I am thankful that my mom taught us the importance of not forgetting yourself in the midst of raising kids. That in order to be the best wife and mother sometimes you have to forget that you are one.
Last weekend was an opportunity for me to do just that. Most if not all of you know that I am a Scentsy consultant. They have a big convention every year, and they also travel around the country and do mini conferences full of training and ideas for us. I called up some of my best friends and asked if they wanted to go for the weekend. That I knew it might be a little boring for them since they aren't consultants too, but it would be a really fun weekend. They were in. My sister and her friend drove down from Ohio and my friend and I drove up from Georgia and we met in the middle.
Here we all are getting ready to hear the first speaker tell all about Scentsy. After the first speaker, they were done and were headed shopping. I felt a little bad that they all came so far. But they all told me they had a great day anyway. I stayed and finished out the day, since I had paid to be there, and it would be great information for my business.
The hotel I chose ended up being a real winner. It literally was on the on and off ramp of the freeway and the paint color of choice was a lovely shade of mustard. The doors had several locks and no need to fear, we had this awesome safe in the room. lol felt kinda out of place if you ask me. :)
In one of our shopping stops we came across some hula hoops. We all just had to try out our skills. Bunch of grown women acting like kids, yeah, we had fun.
I'm pretty sure Kristen was the winner. She actually kept it up.
Yvette gets points for looking the best in her picture. :)
We parted ways after making one last stop at an ice cream shop. It was a fun trip ladies! Can't wait until we do it again!

It was tons of fun to get away. That ice cream was the best, thanks Kristen for suggesting that one. Were the Hotel lacked, we made up for it in fun. :)
So much fun. My favorite is that you got that sweet dude in the background of the hula hoop pictures! He was awesome. I want some of that ice cream right now....
So, when is our next one? ;)
That was an awesome weekend! I hope we can meet up again!
That's awesome that your girlfriends supported you in your endeavor! And that is great that you made the effort to go as well. I want to hear more about it!
