TIME OUT!

It behooves me to say that I was wrong. I know, shocker!! However I learned something this last weekend, VeGaS rOcKs!! (except for the heat, and smoke, and debauchery, and...)

I had the wonderful opportunity to spend the weekend in Vegas with my dearest friends ever, The Nocella's. T and I were able to attend Time Out For Women on Saturday while the boys took a Time Out For Bass Pro Shop.


An amazing time was had by all!!!

This was my fifth opportunity to attend this event, twice in Long Beach, once in Pasadena and San Diego, and now Las Vegas.
I cannot say enough good about these events! I come away renewed and invigorated! We went to Vegas because we missed the San Diego opportunity and I know one of the presenters. It turned out that she was unable to attend due to illness, but her replacement was Sister Virginia Hinkley Pearce. What an amazing woman! Her comments about living a joyful life hit me to the core, as did the other presenters. I absolutely love Hillary Weeks' music and she was the facilitator for the event. She is an uplifting and funny woman!
I think that the opportunity to attend with a terrific friend made it even more special. I was selected to tell about how someone in my life has made their life a joyful one, and I chose to tell them about T. She was selected and was recognized in front of an auditorium of about 1,000 women as one who lives a joyful life. I feel truly blessed to have such a wonderful friend, one who is there through it all, is positive, funny, and honest! LoVe Ya!!

We took some fun pictures!!
My sweetie at the Rain Forest Cafe! Such a cutie!!


I thought that they said to just smile... duh! The penny squisher!!

Aha! So that's where you were on Sunday. I've never been to TOFW. I'd love to go next year.

How fun! I absolutely love TOFW--so much so, that one year I went by myself. What a great experience to attend with someone as fun as Teesha and in Vegas, no less. I am jealous, too!
