, I'm very pleased with it.So, the following two days all I was doing were final touches in the store, and getting ready to leave for Vegas. Wednesday I had to catch a 6:15am flight out, 4am is an hour I don't usually wake up to, it's an hour I usually fall asleep to! So that was hard! But I landed, met up with the visual from Seattle, Sou. (He and I always hang out together) we had a few hours to rest before our meeting at 1:30. Funny story, usually at these things everyone gets really dressed up and tries to impress everyone else with how cute they are... well I've been to so many I don't care anymore. I knew I'd be sitting through 7-8 hours of continuous blather about the new collection, why bother right? Well, as you walk into the suite the meetings were held in, you see a big pane of glass that looks into the shower (mind you this is in Vegas) and in the shower is a stripper pole. So we were all asked to get our picture taken with said stripper pole. A. I don't do stripper poles, B. I did not look cute enough to have my picture taken! C. Really?!?
But I had to do it... I just hope it was accidentally deleted from the camera! haha...
So after the meetings we had a mixer, and we were in bed by 11:30pm, ready to go at 5:30am to meet in the store by 6am to do our workshops.
We were broken into groups to work in specific shops, (mens, denim, accessories...etc) I was in the men's group which was fine except that there was only one other guy out of the six of us in the group who had been with the company longer that 1 month! It was a challenge to say the least, but the store looked amazing when we were done.
I won't bore you with pictures of the Vegas store, apparently it's only interesting to me! haha...
We were finished with the store by 1pm, we had lunch at this great sushi place Ra.
After sushi my roommate and I went back to our room and took a nice long nap!! My roommate by the way was amazing, a bad roommate can really
ruin a trip! So I was thankful I was rooming with her. Then after our nap, we rushed downstairs to meet up for our dinner and night out on Diesel!We had such a great meal, and even though the club we were originally supposed to have our "night out" in somehow forgot that we were coming and turned us away (oh Vegas is just so on the ball!!) we ended up in another club having a blast! It's really nice to spend the evening with people you know, rather than complete strangers!
On our last day we had meetings, and were kicked out two hours ahead of schedule because the hotel had double booked our meeting room! Like I said, Vegas is really on the ball! haha...
So with our extra two hours a few of us went to the Bellagio and really dorked out like tourists! but it was beautiful!
I arrived back in town Friday night, and I'm back in the store getting everything ready for my boss to arrive tomorrow night! These next few months with our personal lives and work lives are going to be nutty!
Deuce is enjoying the airline, he is out on the tarmac now, either throwing luggage or directing the planes. It's a bit boring for his liking, but it's a job! We are very blessed to have the work we do! Even though I'm tired, I'm so thankful to have a good reason!
We have a girl moving into the house in March for a month, guests coming into town the last week of February and a guest coming into town in the middle of March! Will there ever be a time when my life isn't planned three months in advance? Probably not!
Sorry the post is so long, I just wanted to pack it all in!
