Back from TechEd

Well, I’m back from a GREAT week at Microsoft TechEd 2011.  I had a great time and learned a ton!  I know, what a way to talk about a conference of geekdom!  🙂  I stayed in the Ritz Carlton in Atlanta and it was a wonderful hotel.  The staff was great and I slept pretty

Sarah Band Concert

Tonight, Sarah had her final band concert of the year at Metea, and she performed wonderfully as well.  Unfortunately, I missed this one as well due to the TechEd conference in Atalanta.  I was bummed about that one as well.  Angela got a couple of pictures, but they were really blurry due to the boys

Brittany Orchestra Concert

Tonight Brittany had her final Metea Orchestra concert of the year and it was awesome!  Unfortunately, I wasn’t there to hear it as I am at TechEd right now, but I sure wanted to be there, and was bummed when I found out I would be missing it.  They did a GREAT job!  Angela didn’t

Today Sarah took her AP Calculus Test!  She felt VERY good about it and hopes to get a strong 4 if not a 5.  We’ll keep our fingers crossed!  She should get some good college credit out of this one!

20 Years!!!

Today marks the BIG 20 year mark for  Angela and me!  Wow!  How time has flown.  It seems like yesterday that we got married, and now it’s been 20 years, 5 kids later, and a few gray hairs.  OK, more than a few gray hairs…  🙂  We are planning a 20th anniversary get-away when we

Today Sarah took her AP Psychology Test!  Let’s hope all the studying paid-off!  🙂  She didn’t think it was too hard, but has no idea on how she may have done.  We’re all keeping our fingers crossed!
