Well my peeps have been getting restless for an update, so here we go...
Threw a kick-ass congress in Prague for work... record number of attendees and the best conference/event we've ever had, I believe. Great joint effort from my team.
Right after that was the industry's biggest trade show in Amsterdam... which meant coming back from Prague and going right to work over the weekend... took one day off, then took three days off this past week to recover.
Went to the eye doctor and found out that they've PROBABLY over-conservatively treated me with the laser, and I'm stuck with around -1.00 (average) in each eye, which means I will have to wear glasses. Fuck. And they'll re-laser me in a few months to try to get me to 0.00. Which really sucks. Oh well. At least the price included everything and I'm not paying more. And -1.00 is a HELL of a lot better than -7.00!
Oh, and Wilbert and I are getting married next year. :-) HE SAID YES to the question I asked him in the horse-drawn carriage in Central Park in New York on New Year's Day. He doesn't make decisions quickly, but he's taught me patience over the years, so it all worked out! :-) We'll look at doing a multi-national thing, with the civil marriage ceremony taking place in Holland, and a more spiritually oriented thing taking place in either Des Moines or Washington D.C. We'll see! So I get to spend the rest of my life with the most wonderful man in the world, and I'm very happy (and a little bit giddy) about the whole thing! :-) Ik hou van je, lieve poepie!
