LIfe's Been Good to Me so Far
Many of you can relate to the title of this post...I think that most of us have had very good lives...some rough spots for sure, but, in general, we are all blessed with friends and family that love us, roofs over our heads, great jobs and a secure future. Considering what we see on the news from our country and abroad every day, we should all feel blessed.
I was thinking about this as I sat in the first class cabin of a Continental jet, sipping a cocktail on my way to a business trip where I would be staying four days in the Ritz Carlton in Cancun, Mexico. Yes, life is going to be a bit different at my new job...;-)
For those of you blogaids that don't know, my last day at Nestle was last Friday. I lasted about 19 months in the corporate world and have now gone back to the consulting world. Back with the 'band'. This will be my third go-around with EquaTerra and my fourth with my unofficial mentor, Patrice. So, as luck would have it, the EquaTerra annual summitt was occurring two days after my last day at Nestle...so, I was off to Mexico to reacquaint myself with my former colleagues and to meet the many new peeps that have joined the team since I left...EQ has become more international and is up to 160 advisors (I think I was employee number 10 the first time, number 50 the second time...number 150 something this time).
Anyway, I will be on the bench/beach for the next couple weeks waiting to be staffed on a job. Playing a little golf...doing some work around the house...hopefully doing some research projects for EQ. Not sure where I will be first, but could be Chicago...that would be my preference.
Still no word on the house...it has now been on the market almost 3 months. We have some peeps who have looked at it 3 times and our realtor thinks an offer may be pending...just not sure how much...soft market is a thorn in our side. :-/
Liska and Hagen continue to be wonderful kids. Liska is doing great with her alphabet and counting and Hagen is a crawling king and has even started crawling up the stairs! We expect him to be walking before his first birthday. And if he is not, we will just put him on eBay and be done with this whole "two kid" experiment.
OK...more pics next time...much love to all!

Did you sell your house? If so, when do you close? We are heading to San Diego 3/10. Love, hugs, and kisses. Your sister:)
