Jobs

Holy crap... I got a job! Ya, I know, it's not as if I didn't have a job before. However I really couldn't call that a job. It was far below my skill level, but at least the hours were good. But I digress...

Spring Break, 2006

We went back to Mexico last week. We had a great time!

We were a bit apprehensive at first because it was our first time staying in our timeshare (Villa Del Palmar Flamingos in Nuevo Vallarta). We were not disappointed! The resort is beautiful. We stayed in a 1 bedroom condo (that could sleep 4). The bedroom had a 5 piece master bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub. There was marble everywhere. The patio was incredible with a nice big marble table, chairs, and a chez lounge. We had a great view of the resort and the ocean.

Update on Dad

Although his pathology report came back clean, the surgeon recommended chemotherapy and radiation. He’ll be getting about 5 days of treatment each month until July. This is stricly precautionary though, so that’s good. Hopefully they won’t be very high doses. After July, he’ll have some recovery time before they go in a reconnect everything. It’s a bit more time than we orginally thought, but everything seems to be on some kind of schedule at least.

Update

Good news for my Dad. He’s back home from the hospital and recovering nicely. He’s trying to take advantage of the 25lbs (!!) he lost too. He’s watching what he eats. Of course, I’m sure the doctors have a hand in that too. The pathology came back clean so that’s a really good thing. He’ll go back in a few months to have everything reattached to thier proper places. Sean and Veronica came out to Colorado this past weekend.

New York

I just got back from New York. Unfortunately, my father had to have a tumor removed from his colon on Wednesday. He’s recovering well; he should be out of the hospital in about week. In about two months he’ll have to go back in for another operation. That one won’t be as bad though. They’ll just have to reconnect his colon (his lower colon is disconnected so it can heal). The prognosis is also very good.

2005 Holiday Season

Well, we’ve had a busy holiday season!

For Christmas, we drove down to Apache Junction to visit with Jamie’s Dad and his girlfriend. Jim bought a trailer home with plenty of room for him and his horses. Apache Junction is an interesting place. It’s population is unbelievebly old white people, heh. It’s a cool place if you ever get the chance to visit. Although you might not want to believe someone if they tell you everyplace has a fish special every Wednesday night. shrugs

PNW Trip

Wow... what a trip. Jamie and I just got back from a trip to the Pacific NorthWest. It was a blast. We went to Seattle, Yakima to see Jodie and Nico, and to Portland to see Paul and Leisa.

We enjoyed Seattle a lot. The weather wasn't too bad either! It was a bit humid though.

A Bunch of Numbers

5; 2,435; 3029; 06/05/2005; 32; 26.2; 308; 11:12; 4:53:31

"What do all these numbers mean" you ask?

Spring Break, 2005

Jamie and I spent last week relaxing in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, at the RIU. It was a very nice end to my Master's Degree. ATMEL shut down for the week and Jamie had spring break, so we had to take advantage of it while we could! I actually missed the last week of classes for me, but it wasn't a very big deal.

Whoohoo!

Well, I've done it. I've finally done it. Tonight I attended my last class for my Master's degree! Thank God. I suppose I'm now considered a master of Computer Science. *shrugs* I'm just glad it's over.
