166 days...

That's how long it's been since my last post. And let me tell you, A LOT has happened. I won't be writing about everything in this post, but I will be making a list of things that have happened, and then over time writing about them. So here we go...

I will put these in chronological order, starting with the oldest and working to the newest...

1. I started a new job
2. Got accepted to grad school
3. My brother started college
4. We went to Las Vegas
5. I started guitar lessons
6. We went to Chicago
7. I went dove hunting in Mexico
8. THE CARDINALS WON THE WORLD SERIES!!!!!!
9. Mid-term elections/Britney files for divorce from K-fed (happened on the same day, i know, what a day)

Those are the major things, I'm sure there are things in between those that are worthy of my mentioning, but I can't think that far back right now.

I'll start with my new job for today. June 9th was my first day at The Boeing Company. I was hired on as an Engineer/Scientist. Ooooh, fancy. For the record, I am now a Systems Engineer due to the recent reorganization of the company structure. Man was I excited to get on at Boeing. I had been trying for 2 and a half years to get on there. I finally did. Coming from a company of 4 people to a company of 15,000+ (that's just in St. Louis. Worldwide, Boeing has 150,000+ employees) took a little adjusting, but I am doing just fine. And just so you know, I won't be talking about my job much because I'm not supposed to do that, I don't want to divulge company secrets :). They have nice benefits, which brings me to my next point, my acceptance to grad school.

Boeing pays for 100% of tuition if you choose to go back to school, so I took the GMAT and applied to Washington University for the Professional MBA program. It starts in January and lasts for 3 years. I will graduate with an MBA and an MIM (Master's of Information Management, it's with the Engineering School). I am pretty excited for all of this, it's quite a change.

I think that is good for today. Speaking of today, I tried to give blood and was defered because of my hunting trip to Mexico, I guess I could be carrying Malaria. Yeesh. It's possible that I won't be able to give blood for the next year. That's a long time, thanks alot Mexico.

I will be headed out this weekend to kill me a deer. It's very Neaderthal of me, killing a deer to provide for my family. Heck, it's so easy a caveman could do it.



Hopefully I get one, because the meat lasts us for a very long time.

Ok, that is all for now. I'm going to stop posting a link at the end of every post. Instead, I'll post a picture. Enjoy.
