Go Tech!

Let's see what our team can do today!

Lubbock Floods!

So, as we're all focused on the east coast and hurricane Ike, Lubbock got 6 inches of rain from the west yesterday and flooded! It's true, anytime Lubbock got more than an inch, there were big puddles everywhere...making the walk across campus to the engineering key kind of interesting. Laura emailed me some pictures of the stadium. I really liked this one :) Could this mean a new sport for Texas Tech athletics?

Last Day at X-Fab!

Well Folks,
Looks like this is it. I'm going to grab my shoes from the smockroom and head out!
Adios!

Last Week in Lubbock!

This is my last week to live in Lubbock, TX. Also, my last week of work at X-Fab. I'm really excited about moving, but also a little nervous! I guess I won't actually have a home for a while, but that's ok. I can live out of a suitcase for a little while. :)

Getting Closer!

Yesterday (Oct. 29th) meant only 2 more months until the wedding!
...And today is even closer!

I'm excited! But, I'm also realizing that I absolutely HAVE to send out invitations ASAP.
It's going to get a little crazy as I try to wrap things up at X-Fab, try to find a new job, and move to Austin.

I'm getting closer to Leaving Lubbock.

Cat's Out of the Bag

I told my boss today that I'm moving to Austin. My last day at X-Fab will be November 30th!

I'm excited to be able to move and hopefully start a new job and work towards building The Kinney Ranch ;)
But really, God has blessed Brian and I a lot and big things are happening in our lives!
Brian got his job offer from American Constructors (the company he did his internship with last summer). I'm leaving later today for an interview in Austin with Air Products. Hopefully something will work out - I'd like to have a job in the semiconductor industry, but we'll see.

It feels nice to have things out in the open with my boss. I was scared to do it, but now, it feels more official and I can be more excited about my new life!

The Officle

It's not an Office.
It's not a Cubicle.
It's definitely an Officle.

Offices have ceilings, but cubicles don't have doors. I have thus created a new word that best encompasses my working environment: The Officle. It is as bad as it sounds.

The good news is that it's Friday again. In reality, I probably only have somewhere around 11 Fridays at X-Fab before I decide it's time for me to up and move to Austin.

The bad news is that I don't feel so hot. I've acquired a pretty serious sore throat and I'm just plain tired.

The good news is that tomorrow will be the one year anniversary of when Brian proposed. That's pretty exciting. And there will be only 105 more days until our wedding....only.

I know that's not so bad, but I'm ready to get out of here! I mean, would you want to work in an officle? :)
