Okay. I know you are all hating me and wondering if I fell off the planet. I am still here!!! We have been really busy.

I just got back from my first businness trip. I flew to Tucson, Arizona for the AGTA GemFair. It was a really wonderful experience. I feel like I have grown up. I actually flew there by myself and did not freak out!! Tucson was beautiful!! I met the most amazing people!! I worked like a dog...really long hours, sold memberships and products, made fat cash, networked...had a blast!! So glad to be home!! I missed Riley and Brad SOOOO much!! We had fun though. I included some pics of my co-workers.

The weekend before I left, my little Riley got sick. I thought it was Strep or something, we went to the doctor that Monday Feb 4th. Well, she had the FLU!!!!!!!! I was like OMG!! I am leaving town tomorow how do I keep from getting it?! Call my Dr., beg for something. She calls in some Tamiflu, go to pick it up from Walgreens, all while trying to work 9 hours a day and get packed for my trip. Pharmacist tells me that the side affects can be just as bad as the actual flu and to make matters worse, it cost me $60.00...really????? So, that night my little doodle's fever shot up to 104.2~!!!~ You all know how I am prone to freaking out...yep~~that did it!! I was crying, calling my Mom, calling my Mom-in-law, trying to calm down. All the while, my sweet husband is remaing cool and collected. Luckily, she broke the fever and rested well. I think I almost had a nervous breakdown!! She was so lethargic and burning up!! I am so grateful and amazed at her. She is now mostly better, running all over the place, loud and proud...my sweet little doodle bug!! Did I mention that while I was in Tucson, I started feeling bad?
It really sucks to be talking to people and sneezing like 10 times in a row, Wiping your nose and feeling like SH*T! Oh~~~and Brad got it too!! Guess next year we may consider a flu shot...doubt it but maybe.

I promise to update at least once a week...not promising pics yet...but I will try!!

Like my sis Rachel says...leave a comment people!! That is what this thing is for!!!
