Yep, just finishing up here in St. Louis and then Pete and I are off to the airport to go back to Colorado. It has been a long trip, sometimes great and other times, not so great. I have done my best to keep up with everyone and all of their requests during my vacation, but it resulted in very little vacation, lots of stress and even less downtime?next time, I will do this very differently.



The highlights, were camping in Cape Hatters and walking on the beach, going sailing and Kayaking in Wilmington (Pete and I are both SCUBA instructors, so we love the water and all the sports that go with it!), and spending time with my nieces and nephews. This part was just great.

Running around like crazy, dealing with 12 hour plane delays and not being able to make everyone happy despite my best efforts were the parts that were not so great.

At the end of the year, Pete and I are going to take just a few days to ourselves?announced far in advance and I am not going to bring my cell phone or a computer?pretty bold'I know. But as we all grow and learn, I need to learn to let go of it from time to time as well. So, watch me grow'I too have areas that I need to get better at soon!

Thanks so much to all of you that were patient with me getting back to you in a slightly delayed fashion. I appreciated your patience and understanding and will look forward to having you all on the next call as well as seeing many of you next week in the Property Designer Training event.

To your growth and wealth (and lots and lots ofmoney)
