Week 1 of Mexico

This past week went by so fast! I was down in Mexico for work as we are working a major project that is now in one of the most critical phases. Needless to say it was working basically all day every day. I managed to have time Thursday to go to dinner with the two others that were down working on the project as well, but meetings and emails took up all the rest of the time.

During the trip, I got to participate in a real Mexican fire drill. We did get warned about it, so it wasn't a surprise when the alarms started going off. It was interesting to see how many people actually work in the factory, but it was uber hot outside so I was glad that it only lasted about 20 minutes.

It's not my favorite to travel, but because of the time change I ended up being up as early as Eric finally so I got to talk with him in the mornings as he was driving to work. That was good because I didn't have too much time later to talk.

Amazingly, my flight out Sunday went perfectly no issues. And coming back Friday, I got into Dallas just fine and was amazed as I always have problems with airplanes. Well, it was just coming. As we were in the air to Denver, we got told we had to divert to Colorado Springs as the Denver airport was closed and we needed to refuel. So I have now spent an hour there. I called Eric on the ground and he said they were having rain and a tornado warning. There was also lightning so we had to just chill. When we finally made it to Denver we sat for at least a half hour waiting for a gate because there were not enough ground crews available due to the airport having been closed. I was just so glad that I wasn't trying to catch a connection.

Eric got to go out with the build crew for the whole week and build awesome waterfalls. Saturday he had to go to work as they had been delayed by the rain on Friday. So I went down with him as I hadn't seen him all week long. I chilled and read baby books. Afterwords we chilled in Denver and got more baby stuff. We got our cute Sunshine light and a car rug/playmat. We had fun playing with the one toy car we have on it. Baby was jealous and was kicking because he wanted to play with us to.

Oh BOY!!!!

Hello! Anyone out there? Yeah we are not good at writing on this thing, but what do you expect? So our lives since the last post have changed... a lot, needless to say Stephanie is 22 weeks along this week with our little baby BOY due October 7th!!! Many of you probably know this, but some may not, so there ya go, were going to be parents! I have finished my spring semester at CSU, one full year done! I survived Spanish, which does not mean I can speak Spanish, just that I can tell you that carrots are orange and other things like it that will not help me in landscaping fields, that is unless I run into someone who doesnt know what color carrots are, or that the weather is hot in the summer, then I could inform them of the obvious. Anyways I am doing a summer internship at Rocky Mountain Waterscape check them out here. I have been cleaning and maintaining ponds, but I will be starting on builds soon. Stephanie is still working like crazy at Seagate, they are sending her to Mexico twice in June, so those will be long weeks, but gets more and more excited the more her belly grows!

We will keep you updated on the baby(hopefully)

Eric
