Well, Jen and I just returned from Las Vegas. We had a week long trip for me to attend the VMworld conference and for Jen to have a little vacation. Jen was able to join some of the other wives and do things around town while all of their husbands were busy with the conference. It worked out really well.
Jen and I were able to fit in a little time to relax at the pool on Monday and then we were able to see Blue Man Group at the Ventitian on Tuesday evening. Jen also got to tour the Hoover Dam and go out to see the Grand Canyon and lots of Vegas sites. Jen has started a gallery with photos online.
Peyton stayed with Papa and Gaga Sellers while we were in Las Vegas. She got a little sick during the week and ended up having to go to the ER in Cheraw. She had a spot of congestion on her lung and a really bad sore throat. Antibiotics prescribed cleared everything up. I’m taking her back to the doctor tomorrow morning just to make sure that everything looks good. She is acting like she feels much better than she was feeling middle of last week.
Peyton has begun potty training too. She recently moved into the 2 year old classroom at daycare and they’ve begun working with her to potty train. We’re trying to continue that at home. She has gone pee-pee in the potty a couple times now. So, our world is becoming pull ups and pee-pee for the next little while…
Work is going great for both me and Jen. Jen is settling back in after a week away. She missed her annual teacher’s dinner last Tuesday evening. Everything went well. I am trying to decompress and process everything I learned at the conference last week. There was so much, its hard to get everything together. I’ll be briefing my co-workers sometime this week about everything that I learned…
I also started a second blog – one where I can post about my job, technology, and things in that arena that interest me. I posted heavily about things from the conference and surprisingly, I’m seeing a lot of traffic to my blog because of that. When you Google some of the topics I blogged about, my site is showing surprisingly high in the searches. That translates to traffic and readers – which is very exciting for me. I didn’t expect that – this was just something I wanted to do for myself. You can check it out at http://tech.philipsellers.com, if you’re interested. Its still a work in progress, but I’m working on it as I have time. One of my post even got picked up by the vendor’s blog and they linked to my post – pretty cool in my eyes… It was a nice birthday present – oh yeah – I turned 28 on Saturday. My best birthday present so far was Peyton singing Happy Birthday for me… 🙂
