Viva Las Vegas

Tyson and I headed down to the Primerica Convention held in Vegas and what a trip! We left Friday and came back Saturday. Ursula and Annette drove down with us and we had a great time going down. We stopped in St. George and ate at Chili's, got and oil change and enjoyed the awesome weather. We even saw Brandon Niels new Mercedes on our way down (we took a picture)

We made it to Vegas around 5 pm and visited Tyson's family that lived down there. Tyson and his dad were able to give a blessing to his aunt that was really sick in the hospital. After we drove down to the Lexis Park Resort to get a good parking spot for the convention. We decided to take a stroll on the strip and hit the Belagio water show (It was the Pink Panther :) A funny moment happened when my friend Margie, who lives in Vegas, was trying to meet up with us. We told her to meet us at the corner of Flamingo and Vegas Blv but when she got there I had to run to get into her car in the middle of traffic! Tyson, Ursula and Annette met us around the block. Margie was SO fun to be with.

The convention started at 7:30 and it was a packed room! The energy was electric. We heard from the companies top winner and they were all fantastic. They shared stories of winning, of pushing through the hard times and of the dream that is possible. My heart just swelled with pride to be part of such an amazing company. You could just feel the desire to win in the room!

After the speeches came recognition and Tyson and I got it! We got our Division plaque, as well as the top Premium for the state (ask me what that is in person :0 ) We loved it! We walked up on stage, gave high fives, met the top producers in the company - it was amazing. We felt so proud of our hard work. Tyson's parents (Debbie and Gaylan) also rocked the house and took home over SIX awards! They are studs! The meeting ended at 11 pm and then it was on to the after party. Since Tyson and I got Team Leaders Position, we went to the "after party" and mingled with the top producers - amazing!

Ty and I stayed at Margie's house and had a great time chatting with her. She is coming down to Salt Lake in two weeks and we are going to go on a double date. The next morning the excitement continued- more classes, more motivation, more success stories and more recognition! Tyson and I got Golden Eagles for reaching Team Leaders Spot. It was awesome. we had so many of our good friends there - Margie, Brian and Emily Halley, Brandon Nielsen, Heather and Kendall - it was the best feeling to be winning as a group.

We eat at the Sam's Marten's Buffet in Vegas and headed home. We got back to Salt Lake around 12:30 midnight. We were super tired but excited and ready at the same time. Tyson and I are LOVING where life is going. We feel so blessed! We are headed down to St. George in January for another convention and our goal is to be Regional Leaders by then :) We will do it!
