BIG week

Whew! Sorry to get so behind on my blogging. (Because so many people just cry each morning when the Petefish Post hasn't been released! HA! Oh wait, that's just my Mom. Oops.) Anyway, I'll do my best to catch you all up on what has been happening in Denver. 

I worked all week. I won't normally work everyday- next week I work Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday- but since I was training with the pregnant lady, I had to use every moment I could get before the baby comes. He's still not here yet. I was pleased. Hopefully she has a weekend labor- a nice and calm time to have a baby. :) As if there is such a thing. Anyway, she's really funny and I will miss her when she finally evicts that fetus. 

My job is moving right along. I am learning a lot. I am always thankful to learn other people's ways of doing things. Sometime they're not the most efficient, but it still helps to see how other offices run. I much prefer my life at Bill's (my boss in Indiana) where I could take MacKenzie to work and actually got to speak with clients. At this office our clients are millionaires and billionaires so I (a lowly tax accountant) do not get to speak with them. That's fine with me as I'd rather speak with everyday HOOSIERS any day. I am thankful to have a job that is exactly what I want to do. There are not many people out there who can say that.

As you can see, Jackson and MacKenzie had a much different week than I did. He has been to the driving range, the golf course (where he shot a pretty impressive 78), hiking with MacKenzie and he also took MacKenzie swimming. I'm tired just thinking about it! (And MacKenzie is literally tired- see above!) The two of them have taken up running the hills in a park near our home each day, too. I'll stay on level ground, thank you.

Jackson does have a job interview downtown on Monday at 3:00. It is about 1/2 mile from where I currently work. He could also ride the train to that office. We're officially going to sell my car and go down to one. With my taking the train and Jackson only looking for jobs close to home or accessible by train, we just do not need two vehicles. Anyway, the job Jackson is interviewing for is with a financial clearing firm. It should be pretty interesting. Let's keep our thoughts and prayers with him on Monday.

I like taking the train to work. I read a book during my rides this week that I'd been meaning to read for a long time: Outliers. It was by Malcolm Gladwell who also wrote The Tipping Point and Blink. (Little trivia here- Tipping Point was the first gift Jackson ever gave me. Aww. I also cannot find it so if I let you borrow it, please return it!) Gladwell is a business writer and he writes with such depth that sometimes his books are a bear to get through. I feel smarter for having read his books and that is all that matters. Today I started reading Why my Wife Thinks I'm an Idiot by Mike Greenberg. He is a sportscaster on ESPN. Mike & Mike in the morning is one of my favorite radio shows (Jackson's, too). I originally bought the book for Jackson, but he is not much of a reader. Ok, he does not read books for fun. Period. Anyway, I have thoroughly enjoyed the book so far so poo on Jackson for not reading it yet. If anyone has any books that they think I should read next, please do let me know. I am going to run out of material soon!

I think you're all caught up now. We hope you all have been doing well this week.
