Busy Busy

I guess it is a good thing that I have a full time job in my field and I'm engaged. I don't spend that much time online except when she isn't home, and even then, it's not that much. I'm usually too tired to do anything but eat, watch TV, and read a little bit instead of spending time on here.

Nothing much has been going on the last month or so. I've been spending a lot of time outside for work as I'm monitoring the construction of a retaining wall. (Yes, it's as exciting as it sounds.) But hey, it's for what I went to school, to make sure those building are doing it the way the engineers designed it.

Soon, however, I would love to be the one who designs. I like my job, but it's not exactly my field. It's my first job out of college (finally!) that uses my education, and I'm going to stay with it for at least a year. Alia and I are thinking of moving north of the city to Cranberry Township. It's a nice area, plenty to do, and not too far from the city, but far enough. It is also in a great school district which we'll have to worry about eventually. If we do move out there, I would love to find a job out there, since right now, if we moved, it would probably take me an hour and a half to get to work in the morning from there. Oh well.

See you in a month or so.
