New Beginnings!!

Well... this is our first of many "bloggings". Since we are constantly on the go and so many new things are happening in our lives, we thought that this would be a great way to keep our family and friends updated!

Here's a little recap of things you may have missed over the last several months...

Carolyn
Many changes on the career front for me this year. I completed real estate school in February of '08, and absolutely loved the experience. I still need to take my state exam and get licensed (before I forget everything I learned!), but I plan to list my license as inactive for the time being. In such an uncertain economy and weak real estate market, I felt that the timing was just not right to become self employed. It is definitely something I hope to pursue in the future, but that venture has been put on hold as of right now.
In March, I was offered a Sales Assistant position for a mortgage company, which is mainly what my professional backround consists of. It was a great learning experience, and I loved my co-workers, however it was 100% commission based, and with the country's current mortgage crisis, it simply did not turn out to be what I had expected.
About that time, a position opened up at my dad's company, and for the sake of stability and helping out the family business, I decided to accept the challenge. I'm really enjoying working with my dad and sister, and I'm hoping that some of my dad's good business sense will rub off on me!


Bryan
Great news on the career front for Bryan. He just started a new job in August that he is absolutely loving. He now works for RB Landscape and Turf and delivers sod to new developments. The best part is....he is HOME EVERY NIGHT! This is huge for us, and something that we have been working on for a long time. It's also very new to us because for basically our entire relationship Bryan has traveled for work more than he has been home. But, it is wonderful, and we are loving being able to do "normal" things like watch TV together during the week. It's definitely a nice change!

Stayed tuned for some exciting news!
