I wrote this entry as I was heading from San Jose to Los Angeles, missed the tsunami, thank you God! I was a bit panicked this morning when I woke up and saw that on my Google page. Never been so literally scared could not think straight. Dad freaked me out saying I was in the water funnel and to possibly get a car and head for the mountains, Got to love him. Mike got mad at me because he said I was freaking out over nothing. I’ve been to many cities in so little time, Las Vegas, (the drive to Orlando, San Antonio, San Jose. Started February 13th and I am a bit wiser in many ways. First seeing the landscape of the country makes me wonder why I live in MI. Mike and I and the family belong somewhere else. With the beautiful landscape and variety you love. I met some great people, in the past month. IFA – were all trying to do the same make a living and have fun. I’ve had conversations with many different types of people. IFA and the team at Reach Local, various franchisees, for some reason Tastee Delight, Dunkin Donuts, A&W all seem to stick out. I work for a giant in the industry and am so lucky to be able to touch and impact so many business owners. We are ahead of so many marketing teams, we have talent overflowing. The drive to FL was interesting, sitting on the beach that one day was so nice, got a great tan, and drank margaritas with the family. I am so lucky to have such a great mother in law and two great kids and an awesome husband. What can I do for my husband who has been home for a month basically on his own. He needs a vacation a medal something for all his hard work. I wish I could take him with me on all these trips. The more people I meet the more I realize that he is someone special. Nothing I didn’t already know, that’s why I married him. His personality lends himself to be such a leader. I wish he could get out and overcome his anxiety as this is holds him back from so much. His strengths with people and the ability to properly assess the situation in seconds is a gift. Not to mention that he does not sugar coat anything. I met people from all over the world and has changed my perspective on life. Love taking care of his people. I will trust that loving kindness will souround me. I am blessed!
