Halloween 2016

Halloween weekend was busy! We celebrated Tyson's birthday by going Go Karting, the childrens  Museum and Red Robin.  It went great minus the fact that both girls had big potty accidents. Sigh.

We also went to the RefactorU halloween party. Halloween day was Tyson's first day at school so I took the girls by myself. We went to Bradburn with Iuliana and Abby. We had a great time! It was amazing weather. We walked for 1.5 hours. I swear we got 20 lbs of candy! 

We did not celebrate Sydney's birthday since we had so many other activities We did all the celebrating the day and week following. 

This Weekend + Trunk O Treat

We went to the zoo with Iuliana and Abby. Sydney went with her friend Emma to her first musical. The weather was absolutely gorgeous. The zoo was packed but we got to walk a lot and caught the elephant show. That night the girls and I attended the Trunk O Treat. We had a blast. The girls were ballroom cinderella and I was the cleaning cinderella. Tyson worked and then went home to study. 

This coming week is a BIG week. Tyson is finishing up his last week of work and he starts school on Friday. Crazy! Then my parents come visit next week and I am so excited! They will be here November 1st. 

Conquer Conference

This last weekend was amazing. After planning for 10 months we held the Conquer Conference. 

It was an amazing and exhausting weekend. I finally met Leslie, I visited Pennsylvania and for the first time since college,  that I actually planned something. The last time I did anything like this was for Obeo and the sundance retreat. 

I felt like I have come full circle - in terms of business. 

After that Sundance retreat, my busines life went down and down and down. The great recession was really hard for me and Tyson. 

Well, the Conquer Conference was a smashing success. We had 650 registered and my biggest worry was registration. We had a helper for food, a helper for the decorations and  coordinator for everything else. 

Everyone did their part. Worship was great, the keynote speakers were amazing. Everything went so well. 

After 3 days I was exhausted. I was tired but we were happy. Besides the website hack Saturday night, things could not have gone better. 

It's was great to finally meet Leslie. I think we saw each other in a new light. The ladies at the conference were amazing. 

I'm grateful that I could work. I'm grateful that I could work to support something positive and something bigger. 

I'm so grateful that Tyson stayed home and helped me.
