Wow, it's really been over a year since I have posted here.

A lot has happened in this past year.

Jeff's company closed his sales desk in Boston and he had to look for and found a great new job even in this tough economy, I was offered the job of a lifetime and what many know is my "dream job" as the Director of Leisure Sales for Fairmont Hamilton Princess and Fairmont Southampton, my 2 favorite hotels in Bermuda, Alyssa graduated high school and now lives in North Carolina as a freshman at East Carolina University with plans of becoming an Occupational Therapist, Frankie is still home with us plugging away at high school, and I lost my mother to breast cancer 3 months ago. Cancer sucks and I am still trying to get over the pain of the loss of such an incredible mom. She was on her 3rd round in her 20+ years of battling this shitty disease. This time it got the best of her but damn, she put up a good fight. She was an amazing woman and I owe a lot of my life's successes to her. I miss her a ton, every single day.

My best news of the year is that I have just been given another clean bill of health. I still visit my awesome oncologist, Dr. Hammond every 6 months and he gives me the good news. I always get anxious and scared leading up to my visit but I have been lucky to walk away with a huge sigh of relief for another 6 months. Amen.
