What a girl does for 2 weeks in Texas!

Our team, taking our usual elevator photo! These are so much fun, I highly suggest trying it!
Back row - Gary - my Dad and boss, Paul - our fearless leader, Jane - my partner. Front row - Jeanne - Sulfur Uno, Barb - My mother and circus girl, Me - Superwoman.


Me and my mother! This was sunset from our room balcony.


Proof that I really did work while I was there. I am at one conference working on the food menu for the next conference.


A friend and customer of ours took us out on his boat. We only had one day off in the 2 weeks so this is how we spent it.
In the blue visor is Jane - my trusted co-worker and very dear friend. In the white shirt is Vic - the captin. In the blue is Paul - El Presidente.



On our way back in from our voyage at sea, we pulled up to a restaurant along the water called "Outriggers". Tied up the boat and enjoyed the best meal I think I have ever had in all my days!
Crawfish and Corona. I was in pure heaven. This truly was a blissful experience and I can not wait until the next time I get to enjoy it!


Me cracking away. I love food that you have to slow down to enjoy. I really don't mind getting my fingers dirty either!




This is what I do. I am the Events Director for Refining Community. That means that all the set up and organizing is up to me. I plan all the food, we eat a lot. Set up of the exhibit hall. Working with the hotel to make things on the surface look flawless and smooth!

Awards for industry achievement. Chevron and DeltaValve.


The girls! Me, Jane and Barb. We had a blast together!



We had a sponsored dinner and paddle wheel boat cruise one night and we had thought it would be fun to make it a pirate theme. So got all dressed up and did a little skit during the conference to try to drum up some enthusiasm and get folks to sign up.
Well lets just say that we accomplished our goal! Us girls had so much fun with this, I think we could start a trend!




We also had hospitality suites one night, and in one of them they had karaoke....ok for those of you who know me well would know I cant sing, I cant carry a tune at all. But I sure did have fun! I never sang alone......there is not enough tequila to make that happen, but I did sing in a group a few times!





So there you have it, 2 weeks in a nut shell. It was a great time and I really enjoyed it. But 2 weeks is a really long time to be away from my babies.
