Going to the Big 'D'
Well this weekend I am off to Dallas for our company meeting and I am really excited! First because I've never been to Dallas and also because I am going out on Friday night with my old Sugarland pals - who I KNOW like to have a good time! So wish me happy travels - I'll be back in Houston on Saturday afternoon.
Bill is going to dinner with his Dad on Friday and then golf with Russell on Saturday. Saturday night we (Russell, Jill, Bill and I) are going to Escalante's for dinner....I can't wait...MEXICAN!!
Other than that, we are still trying to make up our minds about wedding plans. Nothing is set in stone yet....Macon or Houston.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!
Love you all-

Home at Last!
All I can say is we are FINALLY home! Friday, I flew to Atlanta (surprisingly my flight was not more than 20 minutes late) and met Natalie, Jason, Dara and Reece at the Tavern and the 6 of us ate dinner - and it was SO good to see them!!
Then Saturday we started the LONG drive to Houston, around 10:30am and we finally got here around 2am. It would have been closer to Midnight but we got stopped for an hour and 1/2 on the interstate...like dead stopped...with the car turned off. And with being so close to the house, that was not fun at all....but we made it.
Also...Saturday night Bill and I got a call about 10pm EST from Natalie telling us that her and Jason....GOT ENGAGED!!!! YEA!!!! We just want to say congratulations again and how happy we are about it! We love Jason and they are a very good match so SSI here we come!!!!
Other than that, Bill is running errands this week while I'm at work and he starts work next Monday. We are also going to meet with 2 reception site places this week in hopes of trying to figure out where we want to have it. We are also possibly looking at the Houstonian Hotel....
Well I hope everyone has a fantastic week!

Bridesmaid's Dress!
I hope everyone is having a great week. I don't have much time to write but I have settled on my bridesmaid's dresses and I wanted you all to see. And, in case I haven't talked to you about it, Natalie will be my Maid of Honor and Dara will be my one and only Bridesmaid. :)
Note also, that this dress will be in black (not yellow like the pic) and in keeping with our black and white theme, they will both wear pearl necklaces, pearl stud earrings and black peep toe heels.
Enjoy!

Bill's Last Day at Skanska
Hip Hip Hooray!!! There is a lot going on this week...
Well today is Bill's Last Day at Skanska so I know he is happy but also sad to be leaving the people he worked with. He has officially told everyone that he will not be transferring to Skanska in Houston, but taking the job with JE Dunn and starting on March 3rd. Yea!
I am flying to Atlanta Friday night - I arrive around 7:40 - and then Bill and I are making the drive to Houston on Saturday. Depending on how he feels and how tired I am from driving, we may or may not go the full distance. It is very probable that we will stop somewhere and finish the drive on Sunday morning.
In wedding news, I went to look at a reception site last night...yikes!....and have successfully crossed that venue off my list. It was not in a good part of town (which I didn't know) and the furnishings were old to put it mildly. So tonight I am having dinner with my future Father-in-law to discuss his side of the guest list and wedding plans and possible reception sites.
Other than that, I am just ecstatic that Bill will finally be here for good this weekend and we can start wedding planning together!
Also, a lot of people have asked about our schedule for the next month or so and the following is what we have on tap so far:
Feb. 29th & Mar. 1st - I will be in Dallas for a company meeting.
Mar. 22nd & Mar. 23rd - Bill and I will be in Austin for Easter.
Mar. 29th & Mar. 30th - Bill and I will be in Austin for Lawson's birthday party.
Apr. 4th, 5th & 6th - Bill and I are going with Russell and Jill to Dallas.

What a Weekend!
Well last weekend was eventful to say the least for Bill and I. He came in on Thursday and brough me chocolates and red tulips for Valentine's Day with a wonderfully sweet card...little did I know I was going to pay for it the rest of the weekend...
Bill was sick as a dog the rest of the weekend, starting Thursday night. He has Acute Bronchitis and was running anywhere from 100 to 102 fever all weekend. Saturday night we finally went to St. Luke's Med Center Clinic and got him some good drugs and cough medicine so we hope he is on the road to recovery.
He changed his flight info so he's not heading back to Atlanta until tomorrow morning so hopefully today he can rest and sleep while I'm at work. Keep your fingers crossed he gets to feeling better...this is a big week...he is driving out here for GOOD!!
Other than staying at home and taking care of him, we didn't do much of anything. I cleaned and washed clothes and he slept a lot and we watched movies. Pretty exciting stuff...
In wedding news, we had our first major wedding discussion this weekend and it has pretty much been decided that we WILL get married this November (exact date is unknown) and we WILL be getting married in Houston. We will have exact details by the end of March, if not sooner, as I am going this week to start looking at reception sites. Wish me luck!
Have a great week!

Happy 'Almost' Valentine's Day!
Well this has definitely been a great week. Not only am I still on a high from getting engaged last weekend but my new job - Medical Clinic of Houston is GREAT! The people out here are super friendly which makes for a very jovial jobsite. So as you can tell, I am extremely excited about the new job and even glad that I was transferred from Sugar Land.
Other than that, Bill comes to Houston tomorrow; his flight lands at 5:30 CST so I will be leaving work promptly at 4:30 tomorrow so I can have time to go home and change before meeting him at his Dad's house. For Valentine's, I'm going to cook dinner (flank steak, hashbrown casserole and green beans :) - I know your jealous!) and stay at home.
Friday, I am taking off work to go get my Texas tags and Texas driver's license...I will be official!! The rest of the day, Bill and I are going by JE Dunn to fill out some paperwork for him (maybe) and I might bring him by MCH and show him my new site. The rest of the weekend will be filled with WEDDING PLANNING! I'm very excited so I can't wait for Bill to be here permanently.
I hope you all have something fun planned for this weekend. :)
Love-

We're Engaged!!
So, as of Saturday night, Bill and I are engaged!! He flew in from Atlanta and surprised me on Saturday. I was supposed to have dinner with Russell and Jill at the Capital Grille, however, when I arrived, Bill was sitting there waiting for me! We had an amazing dinner and then later that night, at our suite at the Westin, he asked me to marry him. It was wonderful and I was completely shocked! I had no idea - thanks to Bill, Russell and Jill who are very good liars!! We are so excited and cannot wait to start planning once he moves here permanently. T-minus 12 days!!
This morning Bill is headed back to Atlanta and I am at my new project, the Medical Clinic of Houston which consists of a Clinic & Office Building as well as a parking garage - approx. 20M and I will be here until March of 2009.
I hope everyone else had a great weekend as well and we can't wait to see and talk to everyone!

More Change
Well the latest and greatest is that I'm leaving my Hospital project in Sugar Land and going to work on another project by the Medical Center. Apparently there was a PE out there who quit and they need someone with experience to come in and take over. So, I am pretty excited about it because it will be a lot better opportunity for me. I will be the main PE out there and will have another Engineer under me so in that respect it will be better. I am going to miss my peeps out at SLEH (St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital) though...but at least I will be an honorary employee at this site which means I'll still be invited to the Happy Hour's!!
Other than that, Bill gave his notice to HR and his boss yesterday and right now his last day at Skanska will be 2.20.08. Hopefully he won't have to work all of that notice out but if he does, then he'll be in Houston the weekend of the 22nd. FOR GOOD! You don't even know how excited I am about that.
Well, I hope all of you are having a good week and I'll update you on the new jobsite on Monday (my first day there).

A GREAT Weekend - Except for the Patriots
Well the only word to sum up this weekend is - WONDERFUL! Russell and I surprised Bill at the airport on Friday afternoon and then we went to pick up Jill and went to Houston's for dinner. Dinner was delicious and I was so happy to have Bill back in Houston. Saturday, Jill and I went and shopped while Russell and Bill went on a golfing excursion - that lasted all day. And I got the cutest plates and mugs from Pottery Barn! Saturday night we went to McCormick and Schmicks for dinner - just the two of us on our date and it too was fantastic. Then yesterday was Mr. T's birthday so we took him to lunch and went to his house after for a bit to visit so that was fun because usually Bill is not in town for his birthday so I know he enjoyed it.
And then last night, watching the poor Patriots. I don't even want to talk about how pitiful Tom looked. It was awful. But oh well - football is over for this season.
With that being said, Bill is on his way back to Atlanta and will fly back to Houston, next Thursday on Valentine's Day! Then hopefully the next week he will drive out here for good. Keep your fingers crossed! I hope you all had a great weekend too. Talk to you soon.
