Tired, but happy!

Ahh, blog readers, I have so much to tell you since we last spent time together! My events in Charlotte went smoothly, and overall it was a grand success. I can't tell you $$ numbers yet, but I'm hoping those'll be ready to share soon. As with every new event, there were a few snafoos, but I think that I was able to maneuver through most of them relatively well.

I hate that all my pictures got downloaded to the work computer instead of the home computer, so I'll have to wait til tomorrow to get pictures to you. :(

I was SO grateful to get to see my family on Tuesday of the week in Charlotte. I always miss them, but it didn't really hit home as to how much I miss them until I was in their presence. (Love and kisses to you all!) The kids are growing up so fast!! Pictures of their adorableness to follow.

I was also really excited to get to see Clay on Saturday, and some friends from church popped in unexpectedly, too!

The long days of work ended with long nights out, and I believe I've made several good friends from among my coworkers. :) Pictures of the weekend outings to follow.

You would think that once my events were over, my life would slow down, but that is far from the truth. We've been working vigorously to finalize the events, all while trying to catch up on everything we missed for a week, and the things we put on the back burner prior to the event. Whew, I'm getting tired just thinking about it! My days were all thrown off this last week since we flew home on Monday only to go into work on Tuesday. I make it sound like I've been a mad woman, but I must say I wouldn't trade a minute of it. This is the kind of work I love - work that keeps me on my toes, constantly throws new people my way, and develops a product that is a very tangible one. I am a happy girl! Tired, but happy!!

I'm hoping it's that constant positive energy that made Mason (our warehouse manager and someone I work closely with) think of me when he saw this book at the bookstore.

He handed it to me in the Barnes and Noble bag on his way to the airplane, and when I looked at him with curiosity, he said, "I give people books, it's just my 'thing'." I peaked in the bag, smiled, said thank you and didn't open the bag again until I got home. I must say, it was a great gift. It's been very good so far. Perfect for me, and I can't wait to pass it on!

So, until tomorrow when I have pictures, au revoir et bon soir! (Goodbye and good night)

Oh, and I'll tell you about my weekend tomorrow too! :)
