A lot and a little has happened recently.
Biggest outward change is that I've changed jobs. Pretty big deal for me and major level up. I get to deal with pretty much only servers now and no desktop support. Getting into virtualization which is cool as all hell. You nerds out there know what's up.
But recent things, more important things - I feel like I have my wife back finally. The Kina I fell in love with.
The funny thing about kids is that they are lovely little bundles of joy. But they're wedge-shaped. And they like to be right between mommy and daddy. So basically all of the associated issues that accompany that have come into play. Kina got pregnant sept 2009 with Savannah and Feb 2010 with Malcolm - so it's been pretty much nonstop since Sept 2009.
Incidentally this is also when Kina first moved down here, go figure. Prior to that we had lived together up in Canada. So up there she was working and I couldn't find work. Down here it's reversed and she hasn't been able to work. We're now approaching the point where she can get back into her groove of things. I'm a huge fan as this will give her a little more routine to her day that doesn't involve entertaining babies. Additionally this also gives the kids a chance to socialize with other snotty faces in daycare.
But the key thing was a chat we had recently. Everything just flowed out from me. A lot of pent up frustrations. She listened and we discussed. At the end we were both happy. Things I thought could ultimately be deal breakers for me in the long run were resolved and it's like I have the girl I knew before we were married back. But new and improved!
I'm really enjoying this and I hope it lasts. It means a lot to me that we're at this level now. She means a lot more to me at this level as well. Which is strange I suppose. But when all this chaos with kids happens - you start to get detached.
Just really glad to have my best friend back. I've missed you.
