Life's Turbulent Turmoil

Yes, I know that I have been M.I.A. as of late and for that I truly apologize. Life has riddled me with a unsurpassable amount of suspense and surprises. Well not unsurpassable, but lets face it; when it is your world falling down around you that's all you can really see. Work is Good. I have started my apprenticeship with SSVEC (the local power company I work for) and have taken my first test and passed. As my close friends know i don't test all that well and I stressed over this one a lot. I could have done better but I still have 4 more years of testing so I am really hoping that I get the hang of it. On top of that I have a strange crew to work with. Myself that is fairly new, the Foreman that is the youngest lineman on the crew, and two old almost ready to retire lineman that hate each other so much that you can feel the temperature rise when they are in the same room together. Now I must say that I truly respect all 3 of theses men but when they have to work together, well, my job gets harder. One will tell me one way to do something and the other one will walk by 2 seconds later and chew me out for doing it that way. Oh well, I try to not think about it too much when I am home but that isn't so easy either because I have to study for my tests. Well I know that is just work. Every one's jobs come with shit to shovel, the only question is, do you work with dogs or elephants?

Home life is wonderful, as long as I don't bring out side stresses home with me.

My little girl is growing so big. This past week i have cherished her kisses and hugs more than ever. Not that i did not before. I have just taken more time to enjoy the blessing that she is in my life.

Kay has had a rough couple of weeks. We found out that she was pregnant 2 weeks ago and we both got excited; then this last week Kay had doctors appointments and found that we had had a miscarriage. I don't know why. There is no reason for it, it just happened. If you ask me much more then that i don't know what I can tell you. Some times life happens and some times it doesn't. But all and all Kay is taking it well, as well as could be expected.

Well That is Me/Us I hope that all is going well in every one elses worlds.


Post Script:
I have lost some lbs. and hope to keep it up. I will tell you the number and post pictures when I get below 200.
