I enjoyed walking on the lakefront to bookend each day.

Extremely cold temperatures had turned all the grass from it's typical green.

The weather was PERFECT!

Mark is Jason's counterpart in the US HQ
Last week I had the privilege of visiting our co-workers in the NTM USA Headquarters. I didn’t bring my camera, so here are some pictures that Karl (one of two other guys on this road trip) took.
Both Karl and I are relatively new to the NTMC Headquarters, so this trip was primarily a chance to build relationships with our counterparts in the NTM USA home office.
One reason for going sooner than later is the redesign of the NTM.org website. The Communications Department in the USA is working on plans for a complete redesign, so myself and two others from the NTMC homeoffice drove down to find out how we can be a blessing in this project.
That’s right, we drove. Going down we drove to Columbia and stayed there for the night. Coming back we felt a little bit more adventuresome and drove through the night to surprise our wives. I was reminded once again that surprises can backfire.
Before going home I stopped for flowers and chocolates. Once home, I found myself locked out and Angie and the girls GONE! So much for surprising her. Luckily she wasn’t far. I went to work and had a friend call her and have her come to the NTMC office. Angie just assumed I had ordered flowers. Nope, no flowers at the head office—just me. Delena was the most surprised. The first thing she said was “I thought you were in Florida!”
