I wish I were a ladybug.

nonstop.

Holy cow, the past five days have been a WHIRLWIND!  I've completely lost track of what day it is and feel like I have been in a bubble.  I found out Brad and Angelina had their twins about THREE days ago!  That is a piece of information I would usually know about as it's even happening, lol.  The past few days have been a lot of fun, though.  It really is a crazy thing doing what I do at these conferences.  I'm at the American Association of Justice Conference which is in Philadelphia this time and hosts hundreds of attorneys from around the country.  Last time it was in Puerto Rico and before that it was in Chicago.  The next one is in Honolulu!  I thought it was pretty funny they were holding it in Philly, the city I'm so accustomed to.  The days consist of exhibiting and the whole rest of the night is NON STOP action.  There is a themed cocktail event every day in the exhibit hall, then a reception and party at city monuments, always a dinner we have to attend, and then the late night action is held a different club in the venue's city each night.  It's great getting to really experience so many different places, bands and food within the hosting city.  The Commodores played the other night!  I was bummed Lil' Richie wasn't there.  It's pretty crazy this is what I get paid to do, although not for long, and it has been the biggest blessing.  And I can honestly say I'm okay with the fact that I will be moving on soon.  It's fun, but EXHAUSTING!  I have met so many amazing people and have traveled to some awesome places and have eaten incredible food.  Now I get to embark on a new journey a little closer to "home" - LeHigh Valley, PA.  We're moving in two weeks!  I'm done with the conference tomorrow and then leave on Thursday for all of Julia's wedding festivities.  I am so excited to finally stand up next to my beautiful Jules and watch her say "I DO!".  Rob and I will be back on Sunday and then Monday we leave for Maine.  I can't believe how busy the month of July has been.  And August won't exactly be any calmer.  But life is great and God has really blessed us with all of these great experiences.  I have been staying at the downtown Marriott throughout the conference and was able to have Robbie stay with me and attend some of the parties.  He always hears about the craziness that goes on at these events but has never experienced it.  I felt so proud to have my husband with me and to show him off to all of our clients and my dear friends.  Everyone loved him, of course.  I don't have any pictures to post yet - I don't have my camera cord with me at the hotel, but hopefully in the next post I will have pictures of the conference, wedding and Maine!  That is if I can't post before I get back from everything - which is very well possible.  I hope everyone is having a great week so far.  There are quite a few of you that I will see this weekend and I am SO excited!!  For everyone else, please keep in touch and God Bless!

AH.

So busy right now!  I'm getting ready for our huge AAJ Conference that starts tomorrow so I have been super busy.  I will probably have some down time during the day on Saturday or Sunday while I'm there to write.  I'm "working" this weekend, but my schedule includes concerts and parties with clients.  Life is rough.  :o)  We're hosting a roof deck party at Vango tomorrow from 10pm-2am!  If you're in the city, let me know!  I will write more soon!  Enjoy the end of your week!  God Bless!!

busy bee.


Here's a picture from Julia's bachelorette weekend.  It was SO amazing to be with my girls again.  I love ya'll so much!

Ah, so, we're moving THIS MONTH!  I have not done a THING to prepare.  I don't even want to think about going through our storage closet.  We can't open the door anymore without becoming buried in debris of all sorts of random items.  It will be so nice when we are in the house, everything is put away and we can RELAX!!  Yay.  I'm also in the process of finishing up my job in Philly and finding what I want to do in LeHigh Valley.  I decided against working for Young Life full time.  God really put it on my heart that now is just not the time.  I will definitely keep you posted on what I decide to do work wise!  It's pretty exciting being in this position where I am leaving my current job with blessings and get to move on to something new.  The sky is the limit!  It is a little daunting at the same time though with everything on our plate.  And this month is ridiculously busy for Robbie and I.  Within the next few weeks we have: a conference I'm working for a week, Julia's wedding festivities (yay!), a family reunion in Maine and trying to move!  I apologize in advance if my writings tend to lack in effort.  It won't be forever!  

I hope everyone has an AMAZING 4th of July!  I'm excited for Friday.  My parents are out of town, so Robbie and I are taking over their house, with their blessings of course.  We're throwing a shindig and taking full use of the pool, hot tub, grill and fire pit.  Bring on the margaritas!  If you're reading this and are in the area, let us know!  The more the merrier!!  I miss the good 'ol days in TX when we used to shoot off fireworks in the driveway.  This year we will resort to sparklers.  I hope to get a lot of pictures to post!!  Have fun and be safe this 4th of July!  God Bless!!
