I don't know if it is exhaustion or exhilaration that is going to keep me from writing everything I feel about this past week. But for tonight, I am going to have to let a few pictures, "say a thousand words!" It has been a ride, the ride of my life at this point, and I am so happy to have reached this milestone in our career and in our family life--feeling a little prideful of my friends and family today!<br />

It is only fitting we opened two buildings, a formal one for Steve and a slightly more comfortable one for Dave. A craftsman and a businessman--a perfect partnership! I love both these guys and being part of their big dreams!<br />

After a rather wild ride in April, Steve asked me if I could meet him in Albuquerque for the weekend. The stars lined up, Heather enlisted Andy to help "babysit" her children and I caught a flight. We spent Saturday and Sunday in Santa Fe doing what we could never do with young children, walking through the galleries, admiring the turquoise jewelry and sitting on the patios enjoying the authentic mexican dinners.<br />

After six plumbers in a row refused to come help, Zac took it upon himself to save the family from themselves. After a few phone pictures and a trip to Home Depot, he set about on a 48 hour project that involved hoses, pipes, shop vacuums, showers in Lysol, very loud music, lots of four letter words, and some of the funniest moments I have experienced in a long time. but he "gotter dun!"</div>

I forgot my camera card, but iPhone to the rescue--Rachelle, Sarah and I had a girls night out at the cabin to watch the meteor shower--one was all we could muster before we froze--meteor showers are a summer affair I have decided--however, Rachelle channelling her inner Giada more than made up for the lack of star power!<br />

Steve had cataract surgery this past week. Every day since, he has remarked several times a day about how clear everything is, how vibrant the colors are and how much happier he feels. I know in a small way what he is talking about. After a very long winter, of having everything clouded with a grey film...we spent a weekend in Southern Utah. I felt the same way. Everything was so clear and vibrant and it made me so happy!<br />

We were fortunate enough to take a weekend trip to New York City over Thanksgiving weekend. It was a mellow trip in light of the difficult week before, but it also provided a chance to be together as a family--as a mother, I have always enjoyed having my family "confined" together in a small space--for a short time anyway.<br />

It was a weekend of window shopping which was an experience in and of itself. So ladies, cropped pants, bright shoes and the need to lose twenty pounds seems to be the style of the season. And once again--didn't see any "butt bling" in the fashion capital of the U.S.</div>

We also spent the big bucks and went to "The Book of Mormon" it was raunchy, irreverent and had a very sweet story. I am glad we saw it. It did what Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators of South Park do best--hits you right between the eyes with truth wrapped up in some very funny lines. There is a reason is has remained so popular, because it speaks to everyone who has ever "believed," no matter what the religion. Not to mention incredible music and dancing.</div>

As always, my favorite part of visiting any city is our "walk-about!" Just walking with no where to go, wandering in and out of shops, seeing where people actually live, checking out the dog-walkers, eating in small out of the way crepe shops, watching kids play on school grounds, watching students at NYU and pretending for a few minutes that I am just another New Yorker--although I am afraid my Nikon around my neck gives me away!</div>

Skyscraping buildings keep him looking heavenward. This week standing at "Ground Zero," at the 9/11 memorial, I totally got it! It was a reminder of all things sacred--birth, death, rebirth, and the peace that can follow tragedy. What an inspired place of healing!"<br />

After a challenging week, I found myself very reflective. I have felt a tie to this part of New York ever since my first visit there shortly after 9/11 when the gaping hole and gaping wound in the soul of our country was still fresh. Ten years later, the city is healing. There is a feeling of peace in this place of so much heartache. I was so touched by the design of the memorial, it is certainly a place where art transcends the tragedy.<br />

Standing in a very long line to get into the memorial I was amazed by the gathering of so many different people from so many different places all bonded together by this experience--it is so important that we occasionally travel, spread our wings and fly above our provincial lives to see that we are still all americans, all sharing in this american experience, all desiring peace--especially after this divisive election season.</div>

Beau smiling brightly in front of the beautiful, gorgeous, sparkling kitchen....and it is theirs. Their dishwasher to unload, their table to set, their meal to enjoy....and I love that before each meal they toast their great lives!<br />

And the real reason I tear up when I walk through the door is that this home, this Friend's Clubhouse is a lesson to me of the power of a dream, the power of prayer and faith and hope and friendship and the power of good women who want to make a difference. I have shared my heart with these ladies and in deep, late-night conversations we have shared our souls and struggles and hopes. Kathy and Stacy have been surrogate mothers to Andy and love him like he was their own--and in more ways than one he is their own. I have learned to trust more, believe deeper and laugh harder because of this wonderful experience. <a href="http://www.friendsclubhouse.com/">FriendsClubhouse</a> is about more than just the adults who attend each day. It has catered to my special needs too!</div>

The sky always captures me and this time the stars were phenomenal--only I can't take pictures of them. We happened to hit the Orionid meteor shower so I made Jake get up in the wee hours of the morning to watch it with me--in the freezing cold--but so worth it!<br />

My little lesson from mother nature--the pine beetle has decimated so many trees, it is painful to see how many trees have fallen, but then again the forest floor is alive with new growth. I need to remember this when "beetles" attack--new growth is not far behind to replace it!<br />
