Excited

Well I'm about to head to the airport and fly to San Antonio for a work party. Yes they are willing to fly people around the country for a party. The first promotion is considered quite a big deal so they invite all 300 or so people to a weekend get away. Funny because I just got back from a two day retreat for our Quarterly All Hands meeting. I haven't been staffed for 3 weeks yet I haven't stopped traveling yet either. Next it looks like I am going to New York for a 5 week project.

But this isn't why I am excited. I am excited because in less than a week I get on a plane to Amsterdam, that connects me to a plane going to Moscow. While RG and I are used to not seeing a lot of each other with my job, the longest I have been away from her so far was 2 weeks. Well it has been more than 3 times that now. And honestly I am missing her something fierce. So as I sit her in my warm and freshly ironed shirt with no pants on, killing 10 minutes on the computer, I realize that while this weekend is going to be fun I really can't wait for next weekend.

It will be our 6 month wedding anniversary. Not the biggest of course but something somewhat tangible. So are plans are actually pretty cool. We are eating at a restaurant that at one time was the private club for the KGB. I'm sure at some point in his career even the current president of Russia, MR. Putin, himself has eaten there. Of course I think I will be in better company with my wife though. Hopefully the next 6 days will go by pretty fast.
