Recent and Future Happenings

Now that I have my site: www.burch-family.com going, I am using 360 to host my blog. I am hoping people will start reading my blog at: http://www.burch-family.com/blog.html . I figure that I should start giving people something to read. Maybe one day I will hit 3 readers.

Lately I have been extremely busy at work. I just finished my first big project as supervisor. I restructured my entire team and the leads and I really feel that this was needed and will help us all out. After the dust settles, we will definitely be taking some time as a team to have fun together. It has been a stressful past few weeks and I TRULY appreciate the team's patience with me and the changes I have implemented. This is a short term pain.. for a long term gain. As we head into Q3, my entire team has such an opportunity to make great strides and I am positive that we will. Q3 Baby!

Jamie, the kids and I have a fun couple of weeks coming up! This Sunday is the Yahoo! Customer Care Summer Picnic. We all go to the Oregon Zoo and have a very nice catered lunch and cold beer. The kids have a BLAST at the Zoo and having all of my fellow Yahoos there with their kids, just makes for a fun day. Wednesday, the fam and I are heading to Cali. We will spending a few days with Jamie's grandparents at their ranch near Sacramento. Then we head to the bay where will be spending a couple of days with her dad. Hopefully I will be getting the Yahoo! luxury box for Friday's San Fransisco Giants game. We are all really looking forward to watching the game.. especially from the box. By coincidence, the main Yahoo! Summer Picnic, Camp Yahoo!, will be that same weekend. I was going to take the fam to headquarters, but Camp Yahoo! will surely be more eventful. This vacation is definitely needed. I don't remember the last time I took more than 2 days off. (of course I will have my laptop and will be staying up-to-date on happenings). Jamie's van is broke down so we are renting a car. When we get back.. I am taking it to a shop, having it fixed then selling it.

We are moving the last week of August. My sisters family and my family are going to be living in a pretty big house together. This will allow us to save thousands of dollars on rent. Once we have a nice amount saved, we will be buying a house. Short term pain.. long term gain.

Jamie and I are headed to our yearly Dave Matthews Band 3 day trip to the Gorge over Labor Day weekend. We are really looking forward to the time alone. It helps to have a few days without the kids. While we DO miss them dearly (we tear up at night), it helps Jamie and I to really just hang out and talk for a few days. We wake up leisurely, eat breakfast over looking the river, we have a peaceful afternoon and then finish the day with a Dave show. 3 days of this in a row, does the soul good.

Well.. I talked everyone's ears off.. so that's all for now folks!
