It all began on a drilling rig in Three Rivers, TX

What exactly began on a rig in TX? This blog! After sitting in a logging truck watching the sonde record at 10,000 ft below the surface all day long in the 103 F heat (ok, we have AC in here, but outside it is 103), I came up with the (not so brilliant) idea of starting a Millard family blog. Deep down I am hoping that Erica will take over this and post all of the adventures that we have (or pretend to have) so that I don't have to do it. We will see. At any rate, for those who haven't talked to us in a while, we are currently living in the great state of Texas (hence the blog title). I am working as a geologist for an oil company (I know, complain all you want, but don't blame us! We (the oil companies) are the only ones doing anything about the problem)! Although I havent seen the movie (A day without mexicans (?)), us "oil people" are much like them in a lot of respects. Everyone complains about us and talks about how we are taking all of the money, but if we were to simply not show up to work one day, the world would literally come to a stop! Anyways, enough with taht subject. While I am slaving away at a workstation, or out on a rig, or wherever I may be at the time, Erica is raising our one and only, Logan. He will be 1 in a couple weeks and is (almost) walking. While not caring for Logan, she is working her photography business on the side shooting weddings, etc. Anyways, if I am lucky Erica will dig up some recent photos of us and the boy so that I can look at myself at all hours of the day.
