I want to start this blog by talking about Pearl Jam. I was finally able to see Pearl Jam in concert last night and it was worth every penny! They played for 2 1/2 hours, and put on one hell of a show. It ranks in the top 5 best concerts I have seen. Maybe #2, second to Carbon Leaf.
Seeing Pearl Jam has been on my list for many many years, I missed when they came to St. Louis 6 years ago, and was not going to miss them again. I have a short list of people and bands that I wanted to see.
Tom Petty, Robin Williams, Pearl Jam, Elton John (laugh if you must be I hear he puts on an amazing show) and the Eagles. I have seen them all except Elton John. Those are the shows that no matter the price, I wanted to see them. Robin Williams was awesome and worth the money.
So, moving on. Work has been going great! I feel as if I have found the job that I was meant to do. I love the DOOH (Digital Out of Home) world, it is so fascinating, and being on the cutting edge of technology excites me. For those of you who wonder what I do. My title is V.P. Of Business Development. Which means I handle the sales, and the sales people and new technology. For example: One of the things that I am working on is Sun Light readable touch screens that are weather resistant, expensive, but possible. On a smaller scale I am looking to incorporate an automatic hand sanitizer into the side of the AO for outdoor events. So, my days are crazy, which makes them fly by.
The downside is that I drive 45 minutes each way, which is tough and makes my day that much longer. And with me being so busy, Emily has really stepped up around the house, which makes me feel bad. So, I am trying to re focus my time so I can back on the helping around the house train. When I worked from home I was able to help all the time, run the errands, keep the houe picked up, etc. So, Emily has been amazing the past few months, a little upset that I have fallen off on the help, but I am getting back to it.
Emily will be moving to 1st grade next year. She will miss 4th grade, but it will be less work at night. 4th graders tend to work on their own more, so she has some down time during the day, not much, but some. But she has 1-2 hours of school work when she gets home. 1st grade is not stop all day, but no work when she gets home. She is pretty excited about it, but sad to leave 4th.
Soccer season will start up at the end of June, not sure where I am going to find the time to coach, but I enjoy being on the field wayyyy too much not to coach.
Pool should be open and ready to go with the heater rolling this weekend, so some quality lounging time is in store.
Emily and I started doing P90X, we are on week 2. It is a 90 day intense work out. We work out 6 days a week at 4:45, people are getting amazing results. Emily is looking great (not that she ever looked bad). She can fit into her jeans from freshman year of college. She ran her first 10K last week, and now is running 4 or 5 miles like it is no big thing. I am real proud of her for working so hard.
That is the main updates in our lives, all is well, we are both healthy and happy and Winston is still fat.
Keep on Keeping on! Mrrrrrr!
