Kermit gets a slideshow

Added a slide show to my page. Kermit (read the BEST FREAKING MUPPET) has been with our family since we went to Disneyland. We picked him up outside the Muppet 3-D Adventure. Now Kermit goes all most anywhere with us. He is about to make his second trip onto the Havasupai reservation. This time he will get a good picture in front of the waterfalls. Wish him well. I will add more of his photos in the time to come.

Random place to eat

The standard practice in our office for someone leaving is a going away lunch. The person in question (read, me) gets to pick the location. I have heard all different kinds of locations for past engagements such as, Spaghetti Factory, various mexican places, and other places that are specific to the Phoenix area.

Now, enter my decision. I could have picked a restaurant that is only in Phoenix, or I could have gone the route of a nice place that I might not get to try again. This opens up a large realm of possibilities for my decision. Beth and I don't go out to eat very much, and when we do we almost always go to Old Chicago. But there is not one near the office so that was out of the question.

Now, to my decision. T.G.I Friday's. That's right, off all the places that I could pick I went with Fridays. As you read this you may be saying, "Why?" So let me tell you. This happens to be the Fridays located at Chase Field where the Dbacks play. Since one of my favorite things to do out here is go to a game I couldn't think of a better place to have my "last supper" of sorts. I'll try to get some pictures from the lunch and post on here after the fact. It is not till July, but this just popped into my head.

The Start of my Blog

As we are coming to the end of our time in Arizona, I thought I would start a blog to let everyone know what I was up to and our plans. Right now Beth is in TN visiting family after going to her friends wedding. She is bringing her little brother back with her to spend a little time in the desert.

We are getting close to our backpacking trip into the Havasupai reservation. Beth and I have been looking forward to this for a year now. We have been putting quite a few miles on our hiking shoes in preparation for this camping trip. It is one of the most impressive places that I have ever seen. The best part about planning this trip is that Scott suggested that next year we should take a family trip back into the reservation. I am hoping we can get as much of our family to go possible.

As everyone knows, our move to KY is coming up fast. June is going to be a really busy month for us. We are hiking to Supai, having our kool (that's right, kool with a K) friends from Denver in for a weekend visit, going on a house hunting trip, and trying to make it to the Salt River as much as we can in between. We are going to spend a week in Louisville trying to find a house. Here is hoping that everything works out.

I'll try to keep this as updated as I can. Till next time.
