2009... And, we're off....

So, for almost a month I have enjoyed being home in Iowa, spending time with my hubby, sister and friends. My first "gig" this year wasn't until January 26th- and it was in Tampa... yes, that is home of the Super Bowl this year... yes, the Super Bowl in which the Steelers are playing! I arrived early enough on Sunday to enjoy the NFL Experience (for the mere price of $18.50- thank you, NFL) at Raymond James Stadium. There were Steelers fans from all over-- the Nation travels well-- hopefully they "kick off" a great start to 2009-- it will make my household happy! Next week I am back in Miami-- fine with me- the high is supposed to be 20 here! Go Steelers!

17 months later....

Finally... after nearly a year and a half- I am making my first "real"post. What a wonderful, whirlwind of a year, plus!! I still have my own corporation, Provider Insights, Inc- but I contract with Cahaba and OAI- both have given me wonderful adventures, all around the nation. I will try to recap 2008- at least for my own sanity!

Jan: Camp Hill, PA; Cedar Knolls, NJ; Encino, CA; Chicago, IL; Bridgeport, WV; Pittsburgh, PA; Chippewa Falls, WI

Feb: Tampa, FL; Miami, FL (NICE in Feb when you live in Iowa! This was one of our worst winters in the last two decades- but I was in warm states so often, I hardly noticed!)

March: Sioux Falls, SD; Salem, OR; Atlanta, GA (Sorry, Davy- one of my first gigs scheduled for the year was in OR, on his 40th bday! We made up for it that weekend!)

April: Bozeman, MT; State College, PA; Washington DC (Thank you to Jenni and Brian for making my Bday SOOO memorable and great while in DC! Best Sangria ever!); Pierre, SD; Peoria, IL; Grand Island, NE; Providence, RI; East Lansing, MI

May: Casper, WY; Pinehurst, NC; Mc Allen, TX; Harrisburg, PA; Chicago, IL; Portland, ME; St. George, UT; Las Vegas, NV

June: Harrisburg, PA; Columbia/Baltimore MD; Richmond, VA; Orlando, FL

July: Brunswick, GA; Dallas, TX; Las Vegas, NV (spent a week in Vegas!!)

August: Nashville, TN; Mc Allen TX (Best Mexican food ever- Palenques!) And Davy and I went to Vancouver, BC for a week and saw Radiohead!

September: Wallingford, CT (with a wonderful time with my girlfriend, reunited at our 20 year class reunion- Tammy!); Springfield, VA; Peoria, IL; Willimamsburg, VA; Madison, MS; Billings, MT

October: Norcross, GA; King of Prussia, PA; Bismarck, ND; Skokie, IL; Ft Lauderdale, FL (here for 5 days, one where our fearless leader, LINDA, took us to the Bahamas!!); Concord, NH; Boston, MA; Morgantown, WV; Buffalo, NY (saw the falls- beautiful!); Independence, OH and DENVER with my girl, Rochelle- just for fun!

November: Portland, ME; Tampa, FL; and PITTSBURGH for a week with my sweetie for two Steelers games and a Penguins game!

December: Last week was Salt Lake City, UT- which I loved! Temple Square and the "sisters" who toured you around were beautiful! I then took a "red eye" to Florida, and in the morning arrived to Linda ready with a Monster, Rockstar and Diet Coke. All were gone by 9:00 am.

This week: I was in Ft Lauderdale, FL, then Baltimore, and now in Delaware as I write this! (not much to do here off of I-95 in DE- so finally getting this Blog thing going!) Next week: Canton OH... then home for the holidays and new year!

I am SO entirely lucky-- I love the travel, the people, the experiences-- but it helps remind me that I love my home, my Davy, my friends and family even more!

Hello!

Hello, everyone!

This will be my blog, to keep in touch with friends and family, and to document my "adventures!" I have been very lucky in life to have a job where I travel alot, and on any given day could be anywhere in the nation! I look forward to sharing pictures and stories, because as you know, if you don't share an experience-- you are missing out on more than half the fun!! Life is meant to be shared...
