General Update

I apologize for not having a post that rivals the parallels of real life to Family Business... I realized that I should give an update on Devon's status at the very least since I haven't posted in a while. Devon's back is doing better - when she doesn't have to go to work and sit at a desk all day, she gets better quite quickly. But, since she is at work every day, she is getting better much more slowly and frequently has poor days on the roller coaster to recovery. I'm convinced that she is also carrying stress in her back from her incredibly incompetent command in the Guard. It's such a bad environment for her and I can't wait for her to leave.

I also can't wait for her to leave so she can join me in Modesto. Today was my first day with E&J Gallo, though I spent it in Fresno touring the biggest winery in the world (I think - certainly they press the most grapes there in any given year) and looking at accounting journal entries that eventually will have some relevance to my job in Modesto. I believe I found a temporary place to live in a new townhouse community in nearby Turlock while we seek to buy a small place here in town. We know exactly what we want and where we want to buy it so we're just waiting for the right property to open up. Hopefully that happens soon. I am excited for the $320k mortgage on a 2/2, 1200sqft home and can't wait to start paying!

Otherwise, all is well and I'm excited to get working for Gallo and actually earn money instead of only spending it. Should be a nice change of pace. My all your mobsters stay off the hit list...
