How Would You Like To Go To Denver For A Few Days To Work?

That's what my manager called and asked me today. Always up for an adventure, I immediately said YES, then I decided to check the weather... What have I gotten myself into?!? I work outside. My southern ass is not used to highs in the teens. What was I thinking!?!?

Actually, it should be pretty cool. They are sending about a dozen of us out there to help out on the ramp. It'll definitely be an adventure. I fly out tomorrow and have a suitcase full of warm layers, long johns and even a jumpsuit. It'll be hard work in very cold conditions, but somehow I'm really excited about going.

Maybe I'll even get a chance to see a little of Denver.

In A Nutshell

It's funny how time just gets away from you. I feel like it was only weeks since I was in Charlotte last, but it has been months - two to be exact. I guess a lot has happened in that time (and in the four months that I have been home from England), but on a day-to-day basis my life is pretty dull. And that (along with internet access issues) is the reason that I haven't really posted.

The holidays were nice. Thanksgiving was a big party with thirty dinner guests and a few more for dessert. I loved being in town for both Hanukkah and Christmas. Although, I had to work on X-mas, so I dropped by my grandparents' house beforehand and hung out before work. My sister and brother-in-law drove down for a few days, which was really cool (I haven't seen them in two years!). I had to work on New Years' Eve, but made it home in time to drink some champagne with the 'rents.

I spent a week in Salt Lake City for training for my new job and have completed three weeks on the ramp. It's exciting and challenging (physically) and I like it. I'm not sure where this will lead, but for now I like that I am building muscle, dropping weight and getting an opportunity to travel.
