Travel, Moving, and Aggie Football

It has been an extremely busy last few weeks therefore writing has been impossible.  Thankfully I found an amazing place to live in the nick of time, two days after signing the lease I was back at the airport for a quick trip to Philadelphia for work.  It was an interesting trip, the meeting went excellently, but I single-handily killed every type of electronic device I touched.  This is never good because I am normally the tech savvy one of our group.  During the presentations the first day I spilled water on my computer and killed it, completely shutting down the presentations that were going on.  Thankfully my coworker and I prepared for every type of disaster, therefore I grabbed the back up computer and got it up and running.  Needless to say I didn't drink any water after that.  Later that evening when we had a group outing my phone died, talk about feeling completely helpless.  Its amazing how much we rely on those little devices, I couldn't even tell you what time it was...helpless.  Thankfully the rest of the meeting was hazard free, pretty sure it was due to that fact that I killed everything that we needed.  A couple of days later my phone came back on and our IT group was able to fix my computer.

Thursday morning I flew back into Houston to finish out the work week and get ready for the weekend.  Friday night Chris and I went to his roommates birthday party.  It was a fun evening with lots of good food.  Saturday morning Chris and I headed to College station for an A&M Football game.  It was a great game and my boys won so that's all that matters.  This was Chris first time to go to an Aggie football game with me, lets just say he saw my football season personality.  The best part of the game was my little sister got to sit with me!!!  I love football season because I get to see Tommy and Christy on a regular basis.  Now we just need Mom and Dad to move to College Station!

Work has been very busy with lots of new projects cropping up.  I can not begin to express how blessed I am.  Not only do I love my job, but I work with a fantastic group of people.

Moving day was insane, but somehow everything fell into place.  The week before the move I spent boxing up everything I own.  I don't know how I got all of that stuff in my tiny apartment.  Since I have acquired some large sets of furniture I decided to hire movers...probably the best idea I have ever made!

Friday morning rolled around and it was Move day, not something I was looking forward to at all.  The movers were set to come between 12 and 2 so I made sure I had everything packed up.  Well 2:30 came and went then 2:45, 2:50 at this point I was becoming very agitated.  I had scheduled all the utility companies to come after four assuming I would be at the new place by then.  I also was going to a concert that evening with Chris and some friends and needed to be moved by six.  I called the movers and of course they were running late.  3:25 the movers arrived and thankfully they were excellent, they had everything moved out and into the new place in two hours!  Even better the utility companies were late so everyone arrived at the new place at the same time.  Chaos ensued, the neighbors were mad because the moving truck blocked them in and the gas, electrical, and cable guys all showed up at the same time.  There were so many people in and out of the house, I am not even sure if they were workmen, or just random strangers checking out the new digs.  Thankfully everything got installed properly and I am up and running....well sort of!!! I believe the thermostat is broken on the air condition, because it runs until the compressor freezes over!  I called the management company and hopefully that will get worked out soon, other than that I am loving the place. 

The rest of the weekend turned out nicely in between unpacking, I went to a concert, had friends in town, went to a kickball game, a friends birthday party and watched some great football.  By the way, since I know you are all dying with curiosity, the Aggie's won again this week!  Whoop  I hope everyone is having a wonderful beginning of the week.  Don't work to hard! 

Until next time...
