Cool News

I just found out something really cool! Some friends and I were chatting on Yahoo Messenger and we got on the topic of googling yourself. So I went ahead and typed in my name. One of the first things that came up with my name was with NASA! So of course I clicked on it. Well it turns out that mine and my husbands names were submitted to be placed on two microchips that were being sent to space. One was left orbiting the sun and the other was  transported to the curation facility at Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.
I'm not sure who submitted our names, but I'm guessing it was done as a wedding gift considering the deadline for submission was right before our wedding. So if you're the one who did it THANK YOU!!! Another cool fact is that the shuttle launched ON my birthday!

Leadership...

Tuesday we had our first leadership class of 2007. This class was all about education. We met at a local university. I have to admit this has been my least favorite class so far. It's not that I don't care about education, it's just I really didn't find the topic very fascinating.
The first hour we had a principal from one school district and the superintendent of another speak to us about the public school system in Oklahoma. The discussed what was up in legislation and about school security. Over all kinda dull to me. Could be partly becasue I don't have any children in the school system and I've been out for so long myself.
The next hour was spent learning about career services schools better known as Vocational Schools or VoTechs. The speakers actually went into the history of VoTech's in Oklahoma.....
The final hour was spent on Private Universities, mostly about their adult studies programs. Don't get me wrong I think adult studies is a great program. I just didn't care to sit and listen about it for an hour.
The best part of the class was the lunch. Very good. One of the best salads I've ever had and the cookies were delicious!
Overall a bit of a disappointment, but the other classes have been so great that I'm still really enjoying the course. Next month I think we will be learning about economic development. I think I'll enjoy it a lot more.

Happy New Year!

Wow I can't believe it's already 2007! This is my last year in my 20's, I better make it count.  It's amazing how quickly time flies. This is also the 100th birthday for the state of Oklahoma. So happy birthday Oklahoma!
I'm looking forward to this new year. I'm definitely known for being an optimist, which can drive my husband crazy, but I just really do believe that this year will bring great things!

On another note there is some great news about A Dog's Breakfast! There will be a screening in London the first part of February! So YAY for all of you who will be getting to attend! *cough* Kathy *cough* I really wish I could go to P2 and the screening with everyone, but it's just not in the budget for this year. Maybe next year?!
