The past while...
Wow - almost 2 months since the last update. Well, update here, anyway...
Most of the updates these days are over on the Four Horse Haven site - pretty much our whole lives are wrapped into this place now, and the few things that aren't are usually posted there anyway. :-)
We've settled in well at this new place. The dogs love it here, the job is wonderful, and it's nice to be able to look out your backyard and see fields and mountains, rather than other backyards. :-) We're clearing away land and looking into fencing options next.
Work is fun -- I've been there nearly 4 months. Not long after my 3 month probation was up, I got a sort of promotion: I'm now a team lead of a team of 4 people (including myself). It was really gratifying, I'm enjoying the role and think I can make a difference there.
Lisa and Jessica went away this weekend to Toronto, to drop Jessica off at Ryerson for her first year at university. Scary, sad, happy, and exciting all at the same time.
As a result, I have a whole bunch of free time: I'm staying here looking after the dogs. To make things more interesting, it's raining off and on, so my default activity (clearing land with the grass blade on the weedwhacker) is off the agenda.
So I've done most of the things I've wanted to do for a long time off my list, and it's not even 3:30 on Saturday yet. :-) I'm not used to having so much free time. It's actually nice -- I might take a nap later -- but I'm not sure I'd want it every day like this. :-)
Anyway, as time goes forward, posts will still probably be focused on the house blog -- I just thought I'd pop in here and make a quick update.
