movin' on up

this is an exciting time for the baron and the husband.

after years of toil in a miserable industry (well, more like an industry that runs off the misery of others, and NO IT'S NOT THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY), at essentially the same agency for the last 10-odd years, the husband has finally reached the brass ring - a permanent full time job with the federal government. it doesn't sound like much, but it kind of is: he essentially wrote his own job description, it's work he likes, the benefits are good, and - because it's an agency under the DHS umbrella - the money will never stop rolling in.

it does not escape the husband's attention that his 18 year old self would throw rocks, beer caps and skateboards at his 35 year old self.
