The year I turned 45!!!

Between the anniversary of losing my father-in-law, almost losing my little sister, and then losing my baby brother, I’d say 2019 took a few solid swings on my gut.  There was a myriad of other jabs here and there, but nothing we all don’t go through on the daily.  I just wanted to take the time to say it was also a year plenty full of blessings and good times and here are some highlights:

Ø  Spoke at ShmooCon, BSides Tampa, DerbyCon and ToorCon

Ø  Jumped out of an airplane

Ø  My big brother became a Chief of the Fire Department in Memphis!

Ø  My oldest son started working at my company and my youngest son paid cash for his first car!

Ø  I didn’t run an ultra for the first time in 8 years but I did a 40 mile gravel ride and ran a 10k trail race with my son

Ø  Celebrated my husband’s 40th birthday in New Orleans with our boys and his mom

Ø  Took the trip of a lifetime with my youngest to Santorini Greece

 

And its not over yet.

Here’s to finishing strong and making 2020 (the year my oldest graduates from college and youngest graduates from high school) a terrific year!!

I’m thankful for all of you that make my life a richer place and hope I contribute to yours in a positive way.

Be well,

The last event of the year I participated in was BeerConOne and it was AMAZING.  Every bit of fit.

Every participant, the format, the hosts, the content, the mood, the causes, the participants – I loved it and am so glad I did it and can say I was among such a stellar group of folks.
