Obama and Biden

If you haven't heard or seen the news today, the $787 billion stimulus plan was signed by President Obama in Denver today. Why Denver? President Obama had a trip already planned to Denver to "congratulate" the Denver Natural History Museum on going "Green". A big part of this Stimulus package is meant to create more Green jobs and new Green technologies. With the House and Senate passing the bill late last week, It made sense to do it in Denver since he was already going to be here. (The trip was not scheduled just to sign the bill here, as many think)

A perk of working at the Golf Course is it's proximity to the Air Force Base that the Government uses for Presidential visits. I got to see both Vice President Biden's plane and Air Force One land this afternoon, it was quite the site. It's amazing thepre- arrival prep, a helicopter flies around for about an hour checking the area around the runway and approach for would be assassins. Biden's plane then landed about 11:15 am, then a pair of fighter jets touched down and at about 11:30 Obama landed. Air Force One is HUGE, a Hummer next to Bidens' VW Beetle.

FINALLY

The Geek Squad finally got us a camera. Even better is they said our old one was unrepairable (was never dropped and they said the lens was out of whack) so they replaced it. Even better, we got a better camera, better zoom, mega pixels, and is so small SLENDER! Thank god for the Service plan, however, I pray to all holy that we don't have to use it again, because the Best Buy Geek Squad is HORRIBLE to work with.

So after it charges, we can start the photos again....YES!

Has it Been That Long???

Sunday I woke up and headed down stairs, made some coffee and turned on the T.V. It was then after flipping channels that I found the movie "The Karate Kid". This used to be a favorite of mine and Adrienne's. It then dawned on us that this movie came out in 1984! 22 years ago! I was 7 years old and Adrienne only 6. Holy Cow where does time go???? We sat together watching it all the way through (Adrienne came down half way through it) and then watched the not as good but enjoyable sequel.

Adrienne then cooked a weeks worth of meals for the next few hours before it was off to Abi's 5th birthday party. No camera yet, although we got word they are giving us a new one, something with the lens was wrong and was unrepairable.

Family Pictures

Just before Christmas we went out and got our Family pictures done. Here are a few favorites from the many many pictures we took.
