Finally, after conflicting schedules nearly crumbled any chance Christine and I of meeting up before she left for D.C. again, it actually happened. So, for a little under 2 hours, we sat in Barnes and Noble and chatted away. As always, it was a great talk. I'm seriously in awe of the amount of work she's put in and where she's currently at in her career/life. Talking to her and seeing how she's maintained the same attitude and outlook on everything is very humbling and, quite frankly, a bit inspirational. For those of you who don't know Christine...she's going to be doing BIG THINGS in her lifetime. BIG. THINGS. And the fact that she makes time to meet up in her already hectic schedule speaks loudly to me. It doesn't hurt that she's constantly smiling, either. Just another genuinely good person. I'm very lucky that I can call so many good people my friends. Very lucky.
That was really the highlight of the day. Had some good meals, Josh came over and we watched the Tigers lose to the Sox (oh well...you can't win 'em all). Now I'm sitting in bed thinking about catching up on missed sleep from the weekend. It's going to happen.
Oh, and one more thing. Mike arrived back in MI tonight with a new job ready to be worked. So massive kudos goes out to him. And sooner than I can imagine, Meg will be back up here too. Wow...this is crazy.
