Next Moves

Phone, job, car, and house have been knocked out.  Now I'm moving on to the next set of moves.

I spent about 5 hours at Ashley Furniture in Greenville yesterday and this is what I got:

This sofa.

Two of these chairs.

This coffee table.

This kitchen table and chairs.

This Desk Collection.

Which has a matching bedroom set that will make up my guest bedroom / office.

In my bedroom I will have this collection, but not the tall chest of drawers.

Earlier this week I also got this 55" LED TV by Samsung.

And this TV Stand.

My objective today is to match the color of the coffee table and the guest bedroom set to a stain and arrange for 3 book shelves (1 for the office, two for the living room) and a side table to be made for between the recliners.  

Also, if I ever see my busy little sister again we need to go rug shopping.  It would be real nice if I could buy my rugs and have them delivered prior to the furniture showing up.

Anyhow, I hope those who read this blog get to visit me and enjoy my home sometime soon. 

Fluored!

Sorry for the lapse in posting but things have been a bit busy.  

I've started back at Fluor and am the lead planner on an aluminum mill expansion in Saudi Arabia.  I'll be working this project out of the home office for likely a year and then may go to the field for the construction.  I'm also excited about upcoming business trips to either Saudi Arabia or Bahrain. 

The division of the company I'm now in also has a ton of operations in Australia, my number 1 international assignment target. 

I bought a 2 bedroom condo in downtown Greenville and am closing on it on the 27th.  I'll be a 15 min walk to Fluor Field and the West End District, much to the excitement of my sister and cousin who are living in Simpsonville and sometimes don't feel like a 30 minute drive home at 1 am.

In other news, the line, "I just got back from the Peace Corps," works as well as advertised, and it's been almost exclusively used on women out of my league. :)
