This week was pretty normal. It was a short one since we had Monday off for President's Day. I have some new responsibilities at work that have kept me busy. Our Criminal Justice Planner left the COG and our program manager isn't sure what she is going to do as far as hiring since we have some other programs possibly on the horizon. So I am now working with Criminal Justice. This week I have been helping people with their grant applications. I'll be doing that for another week or two and then we will have our scoring meetings in March and April to prioritize those applications. Then the work is pretty much done for the Criminal Justice end of things so it should be pretty easy.
I am heading to Corpus Christi this Sunday for a conference on school planning and safety. It should be pretty good. I'll get back Wednesday afternoon. Darrin's not coming with me so I guess I am abandoning him for few days. I think he'll be alright.
Hope you have a great weekend!!

Such a nice vacation...
We had a really nice vacation last week in Big Bend National Park. We stayed in the lodge in the Chisos Basin so we weren't really roughing it with a bed and a heater. We hiked every day and got to see many different areas of the park. Big Bend is very diverse with lots of mountains, deserts and the Rio Grande river.
We did one hike that was 2.5 miles one way. It was uphill most of the way. We were carrying Darrin's 4x5 camera (It makes a negative that is 4 x 5 inches) and tripod so that made the trip a little hard. But it was fun. Darrin said I was trying to cash in on his life insurance but I think he enjoyed the hike no matter what he says. I took a couple of pictures and will post them when I get the CD from Darrin.
My Dad was still feeling pretty bad so he mostly relaxed the whole week. But he thinks the best place in the world to recooperate is Big Bend so he was enjoying himself anyways.
Darrin is working out at Avalon a lot right now. The studio has been pretty slow lately so he has been building some steps for the gazebo out of concrete and brick. They are looking very nice and match the brick pathway leading up to the gazebo. We have to get all our projects done before our wedding in April. Avalon will really look nice then.
I hope you have a great rest of your week.
