So you would think that life would slow down a bit as you get older (because I'm so old!! ha ha) but I have discovered how wrong that is! People have asked me what Joe and I are up to these days and I have to stop and think of what to tell them first!!
Joe is doing really well at work. He works for an accounting firm here in Vegas and he is the "Assistant MIS Director" (computers). He has been working toward getting his computer certifications and recently completed his MCSA. With his new found skills, he also recently finished putting together a computer system for his brother's accounting firm. Smarty Pants!!! He really knows a lot about computers, which blows me away because I do email...and blogs. I have decided that computers don't really like me much but all Joe has to do is look at them and they will do exactly what he wants them to do. It's a gift.
I have been enjoying my job as well. I am the administrative assistant at an investment firm here in Vegas. My job includes everything from assisting with trades to installing Quickbooks, to taking care of the bosses dog while she is out of town. Anyone who knows me will know that this is the perfect thing for me because I like doing diverse things. ADD perhaps??
Joe and I recently made a trip to the Grand Canyon. It was Joe's first time there and it was sooo beautiful!!! We decided to make it a day trip so we got up early and drove the 4 hours out to the south rim and hiked for a while. The Grand Canyon amazes me every time I see it because it doesn't look real. It's so amazing!!
Joe is still discovering the beauties of the West. I guess Florida is pretty flat and doesn't have much elevation change...so the mountains really amaze him. We are planning on going to Florida in August so he can show me the beauties of the BEACH!!! I'm quite sure I will be miserable...
Our most recent excitement is the purchase of our very own house!!! We have been spending the last few days scrubbing baseboards, stretching carpet, mopping, etc. I don't think we ever thought we'd be able to afford a house here in Vegas because they were so expensive, but the recession worked out for us because it gave us this opportunity. We feel so blessed!!
