So I have been slacking on keeping up with this. I realize the importance of trying to do this on a regular basis, but life keeps getting in the way.
First of all, I am getting closer to graduating. I have just started my Spring quarter at UCR. This is my last full quarter (I still need one summer class) and then I'm done. I receive a 4.0 for the Winter quarter and am quite happy about it.
Work has been going well. I have been keeping busy with a number of projects and enjoy working at Alta Vista Credit Union.
I have decided that I wanted to punish my self with some extra curricular homework. I am self-studying for the CompTIA A+ certification. I already know a good deal about computers and troubleshooting , but feel that it is better to fill in any gaps before attempting the exams. I plan to further torture myself by attending a Cisco Networking Academy (possibly at RCC) to acquire a better understanding of networking. Ultimately, I plan on working toward an MSCE, but that my be a little ways down the road.
My family is doing well. At least, as well as can be. We found out that my wife was pregnant in December 2010 and due sometime in August 2011. My wife gets to brave one more pregnancy as we are not planning on having anymore children. My kids are doing well. My son (2) is energetic as ever and has begun to speak quite clearly. He can certainly surprise us sometimes with the things he says and remembers. My daughter (1) has become pretty much a pro at walking and has become somewhat independent, aside from wanting to be help at least 75% of the time. I really love and appreciate my wife for all the longs hours she puts in with raising the kids. She deals with my not being around much between work and school.
My promise to you. I promise to post more proactively. Can't guarantee that everything will be super interesting, but I will do my best to make it worthwhile.
