Tomorrow NYC

I am taking one of the trips that you never forget...I hope.  Tomorrow we are, GG, Amanda, Jillian and me -joining up in the big apple to spend three days on Broadway seeing shows.  We aren't going shopping or sight seeing, just spending time together, the three generations and enjoying stories and making memories.  I know GG has a ticker strong a steel, but time marches on and I see how busy Amanda is managing her job, family and education.  Jillian is so out of reach living in Utah - its not like it used to be when we all lived together in FDL, or Fremont.  So I am taking advantage of a couple days off from work and I am looking forward to seeing Wiked again, The Book of Mormon which for obvious reasons will be enjoyable and then Nice Work if You Can Get It.  Each show has a tour or meet and mingle.  We will of course sip, eat and laugh.  Photos to come.  Bon Voyage.

presentations

I love what I do at work.  I talk and engage people and coach them on marketing.  I market providers, services, events and education.  I like to talk with people.  I like to solve problems.  Our team worked on a presentation today and I think we rocked it.  It looks simple but ask my husband, 11 hour days all week and then me practicing my part in the mirror last night so that the words came out slowly.  Smooth sailing for the rest of the day until....the next presentation!


Enjoy your Friday and remember to love your husband, hug your children and do something good for yourself.  There is only one you.

It is better to love and cherish.

They say its better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.  I am not sure.  Love is to be cherished and taken care of like a fine gift.   If I lost the love of my husband, kids, grand kids life would not be good for me.

We polish our boats, and collect our china, some adore clothes and shoe or fine houses.  We start to feel entitled to these objects.  They don't need to be nurtured.  They are possessions.  But what is your most valuable possession? 

We had an event full week celebrating Lucy's birthday and Jillian being home.  My dear family of in-laws were over and we are unique and lucky to have our best friend living on our "compound".  My husband always in the middle making sure that glasses are filled with favorite drinks, and the lawn is green and cut to the perfect length.  Windows are clean to enjoy the view and the a/c is set just right so all are comfortable.  Good times.  But it doesn't just happen. 

We work to pay for the house, we cultivate the relationships with friends and family.  Then we hit the bed at night EXHAUSTED. 

I love that my husband is my best friend and we share the same room.  We breath the same air.  Have the same goals.  Some times I love him like a possession.  But he is not.  He is a gift.  He is good to me because he loves me and he shows that love to me in so many ways.  Every single day.  

It is not better to have loved and lost.  It is better to love and not take for granted or loose.  But to cherish, endure and enjoy to the end - with love!
