• Here are the latest pictures of our little monkey.  I’m not sure I even know how to do this so if the pictures don’t come accross then you’ll have to wait for Pam to post them when she gets home from California. 

  
  

  

  
  

  

  
  

  Cute little bugger isn’t she?  I like the one where she looks all serious.  She is quite the mini-model.  Nice outfit picked out by mom as well. 

  
  

  We are all really looking forward to making the trek to Utah this upcoming week.  A nice vacation has been a long time coming and I find it hard to stomach another two days of work till I’m off.  Perhaps I’ll be rejuvinated after the trip…perhaps not.  The Regional Rental Manager over Nevada came out to my office today and took me out to lunch.  We had a long talk and he offered a bunch of “atta boys” and basically told me I could write my own ticket to several branch manager positions opening up over the next three months.  It’s funny, but I don’t meet his promise will all that much enthusiasm as I don’t see myself staying longterm with the company.  There is truely a lot of opportunity within Enterprise and I’ve certainly built a strong foundation, but I see it as a mear stepping stone in what I hope/plan to be a more fulfilling career.  I sometimes worry that the actual time of when I should cut ties and move on won’t make itself abundantly clear and I’ll miss other opportunities that I should be taking advantage of.  It’s hard for me to walk away from anything so hopefully they’ll be some sort of sign drop from heaven saying “Quit your lousy job and go to the coast.”…isn’t that how it works? 

  
  

  My youngest sister Amy Jo is getting ready to start her first semester up at BYU.  It will be the first time she’s spent more than a couple days away from home so I hope that she adjusts well and has a good time.  I remember how excited I was starting school knowing that by the time I was done I would have all kinds of experiences and fun times.  Luckily I had my older brother Eric to shepherd me along and keep me out of too much trouble….Amy Jo is a good seed and has her feet more firmly attached to the ground that I did at her age.  She’ll have nearby Grandparents and extended family so hopefully she won’t be overly homesick.  However, I’m actually more worried about my mom….a house full of wiener dogs and cats and no kids.  Should be interesting.

  
  

  Not much else to report.  Hopefully this thing posts correctly otherwise I will have written in vain….although it is rather therapeutic to put thoughts on paper or pixels in this case.  It’s late and so I’d better crash or it’ll be ugly tomorrow. I’ll return reporting duties back over the the matron of the house when she gets back.  Can’t be soon enough.
