AMG Blog

I am being asked to write a blog and my only recollection of that word is from years ago. We knew a family that had a daughter who had a very rare form of cancer. I believe to this day with this diary of sorts…a blog….and advanced medical procedures, she is alive and in good health today. Her blog was very personal and helped all of us that were concerned about her to follow along on the day to day stuff. What amazed me the most was her sense of humor as she was going through horrific procedures and many trials and tribulations.

So about me. I love almost everything about my life and realize that I am pretty responsible for almost all of it. The rest is getting easier to let go of and being proactive seems to be the way to go. I think that this aging thing is all about learning and just getting better. Doing more for others and one’s self.  Taking time to smell the roses, so to speak. I have been blessed with a wonderful husband and friend.  We have a great daughter, Colleen, who is an unbelievable mom to our three grandchildren. Her husband Terry is the best dad and a wonderful cook and we enjoy his culinary skills quite often. 

Our son Mike lives in Breckenridge and has a logging business. He is trying, one tree at a time, to eliminate those beetles that are doing a number on our beautiful forests. He is such an adventure guy and a great athlete. We just try to listen to the stories and not to worry too much. 

Our Grandchildren Morgan, Mason and Max are such joys in our lives and being with them is the best.  We are able to get together as a whole family many times a year and love being with each other, which is a gift all by itself.

Christmas is truly wonderful as we all enjoy cooking together, playing games and doing what counts most: spending time with one another. This year our gift to each other is a trip to California on spring break where we will just relax and enjoy family and friends.

I love working with our talented folks at AMG and continue to be amazed at their creativity. We finally have a team that is working together at the highest level and we are so proud of them. I love my role here and of course try not to be “the Mom.”

My efforts in community involvement are of upmost importance and continue to be a big part of my life. Working out, walking, Yoga and reading are what I do when I have time. The picture albums are next and of course, always organizing.

We recently added a new member to our family on Bill’s birthday. A Golden Retriever, Kellie, that just melts our hearts. God made them cute for a reason! Our life without a dog was not quite complete, and Kellie has filled that void 110 percent.
