Internet at Home!

HER: Internet at home!! How exciting is that? For me, very much so and I mean it! REALLY, I seriously do! Surviving without the internet has defenetely been hard. I was still able to check my email once in a while and keep this blog somewhat updated. The pictures are coming, and that is a promise!

I was trying to think of all things we have done since we arrived in the city of Jacksonville and how exciting this journey has been. It is 3 weeks, today, since we left Salem, Indiana. I sure miss Salem, our friends and super cat Aidan, who hopefully will be join us soon at our new home. I am sure he will enjoy it here as much as we do, with all the squirrels and lizards right outside of our apartment. Sebastian wants to catch them everytime he sees them. We are so much looking forward to the rest of the year and the years ahead.

Right now, I'm still adapting to my new job. I took the pastry Chef position at Maggiano's. I have never worked for a corporate business and it has denefetely been quite a change. Everything we offer, we confection there. We make everything fresh and in large quantities just for the day's needs. The restaurant is so busy... I am talking about making 8 cheesecakes, 12 pound cakes, 200 cookies, 8 zucotto cakes, 600 cookies, Biscotti, 60 creme brulees, 60 crostadas + stuff to decorate plates and prep for side orders. For the most part, everyone has been very friendly and welcoming. I'm still trying to adapt to the equipment, since it is large production and there is so much to cover as well. I have an assistant that covers some things as well. But there is so much to do!

So, there has not been much time to slow down and chat. At the end of the day it defenetely feels like the end of the day. It has been my 4th day and seems like the job gets easier as it goes. I am defenetely up for the challenge and a good paycheck!
