On Thursday I packed my bags and headed to San Jose, Calif., for a two day work trip to support our client the USA Swimming Foundation and the annual Make a Splash Tour. What does this mean? In my world it means hours of media calls and emails to ensure the critical message of water safety gets told through print, TV and online stories while I am here. It’s not always easy or glamorous, but when you see smiles like these from local kids…it’s all worth it.

Instead of flying back to Denver today I opted for a flight to Los Angeles to visit family and celebrate our niece Olivia’s first birthday on Sunday! I am looking forward to fresh seafood at dinner and a homemade brunch in the morning before it’s time to board yet another plane.

Next week I am home for the entire week! A small miracle. I am beyond excited to get back into my fitness, eating and relaxation routine. I miss my Colorado friends and family!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend…
