Well it has been a long time since I wrote anything on here, and people have been very noisy about me not writing (Zack I'm looking in your direction). I have just been avoiding writing on this thing because there have been a few woes in the last few weeks. I did this on my mission journals too, I tried not to write anything too sad because I knew people would be reading them most likely. But not writing about something does not make it go away. Also I have been working in a ten page final paper that almost killed me, really really.
Thanksgiving was really fun. My folks came up around Wednesday before the holiday to visit. Brad was stuck at work, but it was nice to have most of the clan together. Dad and Ben got to see Alastor for the first time and it was really fun to see the both of them smile, which doesn't happen too often. Ben became very attached once he warmed up to the little guy. It was fun to have another gamer to talk to, what with Niels gone and all.
I'm not big on the traditional foods of Thanksgiving, other than stuffing oooh stuffing, but this year was pretty good, I had my fill. My folks took us out a few times, which I consider better than the big meal.
We've been looking for an apartment ever since we found out that we have been keeping our neighbors up at night with our constant walking. I was a little upset that they didn't tell us directly, but I'm over it. I figure if they don't tell us then I won't personally worry about it and we won't dive into a bad apartment just to get out. That said, I hope the tennants who move in after us are both very overweight and snore loud like a plan taking off.
Looking for an apartment has been hard though since work has been cutting back on hours and my checks have become very small like last winter. This was easier when Meghan could work, but it's different now. Some nice people gave us money in order to have a real Christmas this year and help on some of our more pressing bills. You know who you are, thank you so much.
Meghan's folks also joined us the weekend after Thanksgiving for Alastor's blessing. We did it in the Alleman home in Springville surrounded by family, rather than strangers in a ward we probably won't be in for much longer. It was a really good time.
I am currently working in a new department in Costco selling TVs, computers, cameras etc. It's been real nice to not have to push carts and come home exhausted. Now I can help out more with the baby. It's just a seasonal posistion but who knows it might stick.
Alastor seems to be getting bigger now and we hope he has been gaining weight. We'll find out today at our WIC meeting. He seems to eat a whole lot more than he used to and it looking rather chubby in the cheeks and legs, so hopefully we'll get some good news this time around when he's on the scale.
Otherwise, things have been getting better. We put in an application on a rather nice looking apartment so perhaps that will work out, but it's not too stressful. Work is going well. Meghan seems to be happy and so does Alastor. I figure i'd better load a few pictures before I end this since i've been so lax in writing.
Oh! and I start a Deviantart page. It is Stygiansatyrcarlyle.deviantart.com check it out and show it to anyone who is looking for an artist please please!!!
