What an experience!!!!!
I have to tell you, it was far more than I had ever imagined, and I don't
think I have ever been more scared in my whole life, lol.
And it really happened!!!! HOLY SNAP!
This is a loooooong post, and I'm so sorry but I want to remember everything.
I was honored to be a presenter this last week,
I am blown away by the company I was in..... both others
presenting and those who attended.
It was held at the Venitian Hotel in Las Vegas!
It was my family's very first real vacation. I'm so glad that
they came with me, but I did miss out on some chances
to visit and spend time with my friends. I appreciated every offer, and hope next year to have more time :)
I can not even tell you how awesome it was to meet my friends
and see them face to face. I was so flustered that I didn't even think to get my phone out and take pictures, so I had to "borrow" them from everyone.... and Miss Terri was so awesome to let me use her photos too. I don't want to forget a single minute!
Here are some of the swiped memories...
There were so many people, that I was very overwhelmed..... people probably thought I was a total nut case, lol.
(See the arrow? It's pointing to Jennifer, who was hiding I believe. She's my holder together of everything. What a blessing she is to me, and I was so grateful to have her there. She worked her buns off!)
Here are a few of the people that I got to hug :)
Annie Moffatt, Susana Westby, Fran Kramer, and Kristen Oldham
Crystal Radke
and Elizabeth Hall!!!!
and Katie Mense,
Jen Jones,
and Lisa Mattes and Katie Knight
Farrah Shipley,
Terri Izatt and John Hughes,
and Valerie Donaldson
Then there was Elvis!!!!!
and so many more...... I just don't have pictures!
I was so humbled and awestruck by it all.
Thank you to all who took time to visit with me, and listen to my story, and session.
It was really tough to follow the key notes and the first sessions!
Everyone did such a fantastic job, and were so inspiring.
I got side tracked and missed the last two slides in my slide show,
so I am going to post them here.
TPT has changed my life.
I am so grateful for the opportunities that it has brought me,
and the friends who have helped make it possible.
A chance of a lifetime.
I am truly blessed.
Until we meet again my friends!!!
