Once again, all 4 of us were able to attend and it was great to have Jaime and Jessi arrive early to have the tables all set up for Jill and I - I'll have to remember that next year and come a little late again - he he..........
I did have shopping to do before I headed to the Embassy Suites but it was one of those not so great shopping trips where I didn't find what I was looking for.....sigh...... But I perked up after I unloaded the car and got all set up!!
We headed down to Happy Hour after we had a couple of pages scrap booked and waited and waited downstairs and NO bartender came to set up!! We FINALLY talked to another gal who said they had moved the "Mangers Reception" (such a fancy name!) to the actual bar, The Polo Club!! Which we were NOT happy with!! We all wear sweat pants and t-shirts and slippers and that's exactly what we wore to the bar!!
Dinner that night was catered in by Texas Roadhouse - and it was great!!
We SURE had fun on Saturday - giggling over pictures, reminiscing about events, running down to our advisers' room when we each won prizes, snacking and snacking and snacking, taking power walks around the hallways to get our circulation going again, eating sub sandwiches for lunch that were catered in, and ONCE in a while, checking in with home to see how the hubbies were doing with the kids!!
Before we knew it, it was Happy Hour time again!! This time we dressed a little nicer and decided to sit down at the restaurant part which is connected to the bar - that was all fine and dandy till a worker came over and advised us that we were NOT allowed to bring our own food into the restaurant - oh well - we tried!!
I must have slept good - the next thing I remember was Jessi telling me her and Jill were heading down to breakfast and it was 7:40!!! YIKES!! Jaime and I flew out of bed and started our showers but by the time we were ready to head down to eat, the line was MORE than long and it was 9:30 before the line got short enough for us to join it - we'll remember that next year - no sleeping in on Sundays!!
Glenn was up in Denver for the weekend helping Gary finish up the bathroom project and then Gary was going to take Jaime's kids to church while Brad and Glenn went ice fishing!! Jaime had messages waiting when she turned on her phone - an EMERGENCY message from Rayna that there were no dog bones for the dogs!! And when Jaime called home and spoke with Rayna, she found out Kylan was eating snickers for breakfast - oh my..............
Packing up is really not fun but it must be done and by noon we were all out of there and heading back home!! The final count for pages from the 4 of us - 64 pages which are all double sided so a total of 128 sides!! WOW - it WAS one fantastic weekend!!!
