And a beautiful morning it is! Weather has been very un-August-like lately. 70’s, sometimes 80’s, and 50’s at night. I keep thinking we’re in for a killer September!
Heather and Justin have set the date for their wedding: Saturday June 27, 2009 at Tyrol Basin. I hope as the date draws nearer, I’ll be in a better financial situation. I would like to help out somehow.
Their wedding will take place at the top of a ski hill! I bet the view will be awesome. We’ll bring grandpa and grandma up on a small ATV-like vehicle. I seriously doubt grandpa would be able to get on the ski lift! 
Brian has moved to a new apartment in Jacksonville. He says it’s a REALLY nice place and he wants me to come out to see it. Wow, this is the first invitation to visit that I’ve received from Brian. I don’t know how I can manage a visit right now, tho.
Work is keeping me very busy. My first trip to Madison went very well. We completed all agenda items, and then some non-agenda items. It’s good to see this client keeping ahead of things! For me, though, well… I have a mountain of work ahead of me. I might try to put in a few hours today. I, too, have to keep ahead of the work for Meriter.
Greg got a job finally! I know how it feels to go on endless interviews and receive the follow-up letters in the mail saying ‘we’ll keep your application on file… bla bla bla’ so I’m glad there was finally an offer. He’s working evenings at a foundry that makes aluminum cast products. It seems to be a very good fit. He says all the people at work refer to him as ‘that Hawaiian guy’. Hehehe
I was thinking about this empty nest stuff while sitting outside this morning smoking a butt. I remember the first time Heather went to live in Madison. Even though I didn’t know her feelings at that time, I remember I was feeling such a big emotional void. I missed her terribly… But this time, well, I still miss her terribly but it doesn’t seem to hurt as much. I think knowing she’s happy and secure in her new life is totally the reason I can deal with it this time around.
But… I no longer have my shopping buddy! Gotta admit, I sure do miss that.
Empty nest indeed - now that Greg’s working evenings, I come home from work to an empty apartment. Seems we’ll only cross paths on weekends. Well, so be it. I can handle that. I have my kitties to keep me company. 
Have a good Labor Day weekend!
