We did a ton of things while we were out there...we had dinner a few nights with his family. On Monday we drove north to visit Ben's mom (which in my opinion was a disaster afterwards but just my opinion I guess, Ben was glad to get to see her). We hung out at the hotel most of Tuesday and Weds. Weds we both got burnt really bad at the pool. Mine was really bad on my legs and Ben's was on his back. We also went to a western themed town called Rawhide Weds evening, we took "old time" photos which were fun - we were going to eat there but it was a long wait and expensive! Thursday morning we went to the Phoenix Zoo which was a very nice but so so hot by 11 am. Thursday evening we went to the dog tracks with his great aunt and uncle. That was very interesting but a good time! Friday we had another dinner with the family which was nice. And then before we knew it, it was time to leave Saturday. Minus our rental car and Ben's mom I would say the vacation was the best I have ever had! It was so sad to leave Ben's family out there but we are already planning a return trip in April 2009. :)
In other news....lets see work is crazy for both me and Ben. I had a huge mid year meeting (whole company including our field sales people) are required to attend. I do the planning for our business team meeting, which includes ordering lunches and agenda planning. It's just a crazy time of the year. I can't wait for it to be over! Also, I have applied for another position in our dept, mostly to get away from my boss at this point. We have been clashing quite a bit lately and I come out of all of my monthly 1x1's very upset. I just can't deal with him anymore. He seemed to take the news that I was applying very well - he said he could see me in that position. So keep your fingers crossed for me!! I want this position pretty bad, I already do some of the work that the position requires so it would be learning just a few new things. I am excited about the possibiltiy. I am hoping to have completed the interview and know the outcome before the aforementioned mid year meeting. Ben has been doing really well at work but just working a lot. Other then work things are pretty calm.
We are cooking out today at our house for July 4th. My parents and our friends Kyle and Liz are coming over. I better be going now so I can get ready for people to come over but see pictures below from our trip!
