Rain, Hot Cocoa & Aksel

It's Friday night and I'm sitting here listening to the rain, sipping hot cocoa and watching the Men's Super G skiing event. If you get a chance check out Aksel Svindal's story. Another week has rushed by. Last Friday I had lunch with Dez and caught up on her adventures last year on the other side of the globe. I swear she could write a book, she is such a great storyteller. Later that night I hit the road with Grace and Sara driving down to the desert to celebrate Abby's birthday and what a celebration it was! The kids got up bright and early to go paint balling with friends. We got out there later that morning to fire up the grill and get lunch ready for the hungry crew.

Later in the evening after dinner Abby opened her gifts and we had homemade ice cream cake to top it all off. Yum! Tuesday we celebrated the February office birthdays at Portillos in Buena Park. The rest of the week was quite busy with lots of meetings, running many reports and Banner and more Banner.
