"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences."

iShow

Twice a year Brody heads out to Dallas, TX for "The Show". Here, the high end lighting manufacturers (which he reps) show off their new products and Brody's accounts come to see it, and order lots of new things for their showrooms (that would be a fast rundown of it all). : )

They had a great show!!! More foot traffic this year than they have gotten before, which means more orders. Brody's 'The Great Indoors" store hit it's target yet again, so he got awarded & gets a nice bonus---he also got nominated for several awards with Schonbek--and more. It's great that he's really starting to move up and get more and more noticed. I am so very proud of him & how hard he works!!
The best news of all is that they picked up an amazing new line to rep!! It is a big deal for us. In addition to Brody repping this line to his current accounts, he will also take on the landscape contractors (don't know if that is the right term for them), who do jobs with companys such as 'The Irvine Company', when they build new properties (for all outdoor lighting). It is a very exciting opportunity (so good that he gets to give up covering UT and travel less) and we are so very grateful for it!

Here is a little look into the show. With photos Brody sent me from his iphone:

Here is the "courtyard" I guess you could call it.
The next few are of the Holtkoetter showroom. It is high end contemporary line manufactured in Germany.

This was our favorite thing to eat while we were in Austria and Germany! They make it the BEST!!
