Hi everyone, I'm back

Well, we haven't posted for quite a while, and we are sorry about that... but we are now going to try to post again. Things are going well for Rochelle and I. Rochelle is quite busy. It got to the point that we had to sit down and plan out every minute of her entire week, and we still couldn't get it all in. Her nursing classes keep her quite busy, and she is also trying to prepare for a half marathon in a couple of months. And I do my best to help her out where I can, driving her to school so she doesn't have to park the car miles away and walk, helping keep the house clean, and keeping us both fed. Oh, and I go to work too. ;-) Work for me is interesting. I'm more of an IT guy right now than anything, but an extremely unexperienced IT guy at that. But I can do most of the work without help or supervision. When things come up that I have had no experience with, I have a couple of more experienced IT guys on whom I can call for help. They both charge by the hour, and get paid pretty well for those hours, but we don't ask either of them to do very much for us. I usually stay pretty busy with just helping out people in our office who don't know how to do something, or want something installed, or computer problems, and more recently, I have been helping a lot of customers with outlook. (We host email for many of our customers. By the way... may I suggest to all of you that outlook should be avoided like the plague? Thunderbird is not only free but better.) Right now my boss is in India. We communicate usually around 8 or 9 in the morning for me and at 8 or 9 in the evening for him. He is trying to set up a team of software engineers in India. He has been there for a couple of weeks now, and is planning on spending a fair amount of time over there for the next little while. He will hire his first engineers in a week or two. It's possible that he will want to send me over there at some point to set up a team of testers. I would love to go India. Especially since he told me that I could do it while Rochelle is in Argentina (assuming that I go of course). But these are all distant plans for the time being. We won't know anything certain for a while.
Well, it is 12:29, and church starts in one hour. I think I better get in the shower. ;-)
(I told Rochelle that she had to post sometime today too... so watch for her post.)

It's about time you posted. I hope that your boss doesn't buy you a one way ticket to India. Watch his motives carefully!

I posted and it didn't show. :< I know I was excited about your potential trip to India. That would be fascinating. You are a good husband, it is really cool how you take care of Rochelle. Way to Go! I love you!
