Kansas City. . .







The GP guys, SO entertaining!!!




The beautiful place setting at the award night!!

Our room....

Wow...so I NEVER EVER imagined that I would have loved 4 days away with no kids!!! But I DID!!!! Chris had a insurance conference in Kansas City, he has not been doing the insurance thing long and we had never been so I was not going to go!!! There was not way I was going to fly half way across the country with out at least, my baby. Well with lots pressure from fellow agents...mark!!!....and LOTS of reassurance from my mother...who is amazing and kept my children!!!...we went.
And it was SO MUCH FUN!!!! We left Wed. morning at 3:30am...I cried the whole way to the air port, I had major stress the whole flight, then when we got there, and check into our amazing hotel, I called my mother and the kids were eating donuts happy as could be.
I just relaxed and we had so much fun!!! The company took us to different placesevery night for dinner, and just spoiled us. Just to be with Chris, doing whatever was So much fun!!!!!
The last night they had a big awards dinner, all the agents from the whoel country that qualify are there.
As we were getting ready we got a call that the president of the company requested that we sit with him....we had no idea why but assumed this was some kind of big deal!
Some how I ended up sitting right next to him, and if you know my goofy husband at all, you will think this is hilarious, he wanted to document me sitting next to him, so he turned the flash off and tried to be all secret agent and take my picture, but no...Chris in NO secret agent....the president noticed....I felt like a RETARD...he said, ummmm...would you like a picture with me?? Oh....umm sure, I said as my face is turning red!!!! Good thing the lights were low!! I was so embarrassed, Chris also made me take the lady's magazine in the seat next to me in the plain who was sleeping, we laughed until we cried because she kept waking up, but all because he wanted a 5 dollar itunes coupon, I have to admit it was funny!!
Anyway, Chris won the award for New Agent of the Year! It's a big deal in the company and it was really exciting!! I am proud of him!!!
So I must say, I have been converted to a little va-ca with out the kids!!!
Some days I am sad that we are not in Kansas any more.....

Fun! That sounds like a great time just to be away, together, and to relax. Your face is so funny in the secretive photo. I was trying to figure out what you were communicating with your gesture! Now, I know! Glad to know you guys are having fun!!

Congratulations to Chris! He's so good at whatever he does! I'm so glad you guys got away. I guess we all need that now and then, although I would be with you on the tears to the airport!
