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!
