It Was a Long Trip ...

I'm finally catching up on things, the most recent of which was a combination business/pleasure trip to Phoenix and Tucson, which was both awesome and awful.

The pleasure part: getting to spend some time with my sister Karen.  I stayed with her, and certainly appreciate her patience with such a long visit!  The first weekend we went down to Tucson to spend some time with Tim and Mark.  That, of course, was fun as always.  We went to a production of Sister Act, the movie Gravity, and several meals out.  I always have such a great time with the boys, who truly are first class hosts. 

The business part: I participated in a trade show the next weekend, along with a couple of our top Vessel Stylists.  Jeanette and Carmen are dynamic, awesome women and we are extremely lucky to have them on our team.  In addition, Jeanette's BEAUTIFUL daughter Tatiana also came (how could she not be beautiful with a mom like Jeanette?).

The awesome part: all of the above things.  Plus spending some time with my nephews Brandon and Hunter.  And I was able to get together with a former NSP co-worker. 

The awful part:  for most of the trip I was sicker than a dog with a bad chest cold.  Then I burned my hand badly.  Then I had an expensive boo-boo in my car that was completely my fault. 

But, in the end, everything turned out all right.
