A Reunion and a Simulcast

A few months ago I signed on to be the Influence Conference Manager. I knew it would be difficult being so far from the conference site and having a newborn, but I also knew it was what God was calling me to do. I was super excited and still am. Around the same time, I started thinking about my impending 10 year high school reunion. I wasn't sure I even wanted to go but I wanted to see what the status was. We all know what a hot mess my 17 year old self used to be. But the thought of seeing all my girls again proved too much for me and I decided to look into things.

Well, our class president quite rudely, in my opinion refused to have anything to do with throwing our reunion. Lame. So I talked to a friend and we decided to make a facebook page to see who was interested in throwing the reunion.

And that is how I accidentally volunteered myself to help throw my high school reunion.

For 200 people.

3000 miles away.

With a newborn.

The weekend before The Influence Conference.

Ahhhhhhh! What was I thinking!?

Lucky for me, my awesome friend Katie of Sweet Southern Sunshine agreed to head the Reunion planning and has been taking point on most reunion related things. Seriously, she rocks. We are thisclose to locking down the venue with our deposit and then we can start selling tickets. I gotta say, with her as the lead this reunion is going to rock.

And her taking point on the reunion is allowing me time to come up with super awesome Influence Related things like....

Oh, and did I mention that the hubby has his high school reunion the weekend AFTER Influence? 

Oh, Lawdy. 

Wish me luck in September?

A new conference site

Hi friends!

Ok, I know... I haven't really been around here lately. I just powered through 6 days with no hubby and two kids. By myself ok I had the help of a few friends. And I gotta say I'm pretty proud. And both kids made it out alive. And one kid even got baths while daddy was gone.

But I gotta admit, I probably wouldn't be around here all that often regardless because I am still soaking up every glorious moment with these two little girls. Can you blame me?

But just because I haven't been on this space, doesn't mean I havent been out here on the internet. As you know, I'm the Conference Manager for the Influence Network. Which I totally love.

And folks, it's conference season.

So last week I made a brand-spanken-new conference site with our brand-spankin-new branding. You can see it HERE Besides designing the entire thing on PicMonkey and taking two.whole.hours. to work the coding removing the old site from the URL and putting up the new site, I love everything about it.

You can get all the info you need, buy your tickets, and even fill out a volunteer form. So, head on over and check it out! And let me know if you're coming to the conference... I'd love to meet you there!

Our Life Lately

I know things around this little space have been quiet lately, but things around this house have been anything but. We are having a wonderful time getting to know our precious little girl. The girls at The Influence Network have let me be on Maternity leave for the entire month, save for a few emails here and there, so I've really been soaking this time up. Although, I am excited to come back to this little space and conference planning full force in June.  We have been so blessed to have family offer to come out and help us while I am recovering and we're all adjusting. 5ohBig has been doing an AMAZING job as a big sister. No, but really. She is super helpful and really sweet with the baby. She is a little bit more disobedient to us but part of that is age and part of that is the fact that she's figured out I can't pick her up or get up as quickly. I am healing super fast and so well. I went to see my doctor this week because I was a little worried and the doctor said it looks amazing and that pain with csections is common, duh. More specifically he told me "in 6 months you're going to look down and think Did I even have a csection? because the scar is healing so well. Friends have been so gracious to start bringing us dinner and my neighbor, Jenny (who I don't have a picture of but need immediately) has been beyond helpful. Since the hubby has gone back to work she has literally came over every day and helped in some way: doing my dishes, cleaning the playroom, helping 5ohBig in and out of her crib at naptime. Seriously, I am forever indebted and owe her big time. All in all, life has been crazy and wonderful lately. How have y'all been?
