My parents live in a wonderful
community called Heritage Eagle Bend (HEB) and I was invited to attend a Health
Fair hosted by 9 News. What a fun filled
day this was and so educational. As a full time human resource professional, mother
of two, wife, and now Mrs. Colorado, it can sometimes feel like a balancing act
trying to manage it all. With that in
mind, I try to attend as many events as possible where I can bring my family
with me and the Health Fair was right up my alley. Spending a day with my boys and
learning about health ranks high on my list of priorities.
That day we visited with a range
of physicians, nurses, fitness professionals and more. We toured the fair and
were also introduced to many people who live in HEB. I even met a college roommate of a Queen Sister.
What a small world! After the tour, we were placed at a beautiful round table
by the entry of the main entrance. There
was a huge boutique of spring flowers and a sign that read Mrs. Colorado. This was once again the “autograph table” that my
husband continued to be in disbelief about (smile). The cutest thing that I will always remember
about this day is the little old man who was my biggest fan. He was a retired physician and asked me to
sign an autograph card for every single member of his family. He also asked me THREE different times, if
and when I was going to change into my swimsuit? I giggled and gave him a hug instead. However,
the lesson learned from this darling elderly man is that “you’ll never get anything
if you don’t ask!”
