But quick update: I've moved and I'm living with a couple of great guys north of Troy. We live in a house out at the edge of the woods! It is a great situation in most ways. (We don't have internet yet though!)
I'm working hard at the job, still enjoying it for the most part! I am looking for a new car... which is a post of it's own.
But I'll update again soon, and I'll try to have pictures.
