New Life

As this year passes us by we found out Chrissy is pregnant and due in March of 2010. Thats right something gave me the power to reproduce life and the ability to be a father. Well thats a task all in its self. I am very excited as well as Chrissy. We'll see what this brings upon us.

As the news of GM buying back Delphi hit us, I now after a 6 month layoff am returning to work on Monday.

Time flies when your having fun!

Since my last post, Chrissy and I have moved again but just across the hall a simple move, to a 2 bedroom(we wanted more room). So also went down to see some really good friends in North Carolina, which was a blast.

In band news our singer/guitarist stepped out due to personal reasons. So the hunt for a new singer/guitarist is on. On this note I was a little disappointed in the he wanted to leave but more pissed on the way he did it via email. But no hard feelings.

Recording

We as a band now have a full studio at our hands/leisure/disposal what ever you ant to call it. It is awsome!

What I've been up to......

This may take a while on what I've been up to. So I'll start it out by saying the last week of January a bunch of us were laidoff from Delphi. We saw it coming just wondering when it was going to happen. But Jan. 23rd was my last day there.(for the time being!) I'll explain We were Indefinatly laidoff they took our badges and told us they would call if we are needed back. As a Union shop it's an easy thing to understand when you in the system but outsiders wouldn't. So here I sit almost 8 weeks not working but getting 95% of my pay, nice deal huh?
Since I have been out a group of us that got laidoff together have ad lunch to catch up. Kind of a nice thing to have some friends that have gone through the same as you and understand whats going on. Seems now Chrissy and I have more money then whan I was working whats up with that? As I stay home and clean and take the dogs out and read and watch TV,I lose IQ points and people skills, I feel I dont know how to talk to people outside my little group. Ugh!
The band is going well we have found a new singer/guitarist and should be playing out soon. It is such a great thing to have someone who knows what is up. Shaun is our new singer/guitarist is a breath of fresh air. Easy to work and get along with.
Chrissy and I are going to see our good friends in North Carolina in June. Just a mini vacation.
More to come....

A long time

It has been a long time since my last post. So I will try not to bore you on whats been happening. After we came back from I was bumped to second shift at work though it does suck not to see your loved ones, it is kinda of relaxing. It makes it that much more special to see them on the weekends.
So after getting used to second shift my brother came home for his yearly visit. That went well I guess he spent alot of time doing his photography and looking into coming home to persue his Bachelors in Photography at R.I.T.
There was alot of hostility on my part that may not have been necessary now but at the time was in my mind. We have to work some things out.
As far as the band, in November Fahad stepped out as singer and guitarist due to creative differences. I wish him the best in 2009 with all he does musical,career and life.
On to other things Chrissy and I moved to a new apartment in November it has more for the dogs like a doggie park were they can run and play and act like morons with the other dogs.
We had the yearly Minurka Family Christmas party at our new place. That was fun kids playing Wii and adults drinking as normal.
Christmas was a good one this year I got some good books and DVDs. Oh and the usual Hess truck from my dad. Thanks dad It would'nt be Christmas without it.
The day after Christmas the tree goes out the door and to the curb. Its a tradition I started when we had our house.
So now its the New Year and more fun to be had. I am still working this week but who knows what will happen next week.
A new President hopefully some new thinking to go along with it. New oppertunities as well.
