Seattle Conference


OK so I know I have been a slacker on my posts. In all honesty, we are not very exciting people. ha ha Ben has just been crazy busy with a few midterms. He MIGHT be able to finally relax this weekend for a day. I know he is looking forward to relaxing and catching up on sleep. I just got back from a work conference in Seattle for the past 2 days. It was an experience. It was about 400 managers/divisional staff for two whole days. The first day went a little like this..... Woke up at 5am to get ready and catch a flight over to Seattle. We arrived at the hotel around 8:15am and were able to check into our rooms. We had to just drop off our stuff and get right up to the meetings. The meetings lasted from 10am-10pm. The food was not enjoyable at all. We finally got to bed around 11:30pm or so and had to do it ALL again the next day starting at 6:30 for breakfast. All I can really say is that it was an experience. Oh yeah... We were also confined like little kids and could NOT leave the hotel without telling our regional managers where we going. Now all of you need to keep in mind this is a meeting for BANK MANAGERS. I am glad it is Friday!!

Natalie! I'm glad you guys have a blog...and how did you get your totally stylin' template?! I didn't know you were a bank manager now, that's awesome. Are you guys loving Washington? And yes, we're coming to UT for Christmas, we'll be there for two weeks up until Monday after New Years. When will you guys be there??

I just can't believe your conference people fed you crappy food - that's just wrong. But at least you're a really important bank manager traveling to conferences - how cool is that?!
