October News

Since I was little, October has always been my favorite month! This year it remains the same but it seems as the years go by it only gets better. On October 3rd, Patrick and I celebrated our first anniversary in Chicago, IL. I was scheduled to speak at the 2008 ASSE Leadership Conference and we decided to make road trip weekend out of it. (If you are wondering what's going on with the picture of the pumpkin I will tell you the story...On (I think it was) our third date, Patrick was on a trip in Cleveland. After dinner, I brought a gutted pumpkin up to the hotel room for us to carve together. On this trip, Patrick brought along the pumpkin in the picture to surprise me.)

Continuing on with why this October means so much...On October 17th, I will be closing on a house in Sellersburg, IN. The house is amazing. There is plenty of room to grow and the dogs get a huge backyard. After 7 years, Hannah will get her own backyard (but she will have to share with her brother - Charlie). I decided to buy a house in Sellersburg, IN because I have taken a new job. On paper, this is my dream job. I will be working for Cummins out of Seymour, IN as the Site Safety Leader (Manager) for a facility of 300 employees with four direct reports. After a year of being in the Oil & Gas field, I definitely know I belong in the manufacturing industry with a global company...and this is it!!! I will be living 30 minutes from my family, a few minutes from downtown Louisville, I have a great job, a new house and get to see Patrick more often...could life get any better!?!


Below are pictures of the front of the house and backyard.
