Senior Road Trip and Taxes Paid!

Today Sarah paid taxes for the first time!!!  She came in a little close to the deadline, but no worries.  She ended up having to pay Illinois taxes (go figure – this state is so screwed up)…

On a much better note, Metea Valley High School had their big end-of-the-year bash, which they called Senior Road Trip.  It looked absolutely amazing and they had so much going on.  The courtyard outside was all done up like Yellowstone, they had a Hollywood Boulevard, all kinds of games, food, etc.  Everything was all included with the hefty $50 ticket fee we had to pay.  🙂

There are so many pictures that it’s hard to give a good sense of how big this really was.  Don’t have any of Sarah that I know of (these were all taken by someone else), but I’ve attached a few below…

Sarah had a blast!  Before she knew it, it was 6am in the morning and things were winding down.  🙂

Leadership Re-Connect – Day 2

Today we had day 2 of our RLF Re-connect, and it was even better than the first day!  Cliff Higbee (our facilitator) flew out from Salt Lake just to be there with us.  He’s a great guy and we all respect him quite a bit.

We met at the Eaglewood Resort and found an area in the dining room where we had a couple of activities, mostly around catching up on what has been going on in our lives, and how our learning from RLF has helped us get through these trials and triumphs.  We also did a team building activity that Cliff brought.  He wanted to try something out on us before actually doing it in an RLF session.  We don’t mind being guinea pigs for this kind of thing!

At lunch, we drove down to Oakbrook, picked up some food from Portillo’s, and then went over to the Grant Thornton building to eat and finish the day.  I wanted to provide some give-back to the group, so I volunteered our facilities to do some presentations, etc.  We did a couple activities there, one of which was a 2-hour presentation from me on the Covey 4 Disciplines of Execution (4DX) process and how it can help us with our current business responsibilities.  It went very well and I got a lot of great comments!

After the presentations, we left and went over to the Claimjumper Restaurant for dinner.  Angela met us over there and it was great to have her meet all the folks that I have become such great friends with.  We had a great dinner and awesome discussion and then we went over to Lucky Strike (bowling alley) for the remainder of the night.  We had fun bowling and eating more food!

What a great last two days.  I can’t wait for the next event!  🙂
