Heard wonderful news this week about our dear friend Kellie landing her dream job at a Community College. After spending so much time looking for a job, and taking the risk to being closer with her boyfriend, it's exciting to hear that everything is falling right into place for her (and Albert).

Since we're talking about jobs, our department was surprised to find one of our own on the retirement list. This marks the second consecutive year that a math teacher in the high school is quietly retiring. Last year, it saved my job, and this year it builds another year of job security for me. Our department is thinning, and to continue offering as many sections of so many classes, it keeps my job safe from budget cuts. So, I'm grateful to be sitting tight in Vestal for the reminder of this year, and what looks like to be the 2013-2014 school year.

Hard to believe that Evelyn is almost four weeks old. And she certainly has grown! Her clothes and pajamas are starting to fit her a little better now. Most days things are fine and everyone has their daily routine. Also importantly, everyone gets enough sleep and rest. But there are certainly days when all Evelyn wants to do is cry and fuss. Even through the ups and downs, Evelyn is still a blessing from God to us, and we're still very much glowing with our new family addition.

Friend and mentor, Pete McClain has created and is now selling his first game that he invented. Pete has always been into games and loves thinking about the economics and statistics of them. If you're interested in trying it out, it's called Str8 Eight and costs - surprise - $8.

Super excited that hockey is coming back, and on my birthday no less. Pens are currently the Vegas Odds favorites to win the cup for this shortened season, but I'm feeling a bit more cautious because of our problems at defense. It's been great to come home and when I get a free moment or two to check out hockey updates, and I'm certainly planning to watch the season opener next weekend.

Andrea and I celebrated our 4th Anniversary on Thursday. Instead of going out to dinner and doing crazy things that couples do on their anniversary, we just ordered Chinese food and had a relaxing time at home. Traditionally, a 4th year anniversary calls for a gift of linen or silk, but our joke is that it really should be the Anniversary of Soy. All joking aside, Andrea has blessed my life in so many ways over these past four years, and I'm thankful that she is my wife and best friend.
