Vegas

It was rather horrible timing, but I committed to attend the Color Me Mine annual conference this week. All the owners from around the world and corporate staff gathered in Las Vegas and since I’m so very new to this I decided it would be really helpful. It was quite difficult to juggle all the logistics of the trip but B did an amazing job balancing work and running the girls around for the week. I could not be more grateful for him. 
I learned a ton this week although I missed my family terribly! 
Traveling solo. It’s been a while.
I stayed at the D in downtown Vegas. I didn’t do much exploring as I’m not a huge fan of Vegas, but managed to read my book a bit and had dinner with other fellow owners. 

I never ventured over to the strip and didn’t even really leave my hotel room on Fremont Street.

Man, I’m getting old. 

Have I mentioned how wonderfully fabulous our friends are??? B came out to Vegas for just one night and the girls stayed overnight with a friend back home. I was really nervous about leaving the girls because it was a school night, but Annabelle’s dear friend Karsen invited both girls for the night. Her mom, Terrie is terrific and we could never thank her enough. She picked the girls up from school, took them to Dave & Busters, did homework with them, put them all to bed (in one big king size bed so G wouldn’t be scared – how cute is that?), made them bacon for breakfast and got them all to school the next morning. The girls were truly spoiled and I don’t think they missed us one bit.

B and I didn’t have much time, but we certainly made the most of it! We had drinks on Fremont street, a fabulous dinner and even did a little gambling. I won 60 bucks on video poker, which was lovely since I don’t even really enjoy gambling.

Feeling very grateful to my husband and Terrie for all their help this week. I’m one lucky lady!
