Just returned from a trip out to Phoenix for five days, many expenses paid by my work, so that we could attend the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show - the Sloan brothers (my employers) had several different horses entered, and had the best showing of any group. Nice going guys.
Colin got to hang out with his cousins quite a bit, particularly Lily. They were joined at the hip whenever they were together, and Colin knows everyone’s name. The mere mention of Lily brought forth a huge smile and a stream of “Yeeyee, Yeeyee, Yeeyee!!!” (stringing multiple L sounds together is still a bit tough for him - give him a break, he’s only 1.5).
The weather was ridiculously nice - it hasn’t rained there in since October - and we got to spend some quality time with friends from work and the family, so I think a good time was had by all.
Everything was somewhat overshadowed by the prospect of the company moving out there, but things are still somewhat up in the air on that front…time will tell how it plays out.
