I'm Baaaaaack!

Hey girl hey! 
We have a lot of catching up to do!

Let's just start with there is NO WAY I could travel for a living. 

I got back to STL on Friday night and I still feel exhausted. I can't seem to get caught up on my sleep!!

I spent all last week in San Antone (you know, because that's what the locals call it..)

I HAD A BLAST!!

A lot of standing around at the conference in shoes that I should not have even packed. But I got a few good leads and I've been busy at work the past few days putting it all together.

Lets rewind a bit.
Day 1

Tuesday morning I was up bright and early to head to the airport. Obviously too early for L&L. They tried to be troopers and hang out before I left, but it was just too much!

love

We arrived at the airport only to get there and find out plane has been delayed by about 5 hours. Luckily we were able to catch another flight but had to route to Chicago. 

I was a little excited. I've never been to Chicago before. Even though I would mainly only see the airport, MAYBE be able to go somewhere to lunch outside of the airport.

i am not a fan of the snow. i was glad to be leaving this!

We were late to leave, which meant we were late to arrive. 

So you know what happened next.. Bill turns to me and asks if I'm ready to run. I laughed, thinking he was kidding.

wrong. He took off running! Here is am trailing behind him in heels, running as fast as I can through the airport.

We BARELY made it!!!

I was in Chicago for 11 minutes. Wow!

The flight wasn't bad. I had a few cocktails to calm my nerves!

We arrived early evening just in time to see our booth and join in on the happy hour. (perfect!)

Bill (my boss) and I enjoyed a delicious dinner at some fancy Italian restaurant then went to a club for a few drinks and shots.

I introduced my boss to my favorite shot, a Vegas bomb. he approved.

Have I mentioned how awesome my boss is?? I think I have. But in case you forgot, He is AWESOME!!!!

Wednesday. Day 2

Booth Duty. 

Little did we know, we could get padding under our carpet. 

Lesson learned for every convention from here on out.

dress from maurices

absolutely love this dress. it's 20% off right now. getchu one! ;)

These are my favorite heels. I wear them ALL THE TIME. By the end of the day- I wanted to burn them.

I ended up opting for these.

Cowboy boot slippers. 

Only in Texas.

I headed out of the convention with a hour to spare. I jumped in a cab and found the closest shoe store. 

Payless 2 miles away. Score!

I bought a pair of wedges and a pair of tall boots. BOGO, have to get two!

And I put on the wedges and decided I would walk back. WRONG DECISION.

I got half way back and my feet were bleeding. Literally.

Why I had the genius idea to walk back in shoes that are not broken in.

I put back on the cowboy boot slippers and walked the rest of the way.

Still got hit on. Boom! ha!

Later that night was our Shell party. We headed to Howl at the Moon. 

(hands down, my favorite bars are piano bars!!!!)

skirt and top from maruices

Bought these little sleazy leopard fishnet tights for $.86 at Payless and rocked them. Felt like a hooker all night, and i liked it!

This is B! :)

Thursday- Day 3

Booth Duty again 

(got smart this day and wore flat boots)

Dress from KiKi La'Rue

and 30 people asking me if I made it back to my hotel ok. 

My response? Yep, did I see you last night? 

Sorry for partying!

After a long day at the convention and get several great leads I was glad it was over!

I met up with my new friend Angie from Destin FL and we had a GREAT TIME!!!!

God Bless Texas!

Friday- Day 4

Early meeting and traveling most of the day. 

The convention was so much fun! I met a ton of people I talk to on a weekly basis, and met a few people that I can call friends!

But let me tell you. I MISSED MY BABIES.  I couldn't get home quick enough. 

Whew! Glad I don't have to do it very often!

Came home to my favorite home cooked meal (good hubby)

and  I can't tell you how excited I was to come home to this

bahahaha oh Landon! Yes, yes that is a maxim magazine. 

He brought it to me a few weeks ago and said "Mommy, will you read this to me."

Ummmm no buddy, I think this is one daddy has to read to you! lol

lay is a momma's girl. she was up my butt for 3 days straight. i missed you too baby girl!!! xoxoxoxo

Saturday morning we headed to Creative Bent for our mini Valentine's Day session, 

spent the afternoon at Chuck E Cheese

then spent a majority of the evening with one of my favorite couples EVERRRRRRRRR.
Our kiddos played together so good and Landon has asked for his friends to come over every day since!

Sunday I had another work convention then came home and hung out with my bff and her littles!

Exhausting weekend, and work has been crazy ever since!
