It’s beginning to sound a lot like Christmas

It doesn't really look or feel like it (not a "typical" Christmas anyway), but it's close enough where I can enjoy listening to all the Christmas music on the radio. It makes me happy now instead of irritating me to death.I'm in arKansas with Israel. I flew out yesterday and have been helping him go through some stuff he is storing out here. We'll be driving some of it back tomorrow. Woo hoo. The past weeks have flown by and much has happened, but whenever I get to the end of the day I've been too tired to tell about it. I've seen a lot of people in the past week that i haven't seen in a very long time, which has been wonderful. I spent last Friday in San Diego with Peter and Roya. Ended up having to ride to LA to get a flight home, but it was really nice to see both of them. My trip this week overnighted in Key West on Monday and it was so beautful down there that it was a bit surreal. My crew was awesome so we had a fun time going out, then Tuesday morning I went and walked on the beach. It was so warm there were people laying out and swimming. On Wednesday I had a long overnight in Cinci which coincided with Matt's trip to Dayton from Atlanta. He picked me up on his way and I got to see the Chris and Erin and their lovely children. It amazes me to see my friends not just with babies but with children who are starting to grow up. Good times were had by all. Now I'm with Israel who I haven't seen since March or so. I'm not looking forward to the drive back, but it will be so nice to have nearly everyone at home. Over the last few weeks I've also come to a peace about the rejection I received last month and am becoming more open to other job options. More to come.
