We got good news this week, DH got promoted to the next level for engineers! Since his company is in our local news daily in a negative way, this is encouraging. If his department does start letting people go, odds are, he won’t be among them. No extra vacation time yet but a small raise.

He’s booked to go to the Philipines in August. His boss asked today if he’d be interested in presenting at a 3 day seminar in either Paris, London, or Frankfurt in June. Since we have a Paris, a London, and a Frankfort within 75 miles of Lexington, I did clarify that she means the European versions, not the Kentucky versions of these cities.

June is pretty open for us, and if he goes, I go! If his company buys his ticket and the room, I think we could swing a ticket for me and some sightseeing. The seminar is three days and she said he could extend by a day or two for some rest time before coming home. Thing One and Thing Two can skip a week of camp and go to his parents or mine. I’d really love for this to happen. He’s going to tell his boss that he’d be open to any city, any week with a preference for Paris or London. We could really use a trip like this and he deserves some recognition after not getting much, at least not like he did at his last job, for the past 4 years.

Could I get some vibes that this actually happens?
