Project 365: Day 334-340

This week has been amazing. I returned to my love from almost a week and a half in San Antonio. We wrapped up this weekend by going on a short ski trip in North Carolina with my family. A peaceful way to end a long work week.

A Peek at San Antonio | Part 2

This evening, I am coming home!! It's been a whirlwind of a trip, but I'm glad these nine long days are coming to a close. It has been so good to see the fruit of my labor and hard work.

I'm coming home to a wonderful little family, a mini ski trip vacation, and a boat-load of work to prep and get ready for my handmades show in March. Whoo! Here is a wrap up of my trip in pictures:


Goodbye, Texas. It's been a delight.

Project 365: Day 327-333

BUSY week! I've been gone since Tuesday, working with production and graphics at the Chick-fil-A seminar. The days have been long, but I have been productive. I have put so much design work into this seminar and it's just blowing my mind to see my work around every corner! I do, however, miss my husband. I wish he could be here to enjoy the beautiful weather.

* I do not enjoy showering, but I do it anyway for the sake of humanity...and my husband.
* I usually pronounce 20% of my words oddly or completely incorrect. This fact tickles my husband, but at least he thinks I'm cute.
* Although I work for Chick-fil-A corporate...I have never gotten tired of eating their food. I love me some chicken!

To San Antonio I Go

Riverwalk
And I'm off to San Antonio for ten days! I'll be assisting with the production team on graphics for Chick-fil-A's annual Operators Seminar. I'm excited, I can't wait to see the riverwalk, stay in a hotel, and try something new. However, I'm going to miss my sweet husband and my little Kaito. I'm such a homebody. I love my cozy place and my little family...ten days. I can do this!

I'll be sure to keep you updated along the way. Pictures are a must. Anyone have a suggested restaurant//shop I should visit on the Riverwalk?

Cheers!
