St. Louis

Well I'm in St. Louis now and have been so for 10 days now. Nanette is probably really happy because I'll be coming home soon (It's actually 9 more days). I'm excited to come back to because I miss her and the boys a lot. It's amazing how dependent I am to my family. Also, I need to point out, that I appreciate the support she has given in allowing me to go on this business trip. She has done a lot of behind-the-scenes work of taking care of the boys, bills, her school work, etc. It's amazing how much she brings to our family.

So enough of the sappy stuff. As mentioned before, I am here on a business trip. Not fun. The trip has been completely work and I don't think I have ever worked as many hours in my life. Nevertheless, as far as my working knowledge of the career path I am choosing, this has been the best experience. I've really had great input as to the missing links of my job function, so basically, when I get back to my own work I will be able to apply myself more appropriately to the tasks at hand, which means significant possibilities for promotions, awards, etc. I do plan on going to a NHL game during the weekend and I'm hoping to at least see the Arch. As mentioned above, I have had long hours and haven't had the chance to see the sites. There is one cool thing about the hotel location and that it is located across the street from the Rams practice field. Haven't seen anyone famous but maybe sometime I will. Another cool thing about St. Louis that differs from Utah and that is gas is currently $1.97 at the gas station across from the hotel.
