The last two weeks have literally been a blur...between snowy days here in Atlanta and total craziness at work I don't know if I'm coming or going most days. Quick rant related to the snow--we got a new Nikon D-80 camera after Christmas. I took it to Sharla's shower and right in the middle it stopped working (the pictures were so dark that nothing was recognizable). I figured I had messed up some setting and sat there for probably 30 minutes trying to figure it out. I knew once I got back home Joel would probably take one look at it and tell me what silly mistake I had made. Well, that was not the case. After he tinkered with it for about 30 minutes he realized the flash wasn't working. We had the camera for less than 2 weeks and the flash had already broken! Luckily, we have a Nikon service center in Atlanta, so Joel was able to drop off the camera. But--it would happen to snow *twice* at our house since he took the camera to be repaired! I'm sure that will never happen again. And we had some exciting events this weekend that he would have loved to have captured.
So, back to the craziness. My position at work has been expanded through the re-org we've been going through and I had my first business trip this past week. I got to go all the way to Atlanta! Woohoo! But, I did get to spend a night at the Ritz Carlton and get out of the office for two days. The days leading up to the meeting were a mess though, since the presentation was left in my hands and I didn't get a lot of pieces until the last minute (hello, pet peeve)! The NHL All Star game and events leading up to it were this weekend. With the events, my company sponsored a concert on Thursday night that I attended with my group from work. It was the new band One Republic. 
They are kind of a one hit band right now, but the concert was actually really good. I stayed out a little too late and enjoyed myself a little too much, but our meetings were over by noon on Friday and I was able to go home and crawl in bed :-)

When we got to the event we were given tickets to the Skills Challenge that night and tickets to the All Star game on Sunday. So we spent most of the weekend down in Atlanta at Philips Arena. The Eastern Conference won both the Skills Challenge and the All Star Game. Go East!
