How things change in 6 weeks

Sandra and I in Death Valley

Well where do I start?? Sandra came and stayed with me from January 21 to the 31. We went to Vegas, Death Valley, Palm Springs, LA, Orange County (twice), saw a drive-in, did some shopping, and dog sat for my boss. We both had a great time and I was definitely sad to see her go. But I will see my girlfriend in a few months in Australia hopefully so its not too far away.

I was hired by Carmax last week as a Sales Consultant which means I will be leaving my current job at Beacon in the next 2 weeks. I am really excited for this opportunity for a new challenge and to make some money to save up for my future.

I have been doing quite a bit of reading and am almost finished with Down and Out in Paris and London which is great, I also finished Uncle Tom's Cabin, Bear Grylls book about climing Mt. Everest, and Kevin Elko's book "The Pep Talk". I started playing tennis with john this week and we played 5 days! I got the best of him the first 3 but the last 2 he beat me, so its nice to see how competitive it is.

My sister and Rob are getting married in about a month a half! crazy! Im really excited for them. And then my Uncle Brendan and Jennie are getting married at the end of May so its a happy spring for the Riley family.

Thats about it for now, hope everyone is good.
