Well, John got to go to New York City with his class this weekend. He had a great time and got to go to a really cool Brazilian restaurant...which was basically the whole purpose for the trip. He is currently fighting a cold, which is no fun, but I think in spite of that, he had a great time! He even brought me back a Yankees ball cap.......even though he doesn't like them. :-)
I spent the weekend in Pittsburgh with the rest of the Henderson clan. Julie was in town, so it was good to see her. We went to the big car show in downtown Pittsburgh, which was great! I've actually never been to a car show, unless you count the one at the fair...which I don't...doesn't even compare. There were some awesome cars there...none of which I can afford and most of which I wouldn't drive anyways. :-) There was a classic Maserati there, which was really cool. And can I just say...I do not understand the fascination with the metallic burnt orange color for all of the sports cars. The people choosing must be Texas fans! It seemed like there were a lot of sports cars in that color. I couldn't believe it! What happened to good old red! Anyhow, I think my favorite car was a little red Cadillac. Julie, Phyllis and I all drooled over it. :-)
We are still waiting to hear from the places that John interviewed with. We hope to have some news soon! We'll let you know as soon as we do.
Love to all....

A Nice Weekend
John and I had a very nice weekend...if only it could have lasted longer. :-)
Friday night, we decided to splurge on dinner and a movie. We haven't done this in a while, and since we got our tax return, I told John he was taking me out on a date! So we drove the hour into Pittsburgh Mills, ate dinner at Chili's and watched "Leatherheads". Highly recommended for all OU fans...they play a great fight song at one of the games!!! I was honestly singing "Boomer, Sooner" in the middle of a packed theatre...but just loud enough for John to hear me. :-)It was a great movie...George Clooney is just hillarious! Reminiscent of his "O Brother, Where Art Thou" days.
Saturday, John had a fund raiser he was helping with in Punxy, so I went up with him. I went for moral support only. I drove around and put change in everyone's little buckets. I also got my hair cut, which was badly needed. It felt so good to get it all chopped off! Then we drove back home, picked up some sandwiches at a local sub shop, and spent the rest of the day at home.
Sunday was, of course, a great day. I filled in for the lady who normally does children's church, and that was fun. To top it all off, we had some sunny weather and almost 60 degree temps most of the weekend. So, hopefully, spring is here to stay. Wouldn't that be marvelous!
Nothing else too exciting....John had a good interview with The Broadmoor, located in Colorado Springs. He has two more coming up this week with a place in Williamsburg, VA and the Marco Island Marriott in Florida. Pray that those go well also.
Love you guys, Becky
