A lot has happened

Everything went real nuts for me early october.

- Found out that the call center i was a network admin for was going to be shutdown.
- Was told I would be relocated in the process.
- Lost a dear friend, Jacquetta Bessent to AALL (Adult Acute Lymphatic Leukemia)
- Had a Scrapbook Show Crop to go to, we sold lots of shirts, convincing us, shows is the way we need to go with our business.
- The call center actually did shut down.
- Started the process to relo to Dulles, VA
- Dismantled and shipped out the IT equipment from the call center.
- Business trip for interviews in Dulles.
- Found out that the relo package i was given was not at all what i was told i was going to get.
- Applied for a relo exception increase the relo package to what I was told Id be getting in the layoof interview.
- Went to the Eckler's Corvette Car show
- Thought I was going to have to sign my seperation paperwork before the relo exception was either approved or not.
- The relo exception was denied.
- Signed my seperation paperwork anyhow
- Now jobless, the Monster.com account is starting to grow with content.
- Final preparations were made for my wedding
- My corvette had a catastrophic failure under it's hood, leaving me stranded thankfully at the chevy dealership (details later)
- Decided to run numbers on trading in the vette, told myself anything more than tires and breaks that it would be time to get rid of my dream car.
- Bought a 2005 Tony Stewart Signature Series Supercharged SS Monte Carlo, saying goodbye to the vette,
- Got married to my loving Filpina Hot Mamma Jamma, Jen.
- Had a semi honeymoon at the Gaylord Palms / Epcot / Swan Resort Hotel
- Nearly lost Marc's son at Epcot, nearly giving us all a heart attack.
- Finished my newest resume, and completed the Monster.com account profile and setup.
- Posted for a ton my IT jobs in and around Orlando.
- Sent email to my previous collegues and let them all know how to contact me going forward.

There has been a lot that has gone on, this is just a small list, I know there are a few other things in there that I'm missing. Hopefully I'll work them out of my head. Some of these things I will ellaborate on, others, not so much.

I'm trying to set all this stuff in the past, and start fresh, hopefully with a new job, that actually challenges me to push myself further, and something that brings my family some decent stability. We have gone through a lot since Jen lost her job at AOL just after we found out we were prego with Draven Luke. I am hoping the future holds stable times go forward, at least until we can get ahead a little.
