Snow Day

The moon is currently waxing gibbous. I'm not sure what that scientifically means, but I believe the current definition is "a lot of snow." The snow began last night as a mix of heavy slush, which turned the streets into puddles of brown slop. Now the sidewalks, roads and trees are brilliantly white.

Slim was called out of work for the weather, so we've stayed warm indoors. We are watching the snow and sharing a bottle of French red wine. Yum!

I'm having trouble uploading photos, but I'll update as soon as possible.

A multitude of marvelous moments happened recently, and the Internet is the latest in fortunate events. Slim began his first day at work yesterday, and he loves it. He's working as a financial analyst for a risk management firm a block off Wall Street. This is a great step up for him and opens a lot of doors to him in the future.

So far, he's settling in nicely and wakes up before his alarm goes off to get ready for work. That's a great feeling. He's wanted so much to be given the opportunity to prove he can do the work it takes to be great in this competitive market, and he's ready to work.

After a lot of debate about my current employment, I decided the best decision for my career was to quit my part-time job and begin the search for the perfect job that fosters my goals. I have a lot to get done, and I realize if I don't start now, I will continue to push it behind other obligations.

Today is busy, and I plan on making the most of it. Also, I'll get back to showing you more of the city in the next post. I will be in Texas in mid-March, and I can't wait to see everyone!
