Meet Remy!

A couple of Saturdays ago our group of friends got a lovely, last minute surprise – our dear friends Jonathan and Lacy were arriving in town from Houston with their newborn baby, Remy. We all gathered at Jill and Ben’s house to meet the little one. Cute is an understatement for this one – she was just as sweet and beautiful as can be. And my favorite part is how all of the guys seemed to hold her even more than the girls.

Meet Remy!

South Carolina

One of the many things that I love about my job is that I’m responsible for researching, and often visiting, hotels around the country for the meetings we have throughout the year. This past week I ventured to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina to check out a resort. The hotel was lovely, the accommodations were more than roomy (I had a two bedroom suite all to myself), and they even sent me a special treat to my room when I tweeted about my stay! Of course there was plenty of business to take care of too. As nice as it was, I’m so happy to be home. It snowed for the first time since 1989 and I was a full day late getting home, meaning I spent my Valentines Day in an airport. Here are the photos from my trip…

Redbull was very necessary in preparing to get ready for the trip

And every ounce is completely necessary...

Happy Birthday Baby Bear

Miss Sadie and her sister, Olive, where born THREE whole years ago. I can hardly believe it – my little baby bear is growing up! To celebrate the big day Todd took her to Pet Smart and picked out a bunch of treats and when they came home, I had another surprise waiting for her. I replaced her food bowls with a turkey cheddar appetizer and a water martini with heart shaped ice.

Yep. She’s spoiled.
