What Could Be Better

Man, I sure am doing horribly on keeping this thing updated recently. It's been busy, but then again, who hasn't been busy. The job is still interesting, even after a month, and I've been doing a little bit of new stuff every day, which has been good. This past week was especially hectic as one of the 3 guys on the team (including me) was out of the office for 4 days (that was not me). He was on an interview up near where his family lives, so hopefully he can get that job and like it and move up there to be with them. That meant, however, that I got to do a lot, and basically was more busy than I have been at any other point in my time there.

Soccer with Cedar Bluff has been going for about the past 3 weeks now as well. It's looking shaky at the moment as far as getting two teams goes. We've got 27 names of people that have showed up at some point, but only about 21 are regularly making it to practice. We need to have 30 consistently in order to have 2 teams, so hopefully we'll make it. Otherwise we'll have to cut a number of people, and that will not be any fun. Good thing I'm not the head coach that has to make the final decision though. Haha!

The thing that has been taking a lot of time up recently has been the planning of this 55+ dinner that our young professionals group is hosting. It's going to be a lot of fun, but Mandi and I are having to spend a lot of time getting things organized and finished up in order to get it moving. We're slowly getting there though, as we'll have invitations and stuff ready by tomorrow, and I'm working on the slideshow as we speak . I haven't ever used Windows Movie Maker, but it's a pretty handy little gadget, as far as basic video editing is concerned. Hopefully it'll turn out well in the end. The main thing will be getting pictures from all the couples attending to include in it, since the theme of the dinner is "Remember When...". So we're wanting pictures from their wedding and recent pictures as well at this Valentine's dinner. It should be good stuff.

And on a completely random note, how about them Giants? I caught the last 2 minutes of the game, but that was enough for me. I'm just glad they beat the Patriots. Then again, who, outside of Patriots fans, isn't? Note this day, as it'll probably be the only day that I talk about football.
