Reviewing Last Week

Last week ended up being SO much busier than I had planned, but even so I accomplished everything I set out to do.

On Tuesday a good friend from Germany came for a little visit and brought her children. It was heartwarming to see our kids playing in the lake together and God always amazes me when my girlfriends and I get together after being parted. We were able to pick up where we left off and fill each other in on all the family and Germany news.

The same night my family got a surprise visit from my mom, step-dad and niece. They were flying home to AZ from Canada and got bumped in DC. -oh the joy of being a SWA employee- I'm so very glad that we live by a SWA hub because they caught the next flight to Norfolk and stayed for the night. It was a quick but wonderful visit.

On Wednesday Jeff had his class over for a BB-Q. It was nice to see his students and their families. We do this for each class. So every three months a new group troops in and spends a few hours playing in the lake and eating. Jeff teaches a military course at the local Staff College. They are all adults but some of them bring their spouses and children. It's great to meet them and play with their kids.

I accomplished all of my work goals last week, including sending out 5 queries.

I have received one pass and on Saturday I had a request for a partial! Yeah! I should find out within the next 3 to 6 weeks if this agent would like to represent me.

My WIP got a few hours out of me. I'm still doing research and playing around with the plot. It's coming together, slower than my other works but this one is such a work of heart, and those take time. Yeah!

My SINC group loved the Web site I put together for them. I am putting on all of our member info and will share it when I am finished.

I worked out all but Wednesday when I had a deep tissue massage that had me sore and in pain. But I did work out every other day last week. I am starting to feel more like my old self who was in GREAT shape. -before my back injuries and laziness hit! I'm not quite there yet but it is happening.

This week is full of FUN and friends. No work allowed! -besides this post-
My best friend's husband is retiring from a prestigious Military career. Which includes a few deployments, command time and he has been working at the White House for the last five years. When you retire from The White House they throw you a HUGE retirement party and we have been invited! I can't tell you how proud we are of him and his service to our country. We plan to PARTY with him and his family.
I hope to snap some photos to show you next week.

Please keep my aunt Becki and friend Kate McRae in your prayers. They are battling cancer and the fight is far from over. Both start treatment this week and we are praying for healing and strength.

Thanks for visiting me and I look forward to hearing about your week and the goals you accomplished.
