It's been two weeks since my last post and I admit that I have fallen behind in the blogging department.  The main occupier of my...that word doesn't look right...anyway, I've been working a ton of overtime the last three weeks.  The first couple of weeks weren't bad but this week is proving to be a long and exhausting one.  We are just trying to make up some time in the project schedule so we are putting in the extra hours.  I think after this week we will be close to being caught up and all will return to normal in Brandon's world.  Jan too has been working a lot mainly because she's got some proposals that are due in the next few weeks. 

I went to Hill's Cafe tonight to meet up with my dad.  I surprised by showing up because I had told him I had to work.  Well, I decided to stop by after work to see him anyway and to see Ricky Trevino perform live.  Now, I am pretty picky with the kind of country music I like, and I have to say that I definitely enjoy his music.  He plays a lot of stuff that sounds like the Mavericks, Marty Robbins, and a bit of Tex-Mex flavor to it.  He had 10 people on stage with him and they all combined to make some really good music.  He had a sax, trumpet, steel guitar, accordian, drums, lead guitar, rhythm guitar, piano, and a bass somewhere in there.  Sounds crowded don't it?  Check him out if you ever get a chance.  I know a lot of you aren't big country fans but he's really a good musician.

Easter last Sunday was a lot of fun and a first for Jan and me.  We hosted my whole family for Easter dinner and it turned out to be a great success.  I slaved over a spiral sliced ham from HEB and everyone else brought the sides.  I'm telling you - pot luck is the way to go.  It was great to see my grandmother whose birthday we celebrated.  Jan made an incredible carrot cake with her mother's recipe.  Dang, baby, that thing was goo-ood!! 

On Friday, Jan and I went to see The Passion - on Good Friday.  It was definitely well-done, but outside of critiquing it I was really moved by a few of the scenes.  It truly is a movie that we all need to watch periodically if not more frequently to remind us of what Christ did for us.  It doesn't even come close to what actually occurred only because we weren't there, but it is the closest thing we have and I am thankful that Mel Gibson and his crew made the movie. 

Well, I'm off to bed.  I hope to blog more often and will try to keep it interesting.  I gotsta keep the peepul comin back for mo'.
