Yeah Me!

I am an administrative assistant for a financial investment company here in Denver. I have worked here for a little more than 3 years. I just had my mid-year review with my boss. Out of the 180 client facing administrative assistant that work here, I am NUMBER ONE! Not only do I take a tremendous amount of pride in my work, I always give 110%! It has paid off as far as recognition!

I could not have made it with out fabulous advisors who have helped me, mentored me and motivated me to be the best I can be!

Happy 44th!

Birthday cake - from Dee (one of my favorite advisors at work)

Just a post for me!! Today I am 44!! My favorite number x 2 - YEAH ME! When Tyler was a baby, I thought about how old I would be when he turned 16. He will be 16 in 4 days and I feel like I have reached a milestone in my life. Sixteen years of being a single parent - would not recommend this to anyone! This has been the toughest challenges I have ever faced in my life so far.

I came close to being married a few years ago - a great guy - he just could not commit. He moved back to Utah almost 4 years ago and we haven't heard from him in for 2 years - exactly 2 years ago today!

I am thankful for my many blessings and for friends and family!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

Mormon Tabernacle Choir


The Prophet of our Church, Thomas S. Monson

Blessed with talent
Amazing Red Rocks

The Choir and Orchestra

Moon over Red Rocks


On Monday, June 29th, my friend from work, Anne and I went to see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir perform. It was amazing. The spirit was strong, the Prophet of our Church, Thomas S. Monson, was in the audience and my non-member friend Anne, was truly touched.

We went to dinner at Mimi's Cafe prior to the concert and then headed to Red Rocks for a beautiful evening of spectacular music.

I was able to answer some questions about the Church that Anne. She was very impressed by the music. My favorite songs were "Come Thou Font of Every Blessing", the title of their latest CD, Come, Come Ye Saints, God Bless America and the encore, God Be With You.

Even though Anne is not a member of our Church, she holds high values, she is an amazing person and I thankful to call her my friend.
