‘A quick update — Jen had her surgery this morning, and it went well. She is very tired and trying to get some rest. She is calling this surgery the Final Four as she’s hoping it’s the 4th and last surgery.
Thanks for all of your love and support. I’m sure Jen will post more details as she starts to recover.

I am so sorry that I haven’t written in a while.  I have been travelling a lot for work and for pleasure. First, I spent a week in Los Angeles for business. I had a ton of meetings and finished the week at the Kid’s Choice Awards. It was an amazing event and I was thrilled that the show received the highest ratings and most kid votes (91MM!)  in the show’s history.  In addition to attending the awards show, highlights of the week for me were going to a live cast reading of SpongeBob SquarePants and sitting at a restaurant near Turtle from Entourage.  You gotta love LA!
