The Whirlwind

Hello again all,

As predicted, facebook has killed my blog. But fear not, the day is approaching when I will cease and desist from using the accursed social media and return to expressing myself through this blog.

The job search continues, but with a quiet reserve instead of a frantic desperation. I want more than anything to continue teaching music, but am working through the painful process of accepting the reality that it's probably not going to happen...at least in the near future.

There will be a trip to Hilton Head, but the Disney/Fort Myers part of that vacation has been cancelled, so that the money set aside for that can possibly be used for moving expenses...or to keep us financially afloat in the event that neither Steph or I can land a job.

The kids continue to be a handful, but a wonderful handful. The biggest sadness about all this job business is that I have had my attention dragged away from the light of my life, my family. But now that the door has closed on my previous position, I am ready to devote myself fully to being the family man I have not been able to be for 2 months.

This has been a trying time but in looking back on my performance in this trial by fire, I give myself not a standing ovation but a silent nod of approval. Made some mistakes, but above all, stayed true to myself, my morals and ethics.

Those of you on facebook, that will probably continue to be the primary method of communication...just more secure posting info there until things get settled.

God bless you all!

Matt and family
