What it feels like to fulfill a friends' dream?!!!???!!!!

Last week I was in Boston...and in doing so...I grabbed a seat at the Blue Man Group in the Charles Playhouse.  I was so excited cause I was sitting in an area that could potentially get me a spin art.  

2 years prior I was in Las Vegas getting the spin art for the grand-opening of the Monte Carlo.  2 years ago, I considered my collection complete.  

For my friend Joe, though, he had never gotten one.  They are hard to come by now!  You cannot purchase them anymore and you have to sit in the general area to be given one and make a true connection with the blue man. ;)  

I had a mission.  GET THE SPIN ART FOR JOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Folks, I'm here to tell you...after 2 years of waiting - Joe finally got his spin art delivered just in time for his late birthday celebration!  Congrats Joe!!!

Here are the images of me getting it at the theater!  
I met a blue man fan there also!!!! :) 

The spin art - has made it home to Joe!!!! YAY!!!!

Saying goodbye to a classmate : Uriah

I had the pleasure of spending some quality time with Uriah and his wife Jamie up in Arkansas...just before the 4th of July!  

Uriah had battled a brain tumor in the last year or so, but had gotten news there was a 2nd one manifesting.  I took it upon myself to not have a life regret and go see him quickly.  We had the BEST day walking around the city with them and to top it off - I saw another classmate that was his best friend during school.  It was like life fast-forwarded 20 years...and there we were. :) 

I'm greatful I got to have all day with them and ending it with fireworks.
I'm greatful to reconnect with Jamie.  
I'm thankful I could see him one last time, even though we thought he would stick around this summer.
I'm thankful I got to hear Jamie sing inside the church where they got married.
There is just so much awesome during that day.

If you think about it or read this - please send some love and prayers to Uriah's friends and family.

to you dear Uriah...we were voted most likely to succeed-  and we DID.
WE SUCCEEDED ....you are missed already!

Thanks Uriah for being one of the few people I could keep in contact since we graduated in 1994!!!!
You are a huge success.
Thank you friend!
