De'von's 8th Birthday In Pictures (and video)

Some video from Chucky Cheese

GREAT video of Faith Dancing!!!!

A little more about what i do....

What i MAINLY do in my job, is draw out building layouts in photoshop. i have a autocad file with their layout with alot of detail in it, and i have to use that to create a "plain" layout. for example, here is one i'm doing for a hotel in NYC (i don't want to say the name of the hotel, cuz i'm not sure if that would be legal since i'm showing one of the floor layouts....)

The actual drawing i did is much bigger.. but you get the idea. this building i'm working on has more then 30 floors. i believe this is the 9th floor....don't remember.

anyway, i do that for their website. for each job, they will include the duct and air system pictures into my drawing, so the client will click on the room, and see what is installed their. it's pretty cool.

I also do some autocad work, but so far it's really only been printing things from autocad.

my first week went GREAT!! So far i LOVE this job. i have to dress casual, but friday's are dressdown day. And every Friday they buy lunch for everyone. And the people that work there are the nicest ive EVER worked with. they are all so close with each other, and joke around alot, making the enviroment extremely enjoyable.

On Monday we have a company meeting at a restaraunt in Dayton. the only thing that sucks about that, is that i have to be there buy 6:45 AM!!!! THAT will be hard to wake up so early to get there on time. But at least i'm getting paid for eating breakfast (FREE breakfast, lol).

Quick Update

Ive been too exausted to post an update, but i'll do a quick one.
I LOVE my new job. today was my 3rd day. I'm being kept VERY busy, but so far i enjoy it. The people are friendly, and it's a nice atmosphere.
I explain more about what i do some other time, not much in the mood to now.

rich DID go for his interview, and they were very interested in him, but it would be a huge paycut for him, so he chose not to. So, he's stuck at Inframap for now.

De'von had his 1st Baseball game yesterday, and did AWESOME. he DEFINETLY hit the best hit of the entire game (i'm not lying, ask dad)
I got a few pics, and i took video of him up to bat, but the camera died RIGHT when he hit the ball :-(
and unfortunately i need to buy batteries so i can't upload any of that now.

anyway, off to do some housework. thats all folks!

A gift for me :-)

Richard took Richie to Walmart yesterday to get some diapers and wipes, and Richie told "daddy" that he wants to buy me a present. He said he wants to buy me a teddy bear. He picked it out all by himself. how sweet is this?

And when you push her paw, she lights up :-)

Tomorrow's the big day......nervous, excited and scared all at once. i hope it goes well!!!

ALSO, rich has an interview for a job on Tuesday, so wish him luck too!!!

Something you don't see very often....

MY HOUSE CLEAN!!! :-)
(with the exception of a few stains on rug, and walls ;-)

Only 3 more days until I start my new job.....but am i nervous? HELL YEAH!! ;-)
