Unintentional GPP

I went over to my parents house yesterday because my Dad needed a hand. So I showed up to their house to find a 6 ton pile of gravel a shovel and a wheelbarrow. For the next three hours I shoveled and wheeled, shoveled and wheeled.

I didn't know what I was in for but after all this time I should have known better.

Training and stuff

I haven't posted anything in a awhile because life has been a bit nuts this week. First off everybody is freaking about the move, parents, friends, clients/friends and the whole rest of the world. You forget how many people are involved in your life until something like this goes down. I'm really shocked at how many people are effected by decisions that are made in my life. I knew this was going to be tough but holy cow!

I have been lucky in the last 11 years to have trained and become close with so many great people. They have all shaped my life and career in one way or another and I thank all of you for that. Change is a very scary thing and this was a very hard decision for me to make. I know that if Jen and I don't do this I will always wonder WHAT IF? On the flip side now everybody has a good reason to fly out to California.
