Don't know where to start

So.... I have been a little busy.

Here is a snapshot of the past week. I will have time for details soon... or so I hope.

May 24-26 - Las Vegas to visit with Susan and Gin. My two best friends since high school. Whirlwind weekend visit that felt like a week long relaxing vacation. I love Susan and Gin!

Gin, Susan & Kelly

May 28 - 29 - Columbus. I was awarded the Reflection Award from Bath & Body Works. Huge honor for me. Got spoiled rotten at Home Office. AND they announced my promotion to Assistant for our West Zone Vice President Ron Ford. Could work be any more exciting right now?

Ken Montera - Bath & Body Works National Sales Manager
Kelly Carr -
Zone Assistant for West Zone ZVP
Diane Neal - Bath & Body Works President and COO

Oh yeah - Now through June 10th - I am training Jason to take the Regional Assistant position in between my travels and training and move to a new office.
Jason and I worked at Express and we have become good frien
ds over the years. He keeps me updated on all the happenings with my old Express family. Now I suppose he is following in my footsteps - the path to weekends off and some free time! I am happy for Jason and his family. For his wife Melissa and his three boys to get to spend more time together will be the biggest benefit of the job change. That and having me train him. Ha ha!
Jay & K at Jay's going away party for Express

Then we come to today. The reason I had to sit down and take a moment. Wes is taking L to an Anime convention. L is going as a Naruto character - Deidara. Wes is going as Speed Racer.
Yeah.... that is why you are getting this before all the other stuff. I HAD to share. I am sure they will take lots of pictures and all and I will share some when I get them.

Getting Ready

Looking beautiful and silly all in the same 5 minutes


Speed Racer and Deidara - quite a pair

I will catch you up soon - Along with all the other stuff going on in my life . . . I am training , have a trip to California next week, move into my new office the following week, have a class reunion of sorts to plan and am headed to Detroit the following week. So... be patient with me.

Oh - I can't wait to see Blair's comments. (laughing a little now thinking about it)

Lauren had a blast yesterday and they went again today with one of Lauren's friends. Funny stuff.

So, I hope Wes took the scarf and helmet off while driving to the convention. . . .hmmm. He should wear this outfit when out railfaning. I will say he looks quite sporty in that little number. Ah, the things we do for our kids.
