And you thought we had crazy schedules. . .

Just want to share an excerpt from an email that Sherry's mom, Pat, received from Sherry's brother, Brad, today:

"It has just been a busy week, driving up to Riyadh, bouncing around from one meeting to another, running around with my boss and having dinner with Sheikh Saad. Adair [Adair is Brad's wife, our sister-in-law] actually called me on my mobile she was so worried about me. I fly to London next week for meetings with Mazak, our computer numerical control machine supplier and then to India the week after that to conduct interviews and then Egypt the week after that to conduct more interviews . . . I have a very hectic lifestyle. Well, I better run and get something to eat. Haven't eaten all day and it's 6:15 p.m. I just got in from Riyadh and had to run and get some groceries."

Now that is one busy schedule. Brad has always been such a hard worker, and a serious world traveler. Frankly, we're surprised he even has time to email his lil' ol' family, since he's so fancy and important that he's having dinner with Sheikh Saad, the Crown Prince of Kuwait. Sheikh Saad is pictured right-- no, that's not Brad! ;) At some point, we'll get a decent digital picture of Brad uploaded on our computer so friends who didn't meet him and Adair and our nieces (Brooke and Allison) at our wedding in 2002 will know that Brad actually exists and we're not making him up-- ha! (Can someone please send us some pics? Sherry's side of our family has made far fewer appearances on this blog than Brian's, because we don't have any good pictures of anyone!)
