The Dilemma...

...apply for a job on a different program that may lead to my dream job but will probably require really long hours for a while with me not knowing at all what I'm doing, or stay at my current job which is now super busy but I know what I'm doing and am finally feeling like I'm contributing and am happier than I've ever been on this program??? If I apply for and get this new job, I will be leaving my current group short staffed and with very little knowledge on what I've been working on lately (I think the new lead would have a short learning curve, but he would have to do all the work himself). OR...I could wait a year, see my current project through, and hope that the other program will still be hiring and have things better defined. I'm so not good at making decisions...

Cross one off the list...

A few weeks ago I hit my quarter-life crisis. So what did I do?? I went skydiving!!! Yes, me, who is afraid to take any risks at all purposely jumped out of a perfectly good airplane with a guy strapped to my back. It was so awesome! I really want to do it again, this time knowing that it's ok not to be able to breathe during freefall. That was the scariest part for me, I amazingly never even thought about the parachute not opening. Now, so that there's proof, let me see if I can insert a picture... Woohoo!!! :-) Maybe I'll take my little sister skydiving for her high school graduation next spring...you know, instead of buying her needed stuff for college.

Speaking of my little sister, her and my folks just left after spending a week out here with Stacy and I. We spent a few days in Yellowstone and the Grand Teton area then did a little driving tour of the Oregon Trail on the way back to Denver. And I'm also proud to report that my sister Bonnie is, as of today, 13 weeks 6 days pregnant! :-)
