Big News

I have 2 big updates for everyone! The first is that we found out today that are permits have been in for 2 weeks (more bad communication with our builder) and the slab start day is today!!!! We are now talking to the "higher ups" within KB about the problems in communication with our sales associate. I wonder how long it would have been before they contacted us! Anyway, we are happy things have begun and are hoping that communication will improve from here on out! Immediately after I got off the phone with this gentleman I jumped in the car and drove to our plot and sure enough, there was a frame for the concrete pour with a huge pile of dirt in the middle. When I was there taking pictures a worker came on a tractor of sorts and began leveling the dirt! At this point things should start to go much faster! We'll probably drive by everyday now so we can keep up with what's going on! We will obviously keep all of you updated!

The second piece of news is that I got a new job! There are no opportunities for moving up at the zoo right now and I was having health problems too. In addition, they pay zookeepers so little that it was hard to justify staying when we are building a house and hope to start a family soon. Of course I love the zookeeping field and am going to have a real hard time leaving, but I know it's the right thing to do right now for us! I will be starting my new position as Communications Manager (basically an assistant manager) at Petco on the 14th!
