Where’d December Go?
January 14th, 2009Here’s a quick update on what’s been going on:
- We had a nice loooong holiday break, but we only spent one day at our own house. My holiday break (aside from traditional Christmas fun) involved moving my in-laws camera store to their house (they closed it on Dec. 31st) and tearing out my parents’ kitchen. Hadassah and Karys had a blast shopping at the outlets while I worked on my parents’ kitchen in Gilroy. We spent a lot of time in Bakersfield and had a great time playing Pit, Taboo and Catchphrase. We ate at Famous Dave’s for the first time in Gilroy and we are hooked on Devil’s Spit sauce.
- Karys has started crawling! Being around all of her cousins while they were running around really helped her mobility.
- The youth choir closed out our watch-night service to bring in the new year. They did a great job. They’ve been singing out quite a bit. They’re next excursion is this Friday at Bro. Delgado’s church in Stockton.
- I’ll have a new announcement shortly regarding a new and exciting music department responsibility that my wife and I will be undertaking in 2009.
- Sun’s upcoming layoffs are very close at hand. We’ve been told they’re coming late this month. If I stay, great; if not, then I’ll have a four month severance package.
- Amazon sales are doing well. They’ve made up for the recent lack of piano students. I dropped my piano lesson rates in January. Hopefully I’ll have more students soon.
That’s all I can think of for now!
