It seems like that's all the excitement we have going on here :) and it is obviously the only thing I have really been blogging about lately. The truth of the matter is that we are simply hanging out, going through our normal day-to-day, and the rodeo seems to be the biggest thing stirring up our normalcy. We love the rodeo though, so we don't complain too much!
On a separate note {and because I will definitely be writing about the rodeo a little later in this post}, Troy started a new project last week and is now working on a very large job, site being Queensland, Australia. Of course he is still stationed here in the Houston office, but it looks like Troy will get some opportunities to make some shop/supplier visits over the course of the project, which means he {we} will hopefully get to visit Germany and Australia some time in the near future. A girl can get excited about that, right?! All in all, the transition went great and he is enjoying the newness of it all - bigger orders, more responsibility. I won't say too much here, but I am very proud of my hard-working hubby. He is really making a name for himself at Bechtel and has earned a lot of people's respect. I know that only the best is to come for him...
In the meantime, Troy has directed a lot of free time toward training Tess to retrieve for the next hunting season. We went out on Friday to practice with her {I just snapped photos} and she is learning a lot. She loves running around, fetching the dummies. I think it probably wouldn't matter though if she retrieved anything more than a stick the first time they actually 'hunt' together; Troy will just be happy to have here there, for the whole experience of it. Tess is definitely a daddy's girl though, what can I say? He did set it sights on her the second we stepped out of the car at the breeder's!
Other than some Tess-training, we did a lot of movie-watching this weekend -- we saw Crazy Heart, The Hurt Locker, and Alice in Wonderland in 3D, and they were all amazing. We highly recommend you see them all.
Ok...I warned you - here it comes, the rodeo part of this post...
Saturday afternoon Troy went to play golf with Patrick and us girls went to {where else?} the rodeo to sample some award-winning wines, eat some not-so-healthy carnival food, and check out some of the exhibits and whatnot. It was a lot of fun -- beautiful weather -- and as always, there were many, many laughs.
The Oscars wrapped up our nice weekend and we look forward to another eventful week: concert on Tuesday, a visit from my sister this weekend, and a few shenanigans to get into I'm sure. Have a great week everyone!
