Ed on Fox Business News – successfully handles a curve ball!

Ed was asked to appear on Fox Business news again to talk about Ford and future automotive trends this morning. However, once he got to the studio, all Brian Sullivan wanted to talk about were union negotiations with Ford!

It’s a good thing that husband of mine is so smart, maybe he was not as prepared to talk about that, but he did just great! As Ed said this morning after the interview was over, “That’s show biz!”

A little bit of bragging … and a lot to be thankful for.

Because Ed is such a modest guy, I am taking the liberty of spilling the beans on a very exciting thing that happened two weeks ago. He was in Germany visiting some of his European clients … BMW, Audi, Porshe, and Volkswagon. During his meeting at Volkswagon, the one of the directors was so impressed with Ed and his extensive knowledge that he asked Ed to return to Germany this week to be a Keynote Speaker at the Global Volkswagon conference in Hamburg! It was a really big deal. Such a big deal in fact that we ALL (all = family & every friend who heard about this!) insisted that he return to Deutschland to make his presentation.

The downside? The conference was during Thanksgiving. So we made the best of it. We got together with all of our parents the weekend before an had a lovely dinner at the Facey Parents house. Afterall, there was no way my mom was going to let him go without her stuffing this year!


That’s Dad carving the duck my mom made.


Our awesome parents with Ed!

Thanksgiving Day was delicious as usual, but we definitely missed Ed. The happiest part of the day was when I got a call from Germany …

And of course … here is me with my family!

Each year, I feel like the holidays get better and better. I am so thanksful for my wonderful family & friends!

p.s. Ed’s presentation went great! He’s on his way back from Germany as I write this!

Ed’s going to be a celebrity – just wait.

Ok, so I am a bragging wife. Ed started his new position at AutoPacific and he made the blogosphere news.
