WOW So really, what a crazy few months it has been. Between Emma coming home after spending most of the summer at camp Grandma's, school shopping, Orientation, Open house, 7 classes - shocking to Emma herself, me going to school, we have been going CRAZY. Not to mention the stuff going on in my office and naturally the Xymogen International Sales Meeting in Grand Cayman, we are ready for our lives to slow down so that we can continue to refocus on our wedding plans that were put on a drastic halt as of late. Nothing screams savings deficit like having to replace your growing daughter's entire wardrobe over one summer from all this growing she insists on doing PLUS a whole new list of school supplies, provided by the school (which turns out to be incorrect - and you have to buy all kinds of other stuff). BUT on the plus side, although we had a few freak outs at home about the amount of classes and homework (which yes, we warned her about, but what do we know?!), Emma has all A's and one B on her progress report. WE are SOOOOO Proud of her!
So, last week was the Xymogen ISM in Grand Cayman. MY, wasn't that an expensive trip for us! We didn't know that our dollar is worth crap there, so a $1 soda can here, cost damn near $5 in the Caymans. LOL The trip itself was great though, aside from the tropical depression, the horrible flights back, freaking out about getting kicked off the plane (don't ask.... stupid agents), Customs and Immigration 9million times, Gate Changes in horrible Miami International Airport, AND the pool being drained 2 days into the trip. LOL the good things were meeting a lot of new people, seeing Mike at work and helping him out so that he didn't go insane, putting names and faces together when meeting sales reps, and seeing a Company Leader truly excited about his Team. We were greeted by Giant Iguanas and departed in a tropical storm. The time in between was priceless.
NOW that we are home though, its time to seriously put some thought into this wedding. We had lots of questions of "when is the wedding? Where is the wedding?" etc. and honestly, these need to become things we can answer. SO, Next we go to Dubsdread this weekend and try and schedule a date for this extravaganza, then, get the Family together for some serious dress shopping!
