Mom and I decided to visit Jenna and David and the girls and especially to celebrate Natalie's first birthday. So we packed up and left home on Tuesday 10/27. We drove as far as the Hurricane house and stayed there Tuesday night. Then on Wednesday we took off for Surprise, traveling through Colorado City, Fredonia, Jacob Lake, Flagstaff, and then to Surprise. The trip took a little over 6 hours. We had a great time in Arizona. I played 18 holes of golf at Great Eagle on Thursday with another threesome of "old gentlemen" and then on Friday David stayed home from work and we put in 18 holes at the Arizona Traditions course. We ate out at some great restaurants (Culver's, Ajo Al's, and BJs). We celebrated Natalie's birthday and I must say she really demolished the cake Jenna made for her - it was everywhere! We went to the ward "trunk or treat" at the church parking lot and Mom and I passed out candy while Cyrena and Natalie made the rounds. Natalie was dressed as a cupcake and Cyrena as the candle for the cupcake. I received several calls for contracts during our stay. One from AMD, with a promise of work starting mid-November. Also for a contract at Microsoft. In fact, we drove straight home on Tuesday so I could fly down and visit their facility in Palo Alto for an interview. That was a loooooooonnnnnng day (4:45 AM till midnight - down and back the same day). Have not heard back anything yet.
