I'm still here! :D

Can't remember when I really last blogged!

Updates:

Gary and I just moved into our own place about a week ago here in Sunnyvale, CA. Needless to say, we've been busy unpacking and fixing our stuff. California weather is very lovely, although the current freezing temperature makes it impossible for me to get out of bed in the morning. We are also closer to things we missed: for Gary his family; for me, Filipino groceries :D

I started working for an ISO-certified staffing firm based here in Silicon Valley, which places candidates in leading companies in the IT, Finance, Administration, Engineering, Bio and Manufacturing industries nationwide. It is a slight deviation from what I used to do in the Philippines, but I'm really enjoying myself learning the ropes. The company is full of well-educated, kind people, and is already showing me a tremendous opportunity to grow my career. I love it!

Gary is back in the Army, this time as a member of the Reserves. As I type this, I'm alone in the house while he's reporting for duty in Moffett Field, a military base in Mountain View about 10 minutes from here. This morning he wore his ACU after so long and I didn't realize I kinda missed him wearing it. The husband should be back before dinner.

So everything's looking up for us after so much moving around, and I'm happier than ever :D
