Gosh, I feel all gitty about this blog hop after a couple of months of being away. After returning from my deployment I needed some time to get back into a normal routine.
I had a few trial starts, but after much travel, I’m refreshed and more focused. I thank you for supporting me while I was away. You (yes YOU) will never know how much you helped me pass the time fairly quickly.
A Leadership highlight was the use of gold on our projects and I couldn’t resist the gold embossing powder. La Vida No Tiene Que Ser Perfecta Para Ser Maravillosa (Life doesn’t have to be perfect to be wonderful).
