Switzerland!

Alex has some big news from MSI. :D

Like I said in my last blog, he got a bunch of new projects, so the one he is working on now, someone else will take over and he will start on these new ones.

With that, he found out today that he gets to go to Switzerland the week of October 10th.

I am QUITE Jealous of him!!! He will be there for 2 or 3 days seeing how a machine installation works. He is kind of surprised that they would send him so far to see how an installation works, but apparently the guys working there are really nice and the ones in the two other possible places aren't as nice and would "tear him apart," so he gets to see an awesome place and have a great experience :)

THEN, a couple weeks after he gets back from Switzerland, he will get to go to Minnesota to work on another installation. He asked if he would be traveling this much, or if it was just to get orientated, and his boss, Jake said he won't be traveling near this much in the future-so it is really cool that he gets to now!

He's been working there for 2 months and they already sent him to Salt Lake City, have plans for Switzerland and Minnesota- I'd say its a pretty great job :)

He is doing really well and the people at MSI really like him and appreciate that he is able to learn quickly and does a good job!

And, since its mostly his family that looks at our blog....Way to Go!! :) You raised a good one :)

This week for me is going pretty well. Starting to get a little bit of a cold, which isn't very fun, but I haven't been working as much, so it is nice to have all day and night to do homework and hang out with the roomies :)

They are fun girls, definitely loud and outgoing, but there is always some story to be told or something to laugh about, which is really fun!

Classes are going well, missing Summer a little though!

I think that is all the news I have to share for now! TTFN

Hahaha, so obviously I was a little tired when I wrote my last blog.

*Correction: Alex got put incharge of a bunch of projects from another employee who is ill. He may be traveling to *Japan and *Ireland. lol.

Very much looking forward to this week. I am only working Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings and then Saturday 8 to 3. I have lots of homework to catch up on, and clearly need some more sleep.!

This weekend was great though. Worked at a new house. All the ladies were pretty great. They are non-verbal, but they definitely have their own way of communicating and getting their point across. :)

Back to the grind of work and school tomorrow.

Today was good, very relaxing. Watched some Horton Hears a Who, and Madagascar 2, took a nap, played some games with Alex and did some homework.

Alex's Salt Lake City trip was good. He said the flight out there was really smooth, but coming back it was a bit shakier. There was a bad storm brewing here in Flag when they were flying- there was so much hail that it looked like snow, I will add a picture of that, but yeah, pretty crazy. They thought they were going to have to go somewhere else until the storm passed, but there happened to be a hole right over the airport so they were able to land safely around 5:30pm.

Alex said he had fun and it was a good experience. He will probably get to go back pretty soon after he gets done with the programming that needs adjusted on the machine, so that will be neat.

Just another great week this week!

Hi!

This is going to be kind of a short blog, more to come later, but I just wanted to update you all on whats been happening. I survived my first week at NAU. It is MUCH larger than UNO, which I like but was not expecting. There are tons of students all over the place, which is really cool- I just need to figure out a way to become friends with all of them- lol. JUST KIDDING :)
There are some awesome people in one of my social work classes so I think a few friendships will come from that, which is awesome to think about! My roommates are good! Weird that the closest one to me in age is 20 and I'm 22. haha. But, we are all very young, loud, lively women, so it makes life fun, for sure. When I am around here at least....
I have been working a lot of hours with Hozhoni. Most early mornings and evenings I am working at a house, which is great, but definitely starting to get burnt out. This past saturday I worked at 13 hour shift and this saturday i'm working 12 hours. I'm ready for a break :) haha.

The people are great though! Had my first experience with an "incident" at 6:00 this morning. Definitely got the adrenaline running, but everything turned out just fine!

So, I guess this isn't real short, but I will talk in more detail later, I'm off to bed!!
Alex is flying to Salt Lake City in the morning with MSI to work on a previous machine that the company wants to change which is awesome!! He gets to fly on the company CEO's airplane. It makes me a bit nervous but Carl (Alex's supervisor-ish) said that Tom (the CEO) is a great pilot and I have nothing to be worried about :)

Alex also got a bunch of put incharge of most projects that will be leaving the doors at MSI because another employee is in bad health. Very unfortunate about the employee, but very exciting for Alex. A lot of the clients he got are from Europe and there may be some in China and other awesome places that he will get flown to- so things are lookin up for him :)

Alright, for real- good night :)
