Miami with Brad and Emily (March 2009)

I am super proud of Brad. His company recognized him for all his hard work for Outstanding Service as Chaplain of the Year 2008. This recognition came with a expense paid trip to South Beach-Miami, Florida. We had a great stay and enjoyed the sites of Miami. Here are a few shots of our trip.

Brad and I all gussied up for the award dinner.

Here we are enjoying a warm afternoon with a nice, cool beverage at a local bar.

Brad looking quite damper if I may say so myself before going to get his picture taken which will be posted in his office as Chaplain of the Year.

On this trip, we were offered accommodations at the Ritz Carlton. It was a GREAT place to stay (especially because it was paid for). Here a few pictures of the room and pool area.

I have to admit the bathroom was my favorite part of the room. The first door on the right is the shower and the second door closer to the mirror is the toilet room. The bathroom was just so super roomy and big. I really liked it and want to build one in my house. :-)

Tupperware with Kay Sedia

Tonight I was invited to a Tupperware Party. My initial thought, was NO WAY!! I don't need to pay $50 for a salad spinner that I don't need. But I decided to go ahead and go after I found out the consultant is a proud Latina drag queen named Kay Sedia (yes, like quesidilla). It was a riot and I had a great time. Here are a few shots for enjoyment.

Rachel's Time Out in California

Yes my blog followers...I am still alive. I know it has been a long time since I have written, but it has just been an extremely busy time right now both personally and professionally. I was given a phone call last week, however, which allowed me to keep my mind off of some of the things I can't control. My youngest sister, Rachel, called and said I am coming over next week. This was exciting news considering she lives in Kansas. I was thrilled and we have had a fun few days together. Here are a few shots of our time together. Thank you Rachel for coming out. Love you!
