New Post, Same Blog

Well, I decided to bring the old blog back into existence now that so much has changed with my life. Lemme bring you up to speed:

1.) I moved back from London, England to Lakeland, FL (my parent's house) in late May '07.
2.) I hung out/took road trips/watched a lot of Flip That House for about two months.
3.) I ended up deciding to move to Austin, TX (basically on a whim).
4.) I stayed with a friend for a few weeks until I found a job (rent free too! THANKS ASH!)
5.) I flew back to Florida, saw some friends, welcomed my girlfriend Erika back into the United States (a whole other story worthy of it's own entry), and packed up as much stuff as I could into a few suitcases before my final flight to become a true citizen of Texas.

...and that's pretty much it. I think I might write a book called "Five easy steps to a new life" based on my experiences.

So as of today I have put in my first week at the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. I am a Child Protective Investigator in training (we train for about 3 months before I get my own case load). I'm sure I'll have plenty to write about over the next few months/years so just stay posted. It should be an interesting time...
