So, I’ve been ridiculously busy as of late and haven’t had the time to sit down properly and update.

• K took our friend’s death really well; he was most concerned about our friend’s children who don’t have their Daddy anymore. He wanted to attend the funeral, and it was his first. I was absolutely gone that day; can’t remember much of it and I wasn’t even drinking. It was a lovely service and my Friend would have loved the fact that we tried to wear his favorite football team colors.
• On the drive home from the funeral K decided it was an awesome time to ask ever so innocently “So, Dad, when you were born a girl… what was it like? What was the hardest thing?” – Fuck! Okay, let’s do this. I answered honestly and although I felt I did a half-assed job, my Wife said I did brilliantly.
• My Family is moving to a rural area; my Wife applied for a great job “just to see” and she got it immediately. We’ve decided she should take it, rent in the town for six or so months and then we will buy a house and land.
• K is excited; his four cousins, Aunt and Uncle as well as Grandmother currently live in this small town. He’s upset at having to leave his friends here but we’ve set up some packs for his friends including Self Addressed Stamped Envelopes, his Email address, his Phone number, his Xbox Live Gamertag, Skype login and Steam username. This way his friends can still contact him.
• I have one semester of my current degree to go, which equates to approximately 13 weeks of attendance. I will be staying here to finish my degree, renting with a friend in a house he owns. It’s going to be one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do, but it means realizing our dream of owning a house. I’m also doing a little over a full course load to finish in one semester, so I’ll be fucking busy.
• K is most excited about the prospect of getting a dog. The rental my Wife and K will be staying in is not only almost half of what we currently pay/week but it also allows pets of any kind, and it’s not through an agent – private renal. Bonus.
• Wife’s new job is less hours, same pay, easier job with a “better” recognized company.

So, not sure what else has been happening… we decided for sure we are moving two days ago and in that time we have literally packed 17 full boxes and a half dozen almost filled. We own a lot of shit.
