Random Things

Our week in Colorado was full of work and play :) I went to the office every day to do some training with 2 of our new team members. If you know me at all, you know that I get pretty darn chatty when with people. So, while I might not have trained as much as maybe I should have, I did get a chance to learn a lot about our new team members and got to meet several individuals that I have been working with, but had not had the chance to meet face to face. The good thing is that our new team members are fantastic and I didn't really have much to teach them. They have been learning over the past few months so I was happy to give them some small projects. I need to reduce some of my workload...but anyway..

It was nice to stay with Jennie and her family and meet my newest neice! She looks so much like Brooke - it is crazy! I will post some pictures soon! We got some snow while we were out there and Kasey wasn't really sure what to think of it. hehe! Katie wanted to build snowman and roll around in it and what not. But it melted far too quickly. Shucks!

The kids were amazing during the trip. Their schedules had changed dramatically and they were shuffled to different places every day for day care. They did WELL! We didn't get as much sleep during the nights as we would have liked since all 3 of us shared a bed. I love to snuggle with my kids, but they don't love to snuggle with each other, so they kept trying their best to shove me off the bed. It was great!

It was so nice to spend time with friends and family. I love going into the office and spending time with my coworkers. It gets tough not being able to see them all the time. But, I have been telecommuting for over 4 years now, so I am pretty used to it.

Katie's eczema flared up pretty bad while we were out there. I suspect that the dry air played a pretty big part. Her skin had some pretty bad spots and it felt like sandpaper. BLAH! I wish they had some sort of wonder cream that would keep it away! Her 3 year well child appt is this week and I am going to aks the doc if he can prived some more helpful hints...maybe see if we can be referred to an allergist or something. I am also a bit concerned about her pale pale skin! She is like a ghost! She spends hours out in the sun almost every day and she has no color. It just seems odd to me.

We were able to attend church while out there. I always enjoy going to church out there. I feel like Pulpit Rock is really our home church. I know we only attended there for a short time while we lived out there, but I just feel so welcome there and Armin is such a wonderful speaker! Scott is such a wonderful musician and his song selection is always perfect! That might be the biggest thing I miss about Colorado (other than family and friends of course!!)
