New Beginnings

This week was Jack's first week in the "real world!" It's probably not a GREAT sign that his first day on the job was in Florida, because that probably means he won't be home much. However, we remind ourselves that he could still be in Afghanistan or we could be jobless, so we'll totally and thoroughly appreciate this job especially since it's near some family and friends. I have a GREAT support system for when Jack is gone.

This job seems to have endless opportunities for Jack, so that is something we are really looking forward to exploring. He really enjoyed his first week on the job too, so that is a relief. He was worried, especially since he's been a pilot his whole career, that he would be in over his head and not really know what was going on! However, it was not that way and he felt like he contributed to the cause. He did say it felt very strange to be on a military base in civilian clothes and a hard hat as a contractor! I would imagine so!

We close on our new house today and will spend the weekend trying to paint the outside and spruce up the landscaping. We'll take lots of befores and afters, so we can share the progress with you!
