My First Attempt

So.... I have never done this before. This is my first attempt and I thought I would let the Weston Family know a little more about me. So I am finishing up my Junior year in Chemical Engineering and it's a lot tougher than I thought it would be as a married man, but with a little more focus and hard work, I am sure that I can pull through. As most of the family knows Lynette and I are headed to Corpus Christi this summer and we have recently been looking for apartments. I am extremely glad Lynette and I did not have to do this to find our first apartment. Thank you Bryan and Joanne! Anyways, we are getting pretty excited about it and are still trying to find that apartment. It doesn't help that the company has not mentioned anything about when I am to start, so, we try and guess. We are looking to be able to take a week before I am to start and visit some of the family on both sides. We might even be able to see "Wicked" in Missouri (my brother lives there). It is going to be a wonderful experience to be in Texas. The company name I will be working for is called Celanese Corporation. They work in Chemicals, Polymers, and other products. It's a company similar to Dow Chemical, but about 8 times smaller, only a 6-7 Billion dollar company instead of a 48 Billion dollar compnay. They came to the school about 2-3 years ago and since that day I have been very impressed with them. The two representatives that they had were wonderful people who I thought did a great job of selling their company. I set the goal to get an internship and it came true. They are a great company and they called me last week and let me know that they wanted to take me and the other interns skiing at Solitude. It was incredible! 15 inches of new snow, mid-week, no lines. It, again, was awesome! I will have to post a picture of me at the top of the summit, but as for now, just know that I went to Solitude. Well, that pretty much gives you some info into my life at the moment. Hope you all enjoy.

Thanks for the update, Anthony. Good luck in the long-distance, temporary house-hunt...that can't be too fun.

I'm still trying to convince Steve that he should post now and again on our blog, but so far I haven't been too successful, obviously.

Well- Lynette is pretty distracting. I'm impressed that any schooling is going on with a fun-time-gal like that around! Have fun with the Texas househunt; that's got to be pretty challenging from long distance. Will you be there just for the summer, or longer?

And I think you guys are getting spam posts on your blog. You may want to change the settings so that posters have to type in a code to get comment on. I have a couple friends who have that setting on their blogs. It's a bit annoying for the commenters, but it probably is in place to prevent just what you guys are getting.

Anthony! Great job on your posting! I sure enjoyed reading a few more details that I didn't know. I bet you'll have a great time in Texas this summer.
