What a crazy hectic week!!

So, in an effort to keep up my end of the bargain, I am again blogging on Friday night.

An update on Daniel first.......

We can add the following to the list of foods that he has tried: yam, applesauce. He actually really likes the yams. He ate two "helpings" the first time we gave it to him. For the applesauce we put just a little in with his oat cereal. He seemed to like it, but we think it might have made him break out, so we are going to lay off for a few days and then try again on that one.

And an update on my week...............

The week started off with more conference call/online demos. I am still in the process at work of trying to find some scheduling software to help make my life a lot easier. I am working with the two people who schedule in Salt Lake for Temple Square. We also have a Business Analyst that has been part of the team. We finally have it narrowed down to the last two. We have a "live" online trial for one of them currently, and the other one should have a "live" trial for us Monday or Tuesday of next week. On top of 3 or 4 Conference calls this past week I also had 5 Production Meetings for upcoming events. And, to add one more thing, I had someone from the Finance department come out to do an internal audit. Mostly he just followed me around for the day and asked questions about what I do and how things work. He seems to think that he gathered valuable information. He did have a few things that we discussed that might be able to help me out if we can get any of them to come through.

I now have 7 Steinway Grand pianos in the building getting ready for the piano competition that is taking place next week. The total value of these pianos is probably somewhere in the neighborhood of $600,000 or more. I just hope that none of the members (mostly the youth) decide that it would be a good idea to carve something into these expensive pianos since we showed up a few weeks ago and discovered that someone thought it would be a good idea to carve "I love Jesus" and "Ne 2:11" into one of the pianos.

February is one of the craziest times of the year for me. Almost as busy and crazy as Christmas time if you can believe that. Hopefully things will start slowing down a little about the end of March. We'll see. We are closing the building down beginning May 1 this year during the week while they work on a new roof and some seismic upgrades. I think as a result everyone is trying to cram everything they can into the first few months of the year and the weekends during the summer. I also have my first requests already for February of 2011.

I would like to take this time to throw a few "shout outs" if you can call them that.

Happy Birthday Kendra!!

Happy Birthday Isaac!!

Until next week.
