Another Update

The trip has been smooth after the 1st day. I spent a couple of days with Spurs & Napster, them spoiling me with many beverages and great food! We had a blast!

I then spent 4th of July with a friend in Austin on the lake, watching fireworks and drinking more adult beverages!

I am now at my parents in Kentucky. Good, quality time!

Today, I went with my dad and stepmom to a home owners association "meeting" (more like a gathering outside with hot dogs and kids running around).

As my dad was introducing me to his neighborhood, I then realized exactly how proud he was. He introduced me as his oldest daughter who is moving from Arizona and got a great job in Atlanta. He names the companies and what position I'm taking. He made sure everyone knew.

My dad is very hard to impress. He's worked hard all his life and continues to do so.

But as we went for a drive in the new car I purchased by myself and he praised the quality of the vehicle, and as he introduced me to all of these people who could care less what I was going to be doing....I realized just how proud he really is.

So, for every stupid mistake I have made, better decision that there could have been, or not doing things traditionally, there are still some things that I am doing right.

It's a relief!

So Sunday night I make the drive to Atlanta. The first week is packed full as I'm coming in during some dinners/meetings. (Great!). I then drive to my mothers for the weekend before my birthday, and then fly to Kansas City for a week with my new team.

I can't wait for things to settle...

Parents don't mind children making mistakes, because they know that's where growth comes from. Sure your dad's proud; you are a contributing, responsible citizen. Way-to-go!

By the way I hope the hot dogs were grilled differently than at Spur's place :-)

We are all proud of you sweetie! You did good and I hope your new position will give you less stress than your old position. And it's a bonus that you are moving to my hometown so when I visit my family I also get to see both you and Morrigan!!!

Wait a minute...you're actually going to be in Atlanta?! I'm emailing my cell number. I realize you're busy as hell but [a] just let me know if I can help out at all and [b] you are SO going to the fall Jawja blogfest. ;-)
