Summer's End

OK, so is anyone else bummed out that summer is practically over? I mean seriously! We're only a week from Labor Day! It is kind of weird because for the first time in how many years there isn't anyone getting ready for the first day of school in the Fetty clan. I'm kind of sad. Ian and Autumn, have Brienne and Taylor tell you about the fashion show that they would have to give Wendi and me after we went shopping for school clothes! The two of them really knew how to work the runway, that's for sure!

New Job!

So, as many of you have heard, I finally found a job here in Nashville. Well it is actually in Mt. Juliet, which is a suburb. It is with Environmental Science Corp. ESC is a company that conducts the analysis for environmental samples. They don't do any government work; they work strictly with companies. They analyze samples from all over the US so they are pretty busy and expanding. I will be working as an Assistant Chemist doing chemistry stuff... which should be fun and a good learning experience for me. And I think that there will be a lot of opportunity for advancement in the future. The shift is days Tuesday-Saturday. So Tao and I will still have evenings together (once he gets back) and we will each have a day to ourselves on the weekends which should be nice. It will suck a little always having to work on Fridays and Saturdays but it doesn't really matter. Just means that I can't be out too late. And I will probably have the opportunity to jump on the Sunday-Thursday shift if it opens up. So now I just have to wait for my background check to go through and to take my drug test. And then I should start next week! Yay.

Blogging

Okay so I have been completely oblivious to this blog this whole time. There were messages going on that I didn't know about. I had only ever been to the first strand and had no idea that there were other strands going on. Plus I guess that it doesn't help that I had never explored it and poked around. At first I thought that it emailed me when someone posted something... because it did. But obviously not all of the time because today I discover that there has been all sorts of talking. So sorry.... I wasn't ignoring everyone and being too cool for the blog... I was just lost.

Miami Report

Well to let you all know what the Miami representative is doing, I'm down here for the GALA Choruses festival. There are about 5,000 singers here for the week. The Coastliners perform tonight and then the full chorus will be singing on Tuesday. After that it is just fun! They have concerts running in two different locations from 1-11:00 at night with a break for dinner. Lots of music. Lots of fun. We'll be down here until Sunday! Hopefully, I don't totally burn in the sun. The humidity is horrid!

All Over the Country

So today, the Fetty family is representing:

Orrville
Ashland
Cleveland
Wosster
Nashville
Miami
Iowa/ Illinois
Myrtle Beach

We are a busy group!

Happy Fourth of July!

Happy July 4th!

What are everyone's plans for the holiday?

I will be diligently working until late, then I think Ian and I are going to catch some illegal beach fireworks. If he can get off work early enough, we may go to Broadway at the Beach and see the real fireworks!

But it seems that down here the 4th is just another day. This is our busiest week of the whole year. There is no parking anywhere. Everyone staying here thinks they are special. This week costs between $35,000 and $40,000- yes ladies and gentlemen- for 1 week! So everyone thinks they deserve Oceanfront Center, top floor. Not fun!

It isn't the same down here for the 4th. I really miss Orrville's carnival. I loved playing bingo and running into everyone that i have ever known. I miss watching the softball games too. Of course, i miss cookouts and you guys too!

Ok, enough of memory road! I am at work, so I guess I should get back to it!

Muah!

I FOUND IT!!!!!

ok- i didn't see that button before.

Pretty Happy

Well, the sun is shining. Work is pretty quiet today. I guess all is right with the world. I just wanted to show Brienne that I am trainable in the art of blogging. I do think that it's a little intimidating sitting here staring at a blank page and trying to figure out what you want to write that will be out there forever!

The most important thing is to welcome Autumn into this family! She and Ian are both terrific additions and I love both of you very much! Taylor and Brienne already know that I think they are the best kids that any parent could hope for. Somehow the Wendi and Bryan gene pool did a pretty good job there. And while I'm complimenting everyone, I'm giving David a big shout-out here too. The role of step-dad isn't easy and you were the best. I hope that you take pride in the two kids you helped raise - you did an awesome job!
