Sunny Day!

Hello everyone!

I hadn't posted in a bit so I figured I'd get on and give everyone an update. I am at work so don't have any pictures with me to post. Things are going good. First sunny day here in weeks so it is great!! We have a busy month this month but looking forward to it. This weekend we are going to GA to visit Tracy, Jeremy and Addy Belle for Addy's birthday. We are all very excited to finally get to visit them in GA and see their new house.
Later this month we are going to Charleston, SC with Mom and Sean. We will be meeting and spending the weekend with Sean's daughter, Casey and her family. She has a little girl Alyssa's age, so Alyssa will have a play partner :) We are looking forward to meeting her and her family for the first time!!
My job has been a little up and down since I started. Things began with a bang and it was going great - work was steady, I figured out everything I needed to be doing and then a slight (ok huge) problem came to light. The contract I am here working on was put on a 90 day stop work because another company sued NASA basically saying they should have won the contract. So a review board is being put together by NASA and they are reevaluating who will win the contract. So, at the end of this 90 days we could lose the contract. It is very unknown right now. There were multiple layoffs, I made it through. So - it is kinda scary since we only have this one contract and not very stable at this time. I am currently looking at other options with my Gov't contacts I had from Brown - so a career change may be in the works for me this month. Although stressful, it is ok - just a small stepping stone in my career.
Anthony is doing good - same old Anthony :) Work is going great for him.
Alyssa is growing by the day!! It is so amazing to me how grown up she is!! Her school moved her to the 4 year old room this week. They said she was no longer learning or gaining anything from the class she was in and felt she needed to move with the older group of kids. We agreed and she was moved Monday. She is very happy in her new class and I feel she will continue to learn very well with this change.
Hope everyone is doing good!! For those in NH - we miss you!!!!!

Love you all!
