Switching Places

7 comments Posted by Eric and Jill at 5:41 PM


So starting Monday Eric will be moving to underground. I can't say that I'm not thoroughly pleased. No more having to even think of him falling off a pole. He'll be safe on the ground or even under it. What could go wrong there right! We actually had lunch with his previous Journeyman on Saturday who went off several times telling me what a great apprentice Eric is and just how smart he is. Its always nice to hear great compliments like that.

The Boy and His Dog

Its amazing how quickly someone can become a huge part of your life. We've only had Izzie for about a month and already she takes up the majority of our spare time. Eric enjoys her company a great deal and gets very frustrated when she doesn't play correctly or makes a mistake. But the two are still great pals.

 

Private Newey Reporting for Duty

Adam got to visit us before he left for Korea for a year. I went and picked him up from Houston on Wednesday night and we brought him up to Dallas this morning. We had fun despite that we spent most our time simply talking and laughing. As Adam is probably the one other person who reads both as fast as I do and as much as I do, we had fun going to the used bookstores and looking for books. Even though it was short, it was great to have him out here.






Adam Left at 10:50 am for his thirteen hour flight to Korea. Do not worry though he now has eight books he is excited to read to keep him entertained. He was also thrilled that he'll be getting a meal while on the plane. Its the little things.

Adam has two faces now. One that I grew up with that always looks like he is laughing at something and then this one where nothing looks funny at all. He says he learned this one while at boot camp and can't think of anything other keep every muscle straight.This was Adam all packed up and heading out!

My favorite memory of Adam was when he was very little. A cop was asking each of us some questions for fun that would go on a video later. When it was Adam's turn he was asked the simple question of "what is your name." As Adam is never nervous he confidently replies "I'm Adam Newey Scott Newey." In my mind that's how I always hear his name.

 

BTU Award Ceremony

So it's definately true that you learn new things every day. Such as today I am able to add two new words to my vocabulary thanks to Eric's fellow employees.
1st New Word: "Cuz"
Defination: fellow employee; non-related co-worker; sometimes accidently used when referring to wife.
2nd New Word: "Sunshine"
Defination:



So we went to an award's ceremony for BTU where they note all those that had been there for a while. In between these awards they gave away door prizes. We had been sitting there for about an hour and the applause was begining to get pretty weak. However, finally Eric got called for a prize and half the room gets all excited and started whooping and yelling "Sunshine, that'a'boy Sunshine!" Eric's face went red as he had to walk up to collect his prize. They weren't quiet til he sat back down.

FYI: in their minds, because Eric came from California and the character from Remember the Titans came from California, they are the same.

 

Izzie

So we did just recently get a new puppy. She wasn't house-trained but thankfully for my sanity's sake she picked up the concept very quickly. It has been a just a little over two weeks since we got her and she has improved a great deal. Eric gets so excited each time she does something good. We also recently found a dog park near our area and for anyone who has a dog this is a great experience. At first Izzie can't decide whether she was so excited or scared out of her mind so she kept her tail between her legs and had it wagging swiftly. Everyone at the park just loves her though as do we. She even gets to sleep on the bed with us which Bella wasn't happy about but the two are starting to get along and will even sleep on the same bed(at opposite ends).

 

Our New Neighbor

So I know its silly to be fascinated with Spiders but I think this one is different and should be excused. Besides spiders aren't a threat as long as they remain on their web, located outside my house.
