You want to give me more money too?
He lives!!!
Well, I obviously suck at at blogging. Honestly I've thought about it many times but don't ever sit down to do it. I've realized one of my main problems - I'm a perfectionist. I don't want to sit down and write unless I can come up with something coherant, have something interesting and it all fits together. Anyway, I'm going to attempt to just forget about all that and just write whether things are exciting or boring.
Also, for those of you out there with blogs - I do read them. I don't often comment but I do get on and read.
Well, life carries on. I'm still enjoying my job. It continues to be a wonderful and rewarding experience. Today, I was informed that I got a raise!!! When I signed on with E&Y my offer letter stated that I wouldn't be eligible for a raise until October of 2009. So this raise was a fantastic surprise. It wasn't huge -- 2.6%. I guess that normal merit raises can be as high as 25%!!! I assume that 25% is rare but still, possibilities are pretty nice. It's nice to be appreciated and shown such. As I'm still learning and continue to make mistakes, it's nice to know that I'm doing well and not at risk of being fired.
Trea and Adia continue to be wonderful. Adia loves to communicate and smile and laugh. Her vocabulary is huge - between the signing and speaking. Yesterday I was just joking around and tried to talk Trea in Thai. She's forgotten everything. It's kind of sad. :-( I have so much fun with them - they love to laugh and daddy can usually make them laugh. I love to come home from work and they both get so excited when I walk through the door. - Daddy!!!
Seems like I had more to write but it's now midnight and I need to get to bed so that I can make it on time to work.
So, hopefully I can just sit down and write even short posts. It's funny, because I almost (without thinking) signed off on this post with

because I'm so used to writing it at the end of emails. Anyway, that's it for now. Don't leave me for dead - just yet.
