Hello All, I am so sorry that I have not kept this up on a daily basis but I was luck enough to get away for a few days and see the mountains. Work here is slowing down and we are just re checking out work for the most part and finishing up the last of the buildings. We got a lot of praise so I am hopeful that we will get more contracts and therefore I can travel some more! Wooo Hooo! I am waiting for that day to come. I also won a "Best Team" award, which is a little bit cheesy but I got a nice clock out of it hehe. As for this weekend, it was quite an adventure. I traveled with four co-workers who happen to all be boys...I sat in the middle seat of a Chevy cobalt for the entire trip. We went up to Ruidoso, New Mexico for two days and rented a cabin. It is about 3 hours north east of El Paso. The cabin was named Kozy Kabin, let met tell you it was freezing! It was fun to get out of the hotel though. The boys all went skiing on Saturday and I read my book in the lodge. It wa

So I am happy to report that we finally got to see some cool wildlife! We saw a coyote and a bunch of road runners. I have been trying to take a picture of them but they are just too fast for me! This weekend was fun. We went with our El Paso friends to Juarez, Mexico Friday night. We went to this restaurant that was like a dinner theatre and saw an amazing show with Mariachi's, dancers and a lasso guy! The food was so good and the drinks we never ending..and cheap.

So we are finally back in the land of El Paso . We are staying at a different and nicer hotel. There are even fireplaces and two tv's in our room. The work has been going by really quickly. Now that are know how things should be we work at a faster rate. There is even talk about come home early. We have not been going out that much because we have been having long work days, and I think we went out a lot last time. The cool thing about this hotel is that we can use the local gym, so we have been working out everyday and getting in shape for the half marathon in March! (what did I sign up for) We are sitting at happy hour at the hotel. free beer and wine and different food each night! Hope everyone is doing well at home! We have yet to see any cool wildlife! I want to see a snake or two!
