Today is the 39 year anniversary of the shootings at Kent State and even though I was not born when it happened, I am quite aware of what happened and the circumstances. I have seen several documentaries and on the tragedy and it is quite heartbreaking. I cannot hear the date may 4th without thinking about what happened. My heart and prayers go out to all of the people and families who were involved in the massacre.
On a more happy subject, We are doing fine in Virginia. Rachel is growing more and more everyday. She adds words to her limited vocabulary on a weekly basis and she is just awesome. She likes to shout 'dadda' at the top of her lungs and gets sooo excited to me. It is a great feeling.
Rachel and Lisa usually leave as I am waking up in the morning. As the are getting ready, Rachel will run to my bedroom and push open the door looking for me. I hate to wake up. I truly hate the world the moment i am awakened. I have always been this way. I am mean and angry the first few minutes i wake up. But there is something about a happy giggly little girl screaming your name looking for you that seems to make mornings nicer.
Work is going ok for me. Sales are not what they were the last few years but it could be way worse. People are always building homes and the government is always building offices and buildings. As a result, I am way better off then some of my peers in other parts of the country. We had about 220 employees last week and that number is around 205 now. I am in no danger (job security is nice-knock on wood) of being let go but my company did get rid of some none essential / under-performing employees at the end of last week. That is always sad. but at the same time, almost every single one was a person in a department that was fully staffed and ,well, to be blunt, an idiot. But still, these are all people with families and they need to work to. So it is sad.
Here are some pictures of Rachel playing outside the last few days. She loves to be outside and gets mad and cries when you bring her back in the house.
