A (not so) brief update

Alright, I know I have been too lax about the blog lately (Rob really lets me know this everytime I talk to him 8-). Our computer is in the shop so I can't put any pictures up. I know I owe you guys pictures from Christmas. Speacking of which, Christmas was a lot of fun for Cole this year. He would tear off tiny pieced of wrapping paper, then once he realized there was a present under it, he would start tearing big pieces off. It was amusing to Mike and I. We really appreciate all the great gifts we got!

We have been very busy in January. We went to CT between Christmas and New Years and had such a good visit with my Dad and Cindy, Mom, and Granny. While there we went to Mystic Aquarium and Cole loved the fishes. A week after that, I was back in CT interviewing for a job at Pfizer in Groton. On my way home, I missed my connection and had to spend the night in Dulles Airport.

Mike got a job offer in Menomonie, WI, which is about 1.5 hours east of St. Paul, MN. So we all went up there for 4 days for a decision trip where we looked at daycare, houses, etc. In the end, we turned it down since there were no jobs in the area for me. The day after we got back from this trip, I had a phone interview. Mike has had several interviews in the past couple months.

We got news Thursday that there will be all-employee meetings on Monday followed by departmental meetings. Hopefully, these meetings will be more than "We have no new news". The general sentiment at work is that these are THE meetings where they will announce the plant closing and give us our walking papers. Fine with us.

And finally, and most importantly, the Giants didn't choke (yet). Last year, Mike's team went to the Superbowl and this year my team is going. Not too bad. Let's hope the Giants don't play like the Bears did!!

We hope all is well with everyone!! Don't forget to leave comments if you want or email to cswabowski@gmail.com.

I'll have to send you the pics we took on Christmas (once I actually upload them...I've been so bad about that lately). I hope all goes well on Monday, be sure to let us know.
