I'm back! (Did you notice I was gone? You can be honest...)
I spent the last week in Houston, TX at a conference on international education. I will spare you the boring details, but let me just say I had a really good time and it was a great way to get to know my new co-workers. That tends to happen when you spend between the hours of 9am and 11pm (sometimes later) together for 5 days straight.
So here's a quick recap of what happened over the week.
First of all, I was upgraded to an amazing hotel. I got a penthouse suite that included a living room, a bedroom, a huge bathroom with a shower about as big as my bathroom here at home, all with at least 20 foot ceilings.

| Yes that is a bathtub in the living room. For all those times you need a bath while watching tv. |

Throughout the week, I ran around downtown Houston taking pictures of the area so I could show you all (and LoLo) what it was like.

My final adventure in Houston was getting to the airport security line and realizing I was standing behind the entire Valencia soccer team from the professional league in Spain. That was exciting, but what was even more exciting was that when I got to my gate, I realized they were all on my flight too. I sat down and next to me was an older man who seemed like one of the coaches doing a crossword puzzle with this cute player. Once they figured out I understood Spanish, they were smiling and talking to me. Turns out, the cute player is the team's goalie, Vicente Guaita Panadero, and is actually pretty good.

And even though the scenery on the flight was excellent, I couldn't stop thinking about getting home to my two favorite boys: Bronx and LoLo.

| I love this face!! |

So I thank you, Houston, for a wonderful week full of laughs and yummy food, drinks, and soccer players. You were a fun escape from rainy Maine (seriously, Maine, get your act together).

Technically, I'm an international educator.. how do I get in on one of these conferences?! Looks like you were treated to an awesome week!
Helloooo Soccer Players!
I'm not the biggest fan of flying. I don't get freaked out, I just don't like it. The last time I flew the UT Golf team was on my same flight. I managed to convince myself that the plane was gonna crash b/c there's sometimes a team on the plane when that happens. (Ridiculous thought I know) So the whole flight I'm saying prayers in my head lol.
