Conference Weekend!

We are happy for this time to relax and be spiritually refreshed. The week has been busy for me (T-man is writing this week) which means is has been long for S as well. The MBA program is intense and the 1st semester is the busiest of all. For those who are emphasizing in Strategic HR (such as myself), this is recruiting season for summer internships. About half of my current activities are consumed by job-seeking. This week included two information sessions, five informational interviews (me talking with company employees to get a feel for the company) and a dozen emails.

On Friday I had interviews in Phoenix with Honeywell Corp (they make thermostats, jets, bullet-proof vests, Prestone, and a number of other seemingly unrelated items). We spent Thursday night with Cayenne and Mark and got to see their new home for the first time. They were nice enough to let Letty stayed with them while S, Gracie and I flew to Phoenix. Honeywell Corp was gracious enough to fly us all there. While I interviewed and took a tour of several factories with other job candidates, a local realtor hauled the rest of the family around Phoenix. Kendra was quite a trooper throughout the 6+ hours in the car, not to mention the plane ride. We had an hour break before we went to dinner at the VERY nice home of a BYU alumnus and Senior VP of HR. By the end of the night we were exhausted mentally and physically. We had two early flights which gave us a cumulative of 8 hours of sleep between two days. We were ready and excited to get home to see Letty.


Just a couple of fun pictures that have nothing to do with the topic of the blog:

Laundry fun...
