We visited Davis for President's Day weekend. A little skiing, lots of friends and lots of fun! This month included our annual trip to Davis, WV for President’s Day Weekend. This year we ended up inviting Tom & Tracy, along with Brandon and Diane (who came along last year). We arrived on a Thursday night around 8pm and enjoyed some white chicken chili along with getting settled into the new house that had been renovated over the last year and a half. As much fun at the trip was this year, it was definitely missing one key factor, significant snow and colder temperatures! The resort is pretty good at making snow, but if it is 40 degrees outside, it can be a little difficult. The weekend included some Siriani’s pizza, a day-hike to Blackwater Falls, playing corn-hole with 30 mph winds, meeting Julie’s friend Jay, Anna winning a “winner-take-all” poker tournament, everyone being initiated to Dutch Blitz, listening to a blue-grass band at the Purple Fiddle, and a few shots of Wild Turkey and Tequila!
We didn’t end up skiing on Sunday due to rain, so we ended up doing some napping, hiking and drinking. We enjoyed a nice meal over at Kathy’s along with fajita night at Randy and Anna’s house. One of the funnier facts of this trip was that even though Randy and Anna had the house finished and completed, they had to stay at Kathy’s because of all the friends that Debbie and Julie brought. Friday was the best day for skiing and Diane and I graduated to doing some double-black diamonds! I will say that my legs started to get tired on the second day so maybe that may have been a little aggressive.
My 3 year anniversary was at Hurco this month, and I was given a promotion. I am now the “Corporate Treasury Manager” and along with the Accounts Payable department reporting to me, I am going to be in-charge of the hedging for our foreign currency and attempt to get more centralized cash management for the company. What I enjoyed about this promotion was that there are times in your career that you may think that you need to leave your current job to get that next promotion and the management at Hurco recognized that and decided they wanted me to stick around.
The 2nd weekend in February was Laura’s baby shower, so Dad, Pete, Chris, Mark and I went to Pat Flynn’s for a beer and to watch some sports. The shower went well and I think that Pete and Laura really want to have the baby here and get started on the next phase of their life, as a family.
Last weekend Deb got sick very quickly and randomly on Saturday evening. Initially, we thought it could have been food related, but as the evening went on, it appeared to just be the flu. We decided to call the doctor, which happened to be Beth, and she called in a prescription at CVS. My favorite part of picking up the medicine was that the pharmacist said, “Do you have any questions?” I wanted to say, but didn’t, “Apparently you haven’t looked at the last name on the pill bottle and our credit card!”
Well, we are looking forward to a busy 3 month ahead with trips to Utah, Texas, Chicago, California, and New York. All of that with some busy schedules at work should allow us to keep us occupied for awhile!
