Paris
Just thought I would spice things up a little and put in some pictures. Here is one of the Eiffle Tower taken last year while we were in Paris.
Things happening
As Jess reminded me in an email this week my last post was from April and I really need to update my blog. So.....Houston has been very busy recently. Don is back at Mines, so the weekend trips to Denver have started back. Also I have a much expanded area at work and am no longer the "new girl". Since we have had so many people quit recently and we have a new hire start in August, I have been given an area that I am responsible for. Its not too active from an internal perspective (we aren't drilling a lot there) but I get loads of requests from outside parties so I spend a lot of time dealing with other parties. In addition to having more responsibilities and having my own area, effective Sept. 1 I got a promotion and 10% raise . Its pretty exciting considering I have only been here for 9 months.
This past week, for Labor Day weekend I went to Colorado to visit Don. We went to the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, and the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder. It was a lot of fun. Of course we also spent some time in Golden hanging out.
Tuesday, I was in OKC to testify before the Oklahoma Corporation Commission for work. It was pretty nerve-racking. I had to get sworn in and establish credentials, but pretty cool since now I can say I'm an expert witness.
This weekend, tonight actually, Don is here in Houston and we are going to the Symphony...its Opening Night so it should be pretty fun. The performance is from Carmen and other Spanish/Gypsy type music. I am so glad that it is once again theatre season and there are all kinds of things going on here. I am going to try to get tickets to the Opera, Ballet, and some plays (musicals of course). Well that about catches you up on what is going on here, its pretty boring outside work, which is where I spend the majority of my time right now. I'll try to be better keeping this blog up so ya'll can know whats happening.
