My husband gets to keep his job.

(Hi Baby!)

Not because he was in danger of losing it or anything. No, He's rocking the communications dept. in a major way (along with a real cool chick :)). I don't think they can afford to lose him at this point. I decided he gets to keep his job. Yes, it's completely up to me, what major life-decision concerning this family isn't? Sure it's a long commute and costs the GNP of all of Africa to fund the fuel for so many miles. Yes, he's asked to travel- sometimes at the drop of a hat and maybe he has to do some crazy illegal 18 hour drive days across country and pee in a Gatorade bottle. He does have to (I say gets to) travel to London and Italy and Spain in the next few months without me (BOO!).
His job can be a real pain in the butt for scheduling family life around and he's always home later than he'd like to be. But! Yes there's a But!- when you are pulled across stage by a (guitar, keyboard, bass, drum?? tech?) in front of thousands of adoring fans waiting impatiently for their favorite band to come out- and THEN get to stand on-stage for the entire set because your husband made friends with the guitarist through work? You don't mind the commute so much. And when you spend the day in the tour bus of the same band (for the second time!) and drink their beers (water for me) and cool off with their A/C and watch their direct TV while they sign autographs, you don't mind the travelling. And when you are invited to see them again in a few months because they are touring with a band you've loved for years and years, well, pretty much anything goes with Husband's work and it's all good.



So, Mr. Man can never quit, even if he wants to. MY perks are just too good!


Thanks to these two for joining us and for providing these pictures. :) Hopefully Wendy's new love interest and Jun's business contacts gained are enough to keep them friends with us.


*This guy had Wendy in a tizzy (j/k) and will hopefully make Jun look good at work. :)

I remember you talking about this whenI was there...Those are pretty good perks :o) And oe of these days you might be able to go with him to those wonderful places. You always have a babysitter if you want to swing by Vegas!

I'm glad there are perks for you and your man since he works so hard and you work so hard and home keeping everything together. Signed, your incredibly jealous friend with a way too boring life *LOL*
