Walt Disney World!!!!

On October 1st, 2008, Craig and I loaded up the Fit and hit the road to Florida! It was a very nice drive, especially the part where I was asleep. Thanks for driving, Craig! We had a blast at Disney World. It was my first time EVER!!! I'll post some pictures soon. We drove back home through New Orleans and stayed there one night and hit the town. We had both been before, but it was our first time together. I actually went for the first time on one of my trips to Louisiana a few months ago.

Craig and I are already planning our first trip with the kids someday!!!!

Goings Ons

Craig really has been lax about updating our blog. I'm going to have to talk to him about that.

So, what's been going on in the Cox household? I spent a lot of time away from that household during August and September, traveling for work. We were giving Benefits presentations to our employees all over the country to educate them about their new choices for 2009. Between August 11th and September 19th, I

• Stayed in 10 different hotels rooms
• Boarded 7 different planes
• Visited 7 different airports
• Conducted/Attended 21 Benefits Meetings
• Drove 3 different rental cars
• Visited 20 different cities: Tyler, TX; Bossier City, LA; Hodge, LA; Lafayette, LA; Harvey, LA; New Orleans, LA; Bakersfield, CA; Los Angeles, CA; Compton, CA; Lubbock, TX; Midland, TX; Odessa, TX; Hobbs, NM, Carlsbad, NM; Fort Worth, TX; Dallas, TX; Shreveport, LA; Lafayette, LA (again); Gonzalez, LA; Baton Rouge, LA.
• Drove across the entire nation of Texas, from Hobbs, NM, to Fort Worth, and then on to Shreveport, LA
• Was stranded in Fort Worth during the Ike aftermath, thankfully!

I was fortunate enough to have a weekend with the other Cox family up in Fort Worth since I was not able to get home after the hurricane. Rather than staying in Midland, and hoping to get a flight home to where there was no power in most places, I waited it out with Summer and Jason and the boys. Craig was able to come join us for a couple of days, too, so it was a nice getaway for him. From there, I continued my travels to Louisiana. I would have flown out of Houston that week, but since I was so close already, I just kept the rental car and completed my drive across Texas.

My journeys finally came to an end on Thursday, September 18th. What a releif to be home!!! But I didn't stay there for long!!!!

I'm not exactly sure how this works, but just to prove Summer wrong, I will respond the best I know how.
