Dusting off the blogger account

So it's been awhile since I posted, and I don't really know why I quit. I think maybe it had to do with feeling that I didn't really have much going on at the time, but when I look back at it now I realize I did. I have been searching for a job for some time and and finally that search is ended. I am now working for the Midland Reporter Telegram, the daily paper for Midland, TX. I have already worked there most of a week and am currently back home in Abilene with the family.

Maria and the kids aren't moving up there with me until she gives birth to our third child the first week of November, so the next couple of months will be a little difficult. Those that have followed this blog for awhile now (insert silence and chirping crickets sound effect here) will know that my family has had to do this once before, when I interned at the daily paper in Odessa, TX. Coincidentally, Odessa and Midland are only 20 miles apart. Tough times are ahead but Mary and I have a strong relationship and our kids are young so they adapt pretty well. I won't be able to make it every weekend though and that's when things will get challenging.

On a purely blog related note, if I do start keeping this thing updated more I may check with the online editor so they can link to it from their local blogs page.
