Six Months...

It's weird to think that my mother has been gone for six months. It seems to have slipped past me without my noticing. I did everything I could to stay busy, because being busy helped. I had some moments that were difficult, but it was never more than moments. In fact, it seems that the miracles we experienced as a family after my mother passed are still happening all around.

We are adding a beautiful new sister in a few months. Dustin finally found a girl good enough for him, that was deserving of the approval given by my sisters and me. Emily is set to officially join the family in August. Emily rocks!!! She already fits right in and can hold her own against the unstoppable force known as Karrah.

Speaking of Karrah, she is a busy little bee. She always amazes me with her chameleon like qualities. She's set to star in yet another Hillcrest Drama Production. This time as Audrey in Little Shoppe of Horrors. She's excited about it, especially because one of her good friends is starring opposite of her.

Whitney is keeping busy with school. She's pulling good grades, working 25 hours a week, and maintaining a social life. She enjoys hanging out with her boyfriend, Chris, who's been her good friend for more years than I can really remember. I'm lucky that I get to see her everyday. We now work at the same location for Petersen Medical.

Which brings me to the promotion that I got at the beginning of the year. I've only been with the company for 10 months, but they thought that I'd do a good job as a Central Purchaser for the company. I'm excited by the new job, but daunted by it as well. Currently, I'm working on what we lovingly call the Inventory Reformation Project. Its a big job, but I'm glad I'm the one working on it. I know that it'll get taken care of correctly. We're hoping to have the actual purchasing part of it up and running in a few months.

Outside of work, my life is pretty boring. I try to stay up with all of my friends. That can be kind of difficult as we're spread all over the world. Angela and I are still pretty tight, but she's abandoned me again. She's back in Shelley again, and is trying to get a job with the Foreign Services. So, she could be leaving for some exotic location, but hey, then I'll have another place to visit some day. The other person I talk to most is Pablo. He's currently living in the Philippenes. Working away. He was an insta-friend when I met him a couple of years ago, and its fun keeping in touch with him. He knows how to make me laugh. It sucks he's so far away, but that's what makes technology so great. He's on the other side of the world, but we still seem to communicate, in some way, nearly everyday. Gotta love Facebook for that, and for keeping track of everyone else. It's always amusing to find some long lost friend online.
