so take a minute just to breathe...

last week was insanely exhausting. i spent the week traveling in the beautiful state of colorado conducting employee benefit meetings. while it was great to be out in the field spending time with employees, by the time friday came around, i was more than excited to head home.

as i previously mentioned, i missed david cook's visit to the office. i am pretty bummed out about the whole thing mostly because i spent over an hour with beth on saturday at the heart walk and she didn't mention anything to me about his visit. although, i can see why she wouldn't tell me ;) and, i really don't think i mentioned that i was leaving the following day for colorado. i am sure my time will come, eventually. maybe in august during the idol tour? cross your fingers and toes for me!

in other news, the sale date for my company has been pushed out once again. we were targeting a july 1 close date and now that's been postponed until july 26. if the sale doesn't close by august 10, the companies involved have to go back to their respective boards to get re-approval of the deal. my guess is that this is all political (utilities have that reputation) and the missouri commission will wait as long as they possibly can (august 9) to close. i just wish that they understood the effect the delays are having on the impacted employees. the next few weeks are going to be completely nutso but that's partially my fault. i could spent more time organizing and less time obsessing over david cook. although, if the whole dc thing didn't happen i am sure that i would be 10x less engaged right now. wow, that was rather h.r. sounding!

so there you have it. it seems like life gets this busy every summer. and with the impending birth of the first cramer grandchild (my sis is 13 weeks pregnant!), the close of the sale, the annual dunn family canoe trip and my cousin's laguna beach wedding - i can already tell the next few months are going to be a little busy. just a little.

i woke up to a text from my wbff telling me that david cook came to visit our office today.
