Trying to catch up!

Our walking spot - a beautiful garden in Reading

Things have definitely been hectic and I let my blog updates slip! I think it would be pretty much impossible to catch up on everything that's occurred, but I'll at least give the cliff notes version.

It's been a complete rollercoaster with our house and unfortunately the ride is not over yet. We weren't able to close on Monday due to a field review and now we're not even sure if we're going to be able to get our house. :-( The good news is that it's definitely a buyer's market and there are plenty of options out there. I have faith that it will all work out the way it's supposed to!

The Skyline Trail - Hawk Mt. Yep, we hiked this trail!

We got back from Pennsylvania late Saturday night and it was an amazing trip. I am drowning in information and can't wait to get it all in order and a good solid action plan in place. In my heart and soul, I know that I made the right decision and it feels amazing to be aligned with a company that echoes my values. I had an opportunity to meet new affiliates and it was my pleasure and honor to become friends with them. I'm looking forward to a long friendship with each of them.

Being in Pennsylvania once again made me question why it is I live in the desert. While I don't regret moving out here, I do miss back East... the green, seasons, farmland, clean air. Ah - the air smells so good I wish I could package it and bring it home with me! Oh well, one day we might have a farm in PA. :-)

I did get to talk with Brandy for the first time - unfortunately it was while I was on the bus to pick up our rental car, but it was so great to hear her voice! Poor kid has been really sick but it doesn't seem to be slowing her down at all. She's doing well, passing her inspections, and keeping focused on her goals. I know she's homesick and it makes me miss her that much more. I can't wait to see her - we leave two weeks from tomorrow!
