Family Issues

Getting married is an interesting time. After you get all the tasks done and send out the invitations, you sit in anticipation to see who is going to respond first. You look forward to getting the mail everyday. You toss aside all the bills and junk and rip open the responses to see who is coming and who is not.

I have been surprised that family members are not the first to respond. There are several people of my family who have not RSVP'd yet and a couple from Brett's have not either. Some of those on my side I am really surprised they haven't responded and some I know they won't (and I really don't care about those). However, the ones who haven't and I do care about I am not sure what to think. I know we still have 2-1/2 weeks for people to return them but I would have thought they sent them as soon as they received them.

It should be interesting to see if these family members will come or not. I know one in particular that will make my mom really angry if he does not show up. I have a feeling that he won't because he will have to face all the responsibilities that he should have been dealing with over the last 2 years.

The Unsaid Compliment

I was told today from a co-worker that my boss paid me a compliment. He feels we will be able to handle his whole business just the 2 of us. Are you kidding? I work for a person who manages over $75 million in assets and is in Cleveland. I live in Virginia. Does anyone see a problem with this?

I guess it makes me feel good to know he feels we (or should I say I) can handle everything. The problem is I am not sure how much longer I will keep working for him. I know I will definitely be there through July but after that who knows. I might find something in Virginia. I might change careers. The world is a big place and there are so many options.

The other thing is there is no potential for growth where I am. I could go to production but if I stay for the same company, my current boss will expect me to go in on things with him and split the commission. I don't think so. If I am doing all the work I should get all the rewards for it.

The Condo Saga

We are now being told we will not settle on our condo until the end of July. That means I might have to spend a couple of weeks after our honeymoon in Cleveland while Brett comes back to Virginia. The only reason I would have to stay is since I work from the house I won't have internet access to be able to work everyday. There are some possibilities of me finding a place on post or staying at a friend's during the day so I can work but what a burden that will be for everyone involved.

The other problem is now we will have to keep our stuff in storage for 2 months instead of 1. We still plan on moving out of the house we are renting at the end of May since we won't be here all of June. Doesn't make sense to keep it, pay rent and utilities, and not even be living in it.

As I always say there is always a reason for why things work out the way they do. Hopefully we will figure the reasons for this one soon (adding to my anxiety).
