the SCPP tour

Mr. Goodman didn't like not being able to run the equipment.

This is the group minus Tour Guide Ron. We are about to get some first hand experience at Sandy Creek Power Plant.

The Goodman weekend!

A couple weekends ago now, all of the Goodman family came up to see us. It was a pleasant weekend, very short. Here are a few of us having a lengthy political discussion.

thank you.

Thanks for the  comments on my last post :) I am feeling a bit better now, and plan on having a fabulous girl night all to myself :) I love you all. 

Lonely.

I try to let this blog just be about general Goodman news, which is mostly happy and upbeat. I am a mostly happy and upbeat person, so I guess I feel like I can't write sad things. Like I don't want people to think something is wrong with me, and I have no idea who all reads this blog. 

But today I am feeling lonely. I wish that I could go see my new little niece, Claire, who I'm very happy about. I just found out that the trip to Colombia is out of the question, due to my work. Ron is on a business trip today and will be back tomorrow afternoon. I do like alone time sometimes, but knowing he is so far away right now makes me feel small. I miss my Mom and Dad and the little kids, and I'm glad they wrote me letters. I just wish that I could go to the park with them right now, but I have to go paint my study. Alone, although I will put Odyssey on so I feel like I'm not alone. I miss all my extended family, and want to watch my cousins play baseball and run cross country. 

Really, my life is going pretty well right now, but I feel like Texas is practically the end of the earth. Particularly Waco, Texas. I don't mind most of the time, because Ron and I can't see much farther than each others' eyes. But family is so important to both of us, and I want my family to know they are missed.  

this is ron.

This is Ron at work, excited about how big the machinery behind him is. This is so Mom doesn't have to look at the mailbox.
