My 200th post... Wow. I'm blogging a lot more than I used to. I thought it would be a good time to put a little plug-in for Kent. He has been Dallas all week for his company's fiscal year kick-off. We weren't sure if he was going to get a ticket there or not because they were doing layoffs, and didn't make anything official. Nothing better than letting your employees wonder if they're still going to have a job or not, right?
Apparently (Kent must have forgotten to tell me), Kent was nominated for the President's Club. The sales person Kent supports gets the highest sales in the company annually, and always gets an award from the President's Club. It usually comes with a trip and a gift. Last year's trip was and all expenses paid trip for 2 to Hawaii for a week. 14 sales people won a place in the Club this year, and 8 non-sales people won. Kent was among the 8 non-sales people that won. He got a cool Apple MacBook (yay! we'll finally have an Apple in the house!), some Godiva truffles, and a paper to fill out to send something to the spouse. The company president isn't sure if there's going to be enough money to do a trip this year, I'm hoping they'll find it somewhere (maybe the pres's bonus).
Kent was also gone last week. He and some of his friends from his younger days (he's known at least some of them since elementary school) went on their annual guys' trip. This year they went to Forest Lakes again. They took their quads, rode all day, camped at night and did whatever it is that guys do. Oh, it snowed on them too. I told him the weather report so he took 2 sleeping bags and a tent. He was the only one who didn't get wet I think. Here are some of the pictures from their trip...
I love water pictures so I had to include this. Thanks to Steve for taking pictures!
Left to right- Kent Noorda, Wes Lueck, Jason Sanders, Tim Maddock, Steve Thomas
Kent and Tim trying to warm up by the fire. Kent is not a fan of the snow or being cold. I imagine he was thinking how jealous I would be when I learned that they got snow.
Wes (I think), Tim and Kent. I really have no idea what they're doing there... although I do have a pretty creative mind, and some funny ideas...
Here's a picture of the area where they stayed. So pretty. I love the snow.

BTW - thanks for taking off the comment moderation. My fingers were getting annoyed, just a little. It's not like they make it easy. Number, Letter, etc.
