Colonel Ledbetter, who is serving in the Marina Corps, sent me some t-shirts so I took these pics to send to him :-)

Don’t ask me what kind of sign I am making with my fingers, I have no idea! It’s actually secret code giving the coordinates to the enemy stockpile! :-)

Next up, @eren_yilmaz made these great images:


Next up, @paralysedbeaver (great name, must have had a bad run-in with a beaver, right? – jk ) with this:


Then @iOhioCountryboy made one:


The @PattyPur1980 also made (a BIG 12MB) one:


@derheusel made two:


And finally, @bofika made 6 collages!


You guys all ROCK for making those!  I REALLY love them all and will use them in some capacity shortly!

This year he pumped $3 million back into the economy by throwing a bash for his 2,400 employees plus 1,600 guests – 4,000 people in all.

Muhammad Ali was there!  The 4 Tops, The Temptations and Paula Poundstone performed. Bob Parsons gave $600,000 to charity that night as well as thousands and thousands of dollars to his employees so that they could pay off bills.

Everyone I met at the event was super nice and they all love their job, which is not a common thing to see!

I made friends with Lilian Garcia who sang the national anthem beautifully,  Danica Patrick is  such a sweetheart, actually, everyone was so nice there!  I feel very fortunate to be a Go Daddy Girl!  Be sure to thank Bob for making me one!

Here are some pics I took while I was there.

Check out this interview I did for Mako, an Israeli Magazine.  The writer who did the interview was not too happy with how it was edited down to practically nothing… but that’s the way these interviews go, right?
Here is the interview in its original language.

Here is the interview run through Google Translator.
