This week has sure been a busy one for me. My company here in Dallas sent me off for some software training in Ft. Collins Colorado for a week. So I flew off to Denver and then rented a car and drove an hour north to Ft. Collins. Well to my suprise Ft. Collins was a very pretty city. Lots of trees and pretty streets. It is a college town (Colorado State) so there was a really cool vibrant downtown. There were lots of people there at night strolling the streets and fun restaurants and clubs. I didn't get to do too much hanging out though. I was in training most of the time. I have decided that 3 days is plenty of training, but 5 days and your brain is in overload!! I just was so over it all by Friday, and I couldn't wait to get home. But I'm glad my company sent me, and I got the class and certification. It will be a big asset on my resume. I did notice some things about the people in Colorado. They all are riding bikes, running, hiking, etc.. There are very few overweight people there (completely opposite Texas!!!). I felt like a big ol slug, driving my rented subaru everywhere and watching them all on their bikes. (I did work out twice in the week so I wasn't too lazy.) Also it hit 90 Degrees and everyone was just dying from the heat there. I laughed as it was hot, but no humidity, and it cools down wonderfully at night. (it's 100 degrees with 70% humidity in Dallas right now.) In fact at night I had my jeans on cause it felt cold (I must be getting used to the heat of the south). A couple of people I was talking too just couldn't beleive I wasn't just dying in jeans from heat. Anyhow I had a good time, and a nice trip to Colorado. It was a very pretty place, and a great college town.
Just some countryside outside of town with the mountains in the distance.
More countryside out of town.
A picture up the downtown area. Lots of trees and old buildings and fun places to eat and have fun. A really cool and big old downtown area.
Woo Hoo the offices of Telvent Miner & Miner. The company I was doing my training with. It was a thrill a minute!!

Thanks for calling me! I'm only an hour away....Next time you come you better let me know!!!! We'll do dinner or something!!! Sounds like a busy, boring week of training though...
I would have never guessed Ft. Collins was the happening place! Glad you weren't stuck in a crappy place for a whole week. Hooray for the bikers! Don't you just want to jump on now and ride to work in your spandex?
Hey Brian,
Good to see you have a blog. I have wondered how you're doing. We don't get a whole lot of news from you guys.
Hi'ya, just thinking of you and wanting to send hugs. I love how we're scattered all around and able to keep track of the great things happening for all the cousins. It is hard to be away during sad times though. Love you, Em
