We came home from our vacation on Saturday morning to 60 degree temperatures! Making our transition from southern warmth to northern winter much easier. Tonight we are in the process of having a thunderstorm...weird.
Going back to work today wasn't too bad. Mark starts his new 'winter' job tomorrow night. He will be trucking mail from here to Indianapolis Tuesday through Saturday night from 10 PM until around 6 am, he's guaranteed 9 hours and a very good rate of pay. I am very relieved as construction has been awful so his 'real' job has been slow then early layoff. We shall see what the spring brings as far as his other job is concerned. For now this is perfect. He worked for this company before and they love his work ethic so they were eager to give him this sweet run. It is coveted by other employees, as it has two days off in a row. But many of them don't come to work or milk the clock and get too much overtime. He'll be on nights but I am in and out all day and we have lived under worse work arrangements.
The vacation was great, much beach time and site seeing...I have lots of pictures to share. I missed the J-land reunion and am very bummed about that. But the family was being sort of a pain, each wanted to do their own thing and not enough time so I did not get to visit much. We will return next year during break. My father is fine health wise, but my step mom who is much younger misses just having someone around who likes to do touristy things. But the trip accomplished what I wanted, beach, dad and rest.
I am still trying to catch up on things.....which is normal for me.
In the meantime Christmas with the boys....
Jacob was very unhappy with the lack of toys for gifts, Dakota had to be bribed with a Hershey's kiss to smile and Dayton was just his normal happy baby self...
more handsome boys!
