June ‘08 Wrap up.

Obviously it’s been a while since we’ve updated this page. There is a lot going on in our lives right now and that means the blog has taken a back seat. Both our personal and work lives have become a little more stressful and we are currently trying to figure out how to manage the situation for what is best for our family. However, we do want to keep you updated on what’s been going on so here is a review of June 2008.

June 1 – 11

Not a whole lot going on these first days of June for us. We finished watching the climactic 3rd season of Battlestar Galactica – if you’re not watching it you’re missing out. Jen’s been out of work since mid May and has been looking since the beginning of March if that tells you anything about the state of the job market here in Tampa. It’s pretty bad, so please pray that she will find a great full time job. Oh, and the weather is just hot.
