For those of you in the not privy to the secret, Felipe and I split up last December. Yep, the perfect life is not so perfect. Actually, it happened pretty fast and it was a bit of a surprise, but it gave me an opportunity to showcase my strength and independence. So far so good.
I moved in February into a smaller place that is much more manageable for me and the girls. It is in Gilbert right next to the mall. You never know when you need an emergency pair of shoes. The grocery store is a little farther, so hopefully I won't ever need an emergency cup of sugar. I love the location, and the size and floor plan is perfect for me. It's sad to leave the old house behind, but the old house was designed for my old life. Moving forward is my motto.
Alisa was chosen to be the poster child for all the marketing materials for her school. You probably read in my older posts about the wonderful school the girls attend. Their media guy found a candid photo of Alisa in his arsenal and asked permission to use it in the promotional material for the school. Of course, I replied. For payment we get unlimited school brochures to hand out to family and friends.
Jessica created a design logo for Salt River Project (our local water and electrical company which Felipe works for) and it was chosen as a winner among all other entries. She is quite the artistic one. She also came up with a phrase, "Saving our nation one drop at a time" in regards to water conservation. It sounded so good I thought she plagiarized it.
I am still working at Boeing, but I transferred to a new position within a new department in January, and I really like it. I am still working part time while I attempt to finish my Master's. Emphasis on the word "attempt".
Those are the major updates. Will try to be much more interesting and fun for the next post...
Thanks for checking in.
