I know I say I am going to do better each and every time but I really will start to do better with my blog. I swear it to you! I am in a place where I feel like i have a lot to say. Let's play catch up one last time and then I promise to keep you up to date at least once per week, deal?!
I recently had my 31st birthday... I was in Charleston and actually had a pretty good day... ended my birthday with a new phone on a historical naval destroyer the USS Yorktown. I had a great time working which we all know I DON'T DO on my birthday. I generally am on vacation even if only for the day. It's not where I am but that i am doing only what I want to be doing and not what I am supposed to be doing or am required to be doing. Anyway, it was a pretty good day, we were past some of the big craziness that comes with getting 8 college basketball teams settles and were getting more into the groove with them. We had already set some boundaries with some of the contacts and where all enjoying the slight chill in the air. I was with a Mizzou Tiger and one of those crazy Red Raiders from Tech. Thanks to them and the amazing people I work with ( I mean it, I'm not just writing this b/c they could read this... they really are amazing!), I got to sleep in, had cookie cake, cake, got some funny cards and even got a car... a red convertible. It was a surprise so I was NOT expecting it at all.
I'll post pictures soon so you can all see my sweet new ride!
Did I mention I was gone for 15 days straight!!
Crazy is what that sounds like now. Oh well, we have hit the ground running and it is going to be a bit crazytime from here on out. University of Colorado won that tournament and i learned a lot about the Collegiate side of our business and still am as I sort through some of the special that I encountered there. I have a new found respect for the people in the Collegiate pod and their handling of things on the fly and with a smile no less.
After Charleston which might I add was COLD and RAINY... i flew off to sunny Anaheim at the crack of dawn in the morning. I mean the airport wasn't even open when i first got there!! Dropped the car off at the rental place and went on with my day. I then got to stop in my home city but not actually get to go home between events. Is it bad that I was hoping for some sort of delay or cancellation so that i could get back to my house?! I don't feel bad about that either. California was great though. I kept up with one of our clients who was traveling the country just the same as me. Good times with good people. MTMs, CTJs...BWs... all sorts of fun to be had and remembered just keeping it 100 with ya, lol.
My Cali ride was a bit tardy in the pick up and then she passed me!! She was a bit flustered, but she eventually got me. I couldn't be mad b/c we had done the same thing to the Red raider! MEALS, MEALS and more MEALS are on my agenda these days. I had a blast with the people at both tournaments and look forward to the possibility of working with them again in the future.
Alright, i'm extremely tired but I wanted to catch you up as soon as I could.
I leave you with one of my new favorite quotes.
Remember this quote: “You Were Given This Life Because You Are Strong Enough To Live it.”
