2011: Cricket (& Becky) in the spotlight

2011 started off with Shannon and I running our first half marathon together.  So awesome.  I LOVE half-marathons!  The year also started off with the Wasatch Woman fun.  Late in 2010 I received a shocking call at the office. I was told that I had been nominated as a Wasatch Woman in the Business Category. I was deeply touched to hear that my daughter had nominated me. She is an amazing writer :). After a process of interviews and voting, I was selected as the overall Wasatch Woman of 2011. It was a beautiful experience and as I sit here reflecting on that journey -- most special part was having dear family and friends there for the event. Those attending except for my closest family members, didn't know that I was going to be selected!  It will also be a special Becky/Cricket team memory as she helped me walk to the podium confidently.

I met my friend Bonnie this year.  She gave me a gift basket with this quote that I love: A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.  --Unknown.
