Ryan's traveling

We love Ryan's new job. He likes the people and he likes the actual work. I like having benefits and the security of a large company. However, we may differ in opinion on one thing. His job involves traveling, which I was not aware of. His first trip is next week for three days to Richmond, VA. The timing is good because the boys and I are on break for the week, so I don't have to get babysitters while I work. The bad news isn't even that I will be alone for 3 days, which is bad. The part I don't like is that he gets to travel and see new things without me. I'm sure it will be all business and he won't get to sight see, but I have never been to VA and I would love to go new places. I am happy for him and that he gets to go and I keep it in the back of my mind that someday we could be transferred somewhere and I would love that. Say a prayer for safe travels for Ryan and sanity for me. I'll be alone with the boys for 3 full days, can you say pizza!?

New Job for Ryan

Such a busy day for everyone, but I won't even go there. The news of the day is that Ryan put in his two week notice today!! He accepted an offer last week from here! He even has a big fancy title and he will start on Oct. 1st. No raise, but better benefits. Also, he will take the bus from the park and ride to downtown St. Paul. However part of our busy day today was that our car died on us and we are sick of putting money into it. So, he has no car to drive to the last two weeks of work and nothing to park at the park and ride. We are going car shopping tomorrow I guess.
