Well here it is in January and I am posting. Wow how time flies. A entire year has passed and so much has happened. The collapse of the financial industry. My portfolio tanking is horrible, but I am so fortunate to have some many more years before retiring. I feel so bad for the older workers and how they'll have to work many many more years before they can retire. The one valueable lesson I did learn is that I will do auto balance on my portfolios. Before my constellation stock just kept on going up and up so I left it alone. At one point back in 2008 it was a little over 100 a share.. today it's at 27, so as you can see its been quite a drop, but I learned something.. AUTO BALANCE.

My girls are getting so big. Lauren is about to be 3 and Megan is 1 and half. They wear me out. Peter and I hardly have time for anything we look forward toward their bed times, but it seems to be getting later and later each night. I think we're going to have to start working on that.

Well a couple weeks back we went to visit a friend of Peter's and they suggested I cut little Megan's hair. Well this is the after picture because before picture was not so good. I snipped it a little too short and it ended up being crooked. Everyone had a good laugh. Here is is sporting her new jacket.

There's Lauren vogueing for me. She's my supermodel with a super attitude. She has a personality all her own, and is quite stubborn. I wonder where she gets that from. She loves to take pictures and is a ham for the camera at times.

Well because of all this financial turmoil and my company seemed like they were having some problems, I decided it would be best for me to move on and find a position that would be more stable. I have been at my new company now for 1 month and I LOVE it. I was very hesistant and anxious about this change, but I think it worked out for the best. Two weeks after I left my old company, layoffs were announced. I am more then positive I would of been the ones layed off, but I jumped before the fall. This new job brings me back to my roots, and I love the company culture here, everyone is so so very nice and kind.
