That’s a great quote, Deborah!

You know, when you’re able to laugh about a challenge it does make it easier! I’ve been laughing a lot lately.

It really is amazing that we’ve been friends for 13 years and you’ve been a part of major events with us–including our marriage!

I love the quote:

“The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty.”

This is something I am personally trying to work on.
Way to go Kelly, you handled yourself well. And happy 10th anniversary. Can’t believe it’s already been ten years since I watched you two ride away in that horse and carriage.

So true, GP! In my case He usually remodels and provides a whole new wing to my “house!”

You’re not going to believe this but we tried to getaway again last night and drove to Park City (1 hr) plus got a couple to stay with our kids for 24 hours so we could enjoy it and when we got there it was overbooked…in fact the WHOLE state is overbooked for a convention in SLC (how did we ever manage the Olympics?) So we ate at a nice restaurant and went home only to scare our babysitter because she didn’t answer the phone and was in our basement and didn’t answer the door either! Crazy 10th Anniversary we’ve had! Not what I expected it to be but, we handled it with lots of chocolate and listening to lots of QUEEN on the way home “We are the Champions…we’ll keep on fighting to the end.”

Kelly,
Consider this the dress rehearsal for an even bigger and better event.

Thanks Jamie, we’re hoping for a peaceful evening out this weekend. I’m hopeful about Entrepreneur.com not only for my radar but also for amazing stories of our members we can potentially pitch to them.

Wow – the stitches once would have sent to tears, but a second set and then the Entrpreneur.com article. You have a fabulous attitude and you are correct – sometimes are failures become our reasons for our biggest successes (or something like that). Tomorrow is a new day, and if you are on her radar you will STAY on her radar. I got into the Wall St. Journal from a comment I had made to a reporter 11 mons earlier – so it can happen! I’ll cross my fingers there is not a THIRD trip to the ER in your future…:)

Good for you with being brave and fixing your situation…glad you were protected while you solved your problem, could have been really dangerous! AAA is a great resource for road issues, FYI!

You’re right…we are grateful for our son and what he means to our marriage. We are blessed!
