Nate and I at Guitar Center in Raleigh, NC
Officially I'm back at work. I started learning my new job that I got almost a year ago, pretty crazy!
Overall, it's good. I like the people I work with. I'm very fortunate to be in the position I am. Family, friends, work and finances not to mention my revived interest in guitar. I can't wait to see what the rest of this year will bring. But, I'm not going to wish my days away. I'm very blessed!
I experienced my first Combat Dining-In with my reserve family a couple weeks ago. It was such a fun time! My first weekend back with my unit since redeploying home, we are a real family! Although, this might be my last year. Not sure how else to explain it, but I'm looking forward to a change in scenery. And, I think I found it out West.
Last week was Valentine's Day. It was pretty great! I got to send someone very special a gift that totally took them by surprise. And, I got to treat my "second-parents" to dinner at Steel City Pizza, drink some good beer and get nostalgic for a bit!
As for THIS weekend...
A very early guitar lesson Saturday morning, turned into a very quick PT session afterwards; followed by several hours of blues-scale practicing and a few Sierra Nevadas. "...I got blisters on me fingers!" No joke, they hurt ...but in a totally good way. On a completely other note, my guitar teacher complimented me on some previous articles I published. And, said I have a knack for it.
That feels pretty damn good!
I'm finishing this up listening to Pandora and sipping a brew ...Pearl Jam's, "Yellow Ledbetter," is just about to crescendo. Today was an awesome day. I spent the morning enjoying a great homily at mass. And, being inspired by Him once again. After that I spent some time preparing for a PT test next month. Then, I spent some time with my family across town and had a great dinner.
Can't believe I'll be turning the big Three-O this month!
...Milhouse out
