Happy Kid

So we went to my niece's church for an Easter Egg hunt. They dropped 30,000 eggs froma helicopter. Elizabeth was so exctied! She did not get one egg! She was happy picking up all of the egg parts... She is so cool!

Puerto Rico Day 1

Hi!

Well no phone service is a grump... Jen is definitely roaming. I feel aggrieved at not being able to call whenever I want.

Flight departed PHX without a hitch - except that the flight was overbooked... EVERY seat was taken. Jen and I did not sleep much...

Charlotte was... an airport. Jen and I mosied too our gate. She beat me a scrabble (be warned - Jen is a mean scrabble player). We then mosied back to the food court. We had a light breakfast (burger king...)

Flight to Puerto Rico was BOOKED too. We met a nice group who was struggling to ctch up with their cruise ship...

Arrival in San Juan... over one hour to get our luggage (NO exaggeration!) then we got in another line to catch a cab. Uneventful. =)

We got our hotel - our room was not ready... What to do??? We changed into our swim suits and went swimming in the ocean!!! I was verklempt when I first saw it. When we were coming up to check on our room we saw Sian and her fiancee Gary. He is a really cool guy!

The view from our room is OK - but not quite what we expected - lots of dumpsters. 2.5 hours after our arrival - our room was finally ready. It is a nice room. We showered and went in search of food.

Amy spent the last 45 minutes futzing with the wireless... Gave up and connected to the LAN.

All is well. We are safe and looking forward to our presentation tomorrow - after which we plan to go to Old San Juan and see the fort...

Can your job kill you?

This has been my question for this week... I waiver between "absolutely" and "I am not sure"...
After working 13 hours yesterday and spending $2000 on my credit card to support my job I have to admit that I am straying towards "absolutely" this morning. =)

In regards to the $2000 - I looked over my credit card statement. In the last month I have put $5133 of work charges on my credit card. I have been paid back $2353. That means that the college owes me $2780! Kelly is ready to kill me - or someone else! Now I need to think what I can do to pay for part of the room in Puerto Rico. oy!

On the happy notes: 1) the Instructional Technology position apps are ready to be picked up at DO, 2) it is Spring Break, 3) Kelly and I are both taking off weight on our diet, 4) I have to coolest kid EVER!

My birthday...

Ok - Kelly got me an 80GB iPod for my birthday. I was stoked and then I said "It was expensive wasn't it?" He said, "Yes," with a forlorn look on his face... He knew what was coming... I said, ready for it??? "Take it back."

So then the next day I see a 15 peice accesory kit for the PSP and I call him to ask "Why didn't you get me a PSP?" He said, "I don't know." I extolled the PSPs virtures (games, movies, mp3s, photos, wireless, etc) and we went and bought one last night! It is SO cool! And it WAS cheaper than the iPod! ;) Plus I got another mp3 player too! =)

Also on my birthday I had the absolute best cupcake of my life - coconut! from tammycoecakes.com!

What a birthday!!!

Robbed!!!

Can I go home now - I am bummed!!! Our candidate was the best. He would have been spectacular!!! Guess he is just going to have to kick butt and take names this year and take International by storm next year!!! Hopefully he will not let this get him down! He is so awesome!

Saturday 3/1

Regional Convention continues!

Kelly and Elizabeth went to the Khalsa School Carnival. Elizabeth got beaten up by some big kids on a bouncy "ride" and got scared to go down the slide. From the conversation with her Dad it sounds like she cried alot... =( They were leaving to go to Auntie Cricket's when I called. Kelly was trying to spend about 80 of his tickets. =)
