What Next?

So then the wheels starting rolling, gears were shifting and life became crazy!  Even though he didn’t officially start his new position until June 1, he began transitioning the plant GM role to his replacement and making travel plans to visit the 8 locations he would now be in charge of in his CFD President role.  We snuck off for a short 2-nights where we spent time enjoying the beautiful California wine country and planning the next couple of months.  After that he started travelling, I began telling my clients L and the kids their friends.  It was kind of surreal since we knew we wouldn’t be leaving for another couple of months – mid-July.  I mean, we had things to do!  Like…

A basketball tournament in Reno, NV for the boys! We took Jermal and Nate with us so we had a full boat – but had an absolute blast.  We squeezed in a birthday supper for Hillary since we were there over her special day, and surprised her with finding an ice cream place in the afternoon for a treat.  The best part of that day was when Dad forgot he had written “honk – it’s Hillary’s birthday” on the suburban window and got irritated later when someone honked and he thought they were telling him to get out of the way!  We all laughed pretty hard when, after he commented on their rudeness, Hillary said, “well you know dad, you did write honk – it’s my birthday on the window”!  The trip home took a bit longer than the trip out there since we had to stop at Cabela’s…a long stop but a fun one too.  Being in the car with 4 boys who had played 2 games each that day made it a pretty stinky ride home too!
