Home from Denver

We got back from Denver this afternoon. We had a great time! Now I have to try to remember all the things we did so that I can write about them here... more later.

What? I have a blog?

I keep thinking about this blog, and I keep not writing anything. Don't know why exactly. A short recap of the last couple weeks:
- July 5 party: fireworks + lots of food + Rock Band = fun
- A busy week at work = hectic
- Deschutes' new restaurant last Friday with Adam and Shelly = yummy
- Dinner and games with the Roses last Saturday = long time, no see
- Another really busy week at work = thank goodness for vacation

We did happy hour with Rey and Greg on Friday then came back to our house and played Rock Band. Saturday was a failure of a day. Let's just say there are some crazy people in this world. Today we'll probably be doing laundry and some last-minute clean-up around the house in preparation for our trip to Denver on Tuesday.

That's all for now.

Indy

After a very lazy morning and afternoon (with Marc being the sweetest guy ever by making me breakfast), we took advantage of some free tickets to finally see the new Indiana Jones movie today. It was entertaining, but it wasn't the same as the first ones.

A couple nights ago, we had an AWESOME thunder and lightning storm, which is quite unusual for Portland. Even though it woke me up in the middle of the night, I loved it!

Let's see... now we're home again and Marc's making dinner--bacon-wrapped sausages! Yummy! Everything really is better with bacon. Tomorrow we're going to a 5th of July party which should also turn into a Rock Band party, so that'll be fun. Hope everyone reading this has or had a safe and happy 4th!

The Cat's Out of the Bag

Okay, okay... so here's the very exciting to me and probably not so exciting to anyone else news: I got a promotion! I'm now a supervisor (of only one person, but hey--that's a good way to get my feet wet in management, right?)! I'm still on the same team, and I'm still working with our knowledgebases, so all the things I love about my job shouldn't be changing much. I'll just get to experience some new challenges along with all that normal stuff.

Speaking of work, this short holiday week has been way busier than I expected. It's made the week fly by, and I can't believe that tomorrow is already Thursday. I don't think we have any plans for Friday, but we have a party to go to on Saturday and I'm going to a book club get-together on Sunday. Next week is really busy after work. We start tennis lessons on Monday, I have a hair appointment (bye bye for now red highlights) on Tuesday, more tennis on Wednesday, and the food bank on Thursday. I'm expecting the next couple weeks at work to continue being busy, so I have a feeling I'll be quite frazzled and ready for our Denver vacation later this month!
