and right now i think it is for the better.
