Let's talk work.

I quit consulting work 18-months ago but that doesn't mean that I don't care about my old projects or clients. In fact, I still get a thrill out of driving by the projects that I designed. So, imagine my surprise when I received an email with this attachment last week!
I was the Project Manager for the civil engineering on this museum for 3 years before I left my old gig. The design was challenging and you will never see my work since it is mostly buried in the plaza but I'm still proud.  This invitation is very gratifying and I can't wait to see the final product!

Anyone out there?

It has been 8 months since I posted here and there have been a lot of changes and happenings here: 

Yes!  I am a working pilates instructor but it is just too much to sustain at this pace.  Downtime is non-existent at the Ross house.  I'm teaching on average 4 days a week between the City of Lakewood and Pilates of Cherry Creek.  Ideally I will find a way to combine my new love into a more reasonable pace.  On a fun note, I have quite the pilates wardrobe now.  A few favorites are from lululemon and Gap Body but I'm always on the hunt for some new threads.

We went to Ireland in September and if we had it our way (or a trust fund) we would buy a house and move there pronto! It was an amazing two weeks that went by way too fast but 1100+photos should have captured the memories. (Don't get me started with watching Big Break Ireland, it is painful to watch it and not have plans to go back.)


Kinsale Harbor - County Cork
We covered almost 1,000 miles over 12 days with five golf courses, four amazing stops. My big souvenir was a brown bag filled with some great magazines.   
No. 12 @ Old Head GC


I'm getting ready to work on the family room, we're hitting the seven year itch with the house so no drastic changes but subtle enough to make me happy.  (Full disclosure - there is not a whole lot of "we" in this itch.)

My next post won't be 8-months from now...hopefully not even 8 days.
