It was such fun watching him do all the courses, not too mention, dominate the field.  His Mom and I were so proud.  To think back at that moment, over 3 years ago, when he came into the world with so much struggle and gave us all a scare, to this moment…..what a miracle!  There were so many moments when I had to fight back the tears.  I can’t (along with everyone that has laid eyes on this precious boy) imagine life without him!  He has taught us all so much.  Today I saw an Olympian!  A true fighter…..never quitting.   Our little fair-haired soldier! 

Finley, you are my HERO!!!  I love you so much…..Aunt Lissa!

I attended my second Douglas County Divas event tonight, and it was fantastic!  Since last month’s meeting I have had the pleasure of sitting down with two of the three Diva creators, Pam and Theresa.  I will say this….these ladies are the real deal!  They are so genuine and nice, so easy to talk to….you’ve got to meet them!  I finally got to meet Heidi tonight as well, and she’s just as great!  Those three make a great team!

This month’s event started out at the super chic, new store, Chrysalis, located in the fabulous new Streets at Southglenn.  It was here that we all gathered to chat, shop and register for the fantastic door prize giveaways!  After a little while we all headed over (walked a few steps) to Bar Louie for the rest of the evening.  I can’t begin to tell you how amazing these events are for networking.  You have the chance to meet and talk to so many great women about what it is they do and how you can each be a part of helping each other out in the business world.  I have only been to two of these events and I have made such great contacts and received so much good feedback from my business….it’s so fun!  I can’t say it enough!  Come to the next event and just see for yourself. 

What was really cool about this month’s event as well, was that I was able to bring my camera along and take some pics.  I created a slideshow of some of the images, so if you want to take a look…..click here!

Erin came into his life not too long ago and I have loved getting to know her more in this past year.  They are perfect for each other and are truly in love….I know, because I see it on their faces everytime they are together.  Love is such a great thing!  I’m a fan.

They had a beautiful wedding in February, in California, but I was unable to attend.  You can check some of the image from that day, here.  Their photographer did a fantastic job.  I’m always in awe of wedding photographers.  It is such a big job and one that honestly scares me to death.  Anyhoo…..I hated to miss it, but I was so excited to hear of a CO Reception that was being planned by Mike’s parents, for those of us that weren’t able to make the wedding. 

The reception was at Maggiano’s and there was dinner and dancing and a great time of hanging with other friends and family.  I was so grateful to be asked to bring my camera along and take some shots.  It was so much fun meeting everyone and just being a part of that great celebration! 

I am posting a few of my favorites from that night.  You can also view a slideshow I put together. 

I have to say, I was a bit hesitant.  I’m not really the “go get em’” kind of girl.  I could picture myself sitting alone in the corner of the room watching all the other business women exchange cards while having great conversation.  I decided I needed to take a friend with me….you know, my wingwoman so to speak.   

The meetings are free and are held at fabulous local restaurants.  This month’s meeting was at one of the new restaurant’s in The Vistas at Park Meadows, called, La Sandia.  All us crazy business women took over the top floor of this place and had a blast chatting it up and snacking on some fabulous appetizers. 

My neighbor and friend, Julia, and I went out full force to pass out business cards and just mingle and have fun!  I was able to meet some really fantastic women in my area and talk with them about their businesses and what it was that they were passionate about.  It was a great way to discuss possible joint promotional ideas and figure out ways to just help each other out. 

I’m guessing there were close to 150+ women there that night and I only got to talk with about 30.  So, needless to say, I’ll be going  back to the April event in a few weeks.  If you are a business woman in the Douglas County area and are looking for ways to meet and collaborate with other fantastic women, you should definitely come to the next event!

I’ll leave you with this fabulous picture of me taken by my camera phone while rockin’ my tiara (given to me by another great business called, Tiara Training) at this month’s event.
