Jeeze Louise! I've been a busy, busy girl! The move took a little while. You just don't realize how much crap one can accumulate!! My husband and I had quite a fair share of it. The hardest part was getting him to decide what needed to be thrown out! It was like pulling teeth to get him to even look through HIS stuff! I guess it stressed him out so much, he made me in charge of all the packing, and he would be in charge of the actual moving a hualing away. The deal worked out for me. I managed to get a lot more done with him out of my hair.
Then there was the new job! Holy crap! This was the opportunity that saved my career! For those that don't know I gave up my career to move to Alaska to be with my husband. Here in Alaska there isn't a very big market for geospatial Imagery analysts/Cartographers. Well, there were positions if you don't mind living out in the middle of nowhere in the artic trying to map glaciers and volcano's. Not exactly my dream job. But now I'm back in the saddle in Anchorage proper! Not an igloo in sight! My old job was awesome---but truth be told I really had no idea of what I was doing (I was a data-base administrator.)
Once we were somewhat settled into our new home, we decided that we needed an addition to our little family. So we adopted a six month old boxer name Emma. I'm going to be perfectly honest, it's not that I don't like pets...I love animals....I hate cleaning up after them! Especially when they poop and pee on my brand new floor in my brand new house!! I was completely and utterly fed up with her after about the the first 2 days! Then my husband calmed me down reminding me that she is just a puppy and will grow out of it eventually. I was to seconds from taking her to the rescue, but my husband starting helping out more, and she really is just as cute as a button!!!
So anyway, that's what's beeen going on with me lately. Since all this began I gave up my gym routine....but I'm happy to report I have not gained any weight---nor have I lost any. I fully intend to get back into the swing of things. My new Co-worker and friend Pam have been sporadically going to the gym since I started working at the new job. Once our schedules settle down, we fully intend on regulating a work out regimen. Well that's all for now, I wish nothing but the best for you all in your own personal endeavors!

So glad to hear from you. I have been wondering where you were!! Congrats on all the great stuff happening in you life -new house, new job, not gaining weight and a boxer puppy! What more could a girl ask for. I had a boxer from 1st grade until my SR year in high school. They are super sweet, loving and dedicated dogs. Glad you're back:)
I love little Boxer dogs, my neighbor had one, but the idiot didn't take good care of it and gave it to another idiot and this guy let the little boxer run without leash and not even 24 hours after he got the dog, Julianne died.
I just finished my Masters degree in the fast lane and fully understand what you’re work load is. I actually completed my American college education without any transferable units from Germany (AS, AA, BS, MA) in the fast lane from 2003 – 2006. Only advance I had over my classmates, I did all this in my native Germany 30 years earlier and I’m very competitive. I was tired of spending money to translate my transcript each time I need to show them to the Government to renew my teaching credentials. Now I just show my American education transcripts. Glad you’re back.
Glad to hear from you. I haven't really been posting much but you had lots going on. Congratulations on the move, the home, the job, the dog. All great things!
