Where did I leave off...Vacation - yes.
Dinner on day 3 was quite interesting we met some of Rich's high school friends for dinner and great Mexican restaurant. One girl Rich dated in High School but she then married his best bud.
Day 2
Went to the San Antonio Zoo, rode a train through a near by park and downtown to the Alamo. Did some shopping. Dinner that evening was with cousins Julie, Bobby and their daughter Samantha.
Day 3
Sea World all day - we got in the water with the most amazing creatures - beluga whales. they are sweet, soft, squishy and talented. An experience we will never forget.

We were beginning to get tired from a non-stop weekend. Started with a trip to the San Antonio Spurs store, then to the Dallas Cowboy training camp. The last day of camp and guess who shows up - TO - I am not a big fan of his but Texas loves him - he got the most cheers every time he caught the ball. We then headed to the Riverwalk and took a boat ride through downtown.
Day 5
Return home - flight was great and our limo driver Miguel was awesome.
Since we have been home we have been non-stop ourselves. Rich is busy with sports softball/football. In fact last week he went to Jackson, Mississippi for the "Black" World Series of Softball.
We went to an exhibition game USA blue vs. USA red (the team I was rooting for lost). Been attending the UNLV football games, we have lost both home games so far.
Work has been crazy - operating plans, budgeting capital, operating, FTE's and rooms - all due this month for the 1st draft - then the budgets will be kicked back to us for further revisions due in two weeks. The worse part is that I may get more responsibility added. A particular area that I do not like but the job needs to get done - I will move forward.
Matt just started a new job - working for a company called Alexander Installation at Wynn. This is a incredible opportunity. He will have to give up working two jobs but will be making a lot more money.
Nolan is in soccer again - we are coaching his team. He also is taking band in the 6th grade. I am so excited - I went out and rented him the best of the best trumpet and after the first week he took his trumpet to school - it came up missing. So this is the story - Rich talked to the band teacher - he says you must fill out an incident report - I talked to the Dean's office and they state you need to fill out a report with the school police - I then talked to Family Music Center and they say they need a copy of NLV police report. I talked to the Dean's office to find out what they are doing about the incident - nothing - it is a good thing you got theft insurance - huh - unbelievable - so I suggested that since there is only one band teacher why can't he ask all students to open their cases and inspect there instruments. Nolan's trumpet is silver - not too many people will have a silver trumpet. So they are now searching for his trumpet - we are hoping it turns up soon.
Rich got a new car - 2007 Charger R/T inferno red V8 - 100% muscle.
Dental - one word: anxiety. I stress myself out each time I go the the dentist - I have known my dentist for 14 years yet I still have a hard time. First it was a cleaning - then a crown - I broke a tooth, then I had to go get the bite adjusted after the temp crown was put on - then I had to go back for the permanent crown. Dr. Kinard says I am "hyper-sensitive" - yep - a big wimp. Now I will have to go back in a couple of weeks to have a filling re-done.
