11June2008: Day 17: Attitude Adjustment

Today was a boring day for Makenna and Teri, they hung around the house most of the day. After Chris got home Teri actually took the car by herself for an event at her church. She made it safely out and back without a problem, so hopefully, Teri will be less nervous about taking the vehicle while Chris is a work. We are going to be moving close to a coworker, so we are hoping perhaps he could share rides and Chris could leave the car with Teri.

Attitude Adjustment. There is a little thing here called the attitude adjustment which is really just going to the local pub for lunch, but it sounds much more mysterious when you call it that. Anyway, one of the guys on the team became a grandfather for the first time, so we celebrated at lunch today. It was good to get out of the office for an hour and mingle with the people I work with. They suggested we should have a July 4th party at our new home and I like that idea, so we'll probably do that as a house warming thing.

Work is pretty much the same as over in the states. I'm just beating fires back and helping people to understand the system better. Next week we are going to visit the customer and try to knock down a bunch of issues. So, that should be interesting.

The coworker we are going to be living close to has given us a bunch of toys for Makenna and she was so excited about that. He also gave us a bunch of towels since we are not going to have any in the new place. He's a good guy. His wife is the same age as Teri and is into ballroom dancing and teaches it. So, who knows, maybe we'll sign up for some lessons and be able to do more than just a box step!
