Update on the Zemaneks

WORK
SLY: I started my job on July 7th and I went back on the 8th. :) So far I'm loving it. My co-workers are AWESOME and I love the commute (less than 8 miles so about 10 minutes!).

My first event is coming up on August 8th & 9th. It's a big cycling event down in Castleton, VT. Cyclists get to choose whether they ride 20, 40, 75 or 100 miles each day. Luckily, I'm not riding a bike!!! :)

SHAUN: Shaun is still as busy as ever. He works so hard and only has a 1.5 days off each week. We're lucky that so many locals love him so much and play with him as often as they do.

LIFE
- Unfortunately I will not make it to Michigan next month. I could not find a reasonably priced flight and thought I had more miles than I really do. I'm bummed but hopefully we can work something out so both of us can go out together at some point.

- We still haven't managed to get any paint on the walls but we did pick a shade of green. :) That is progress. Now I just have to get the paint and get it on the walls.

- Shaun took today off and we got out of town for a bit. We went to the outlets in North Conway, NH. It was a great day together and we found some fabulous deals. :)

That's all for now. Life is kinda boring so I don't really have much to share but I felt bad that I hadn't posted anything recently.

So Grown Up

Happy 7th Birthday, Georgia!
We love you SO much and can't believe what a beautiful young woman you're already becoming.

Update - Job and Life

ON THE JOB FRONT
So I actually didn't start my job until last Tuesday (July 7th). So far it's going really well. I really like the other women in the office. It's a bit overwhelming because I'm used to being the person that knows everything so not knowing anything is a little hard. But hey, I can't always know everything and I'm learning. :)

I'm super busy and have been thrown right into everything because my first event is in 3 weeks! One of the fundraisers I coordinate is a bike ride. It's a 2-day event that people ride either 20, 45, 75 or 100 miles each day. There is a good amount of stuff setup but there is still A LOT that needs to be organized and I have to learn a whole bunch of different things. Don't get me wrong - I'd rather be busy and learn by rapid fire than taking it slow. Then it just takes too long to learn everything.

ON LIFE
Shaun has been super busy at work. He's always so popular with the guests that he's always in demand. He complains about the hours but loves being so popular. :)

I am hoping to make it to Michigan next month but I'm having the hardest time finding a flight I can afford. I'm so bummed. I thought I had more airline miles than I do so that was a sad realization. I thought about driving but it's about 15 hours each way so I'd be driving for two days to only be there for 2 days. Oh well. I'm just hoping something works out.

Other than work, we haven't done much. We think we may have finally found a shade of green we like to paint the kitchen/living room area. Now we just need to get it painted. Don't be surprised if a year from now our walls still white. Hahahaha.
