Last week, I spent a couple days in Charlotte, NC to attend a conference and product show for work. It was well worth the trip - I learned about new products and received tips that might come in handy for future designs.

Peter and I each had a flight lesson today. This was a gift for his adoption day, but it also served as an introduction to see if we would like flight training. I absolutely loved it! It was amazing. I thought I would be more nervous, and I was pretty nervous - especially when the instructor said I was going to control the wheel and the climb during take off. Yikes! But it was a lot of fun. I got to keep some measure of control over the plane the entire time. We climbed up to 3500 feet and did a few turns. We were up for about 30 minutes before turning around and landing.

I have also added pictures from Christmas in downtown Austin.  It was a lot of fun being so close to the lake, the Zilker tree, and some really good food . . . all walking distance from the room.

I have uploaded some pictures from Peter's and my visit to El Paso last month.  We took the tram up to the moutain.  It was a little chilly, but oh what a view!

Yesenia and I drove to Austin for Thanksgiving for the third annual celebration with Wayne and Peter. Mom and Lorain also flew in along with Peter's parents. We really had a great time and enjoyed the awesome food. Can't wait till next year!

You can find our pictures in our photo album. If you have pictures you would like to add, email me and I will move the album to a place where we can all upload pictures.

After a pretty long absence, I have begun to upload some pictures and be a little more active on this site.

Yesenia and I recently (on Thanksgiving weekend) went to a wedding of one of her coworkers. I have posted a few of the pictures in our photo album here. You will also find some pictures of us with friends out to dinner, at my company Christmas Party, and at the Dallas Symphony from this weekend. We had a blast!

Peter was on World News with Charles Gibson last week. This comments were recorded the previous week, and we were not sure when it was going to air. We were able to get a copy from his office as we were out of town last week.

Last week, Yesenia and I took a rather late Honeymoon. Actually, I think it was perfectly placed, because after we got married, we focused on getting our house first. Now that we have accomplished that, we are accomplishing other goals.

First up, our Honeymoon. We went to Naples, Florida and spent four days playing in the Gulf of Mexico and across the southwest corner of Florida. It was really a beautiful area.

Sometimes, living in a neighborhood with lots of trees is not a good thing. We finally got some well needed rain this afternoon, but more fell than rain. The backyard neighbor has a huge tree that offers much shade in our backyard, and after the rain today, a large branch from his tree snapped off and fell into our yard. I guess there is a price to pay . . .
