The fun that is work

So I am working...YAY! I work once, maybe twice a month...crazy right? I work for Planning Professionals Ltd. (shameless plug :D) It's a great company that plans meetings for corporations, and right now for the Yellow Ribbon Program. It's a program that helps Air Force Reserve families when it is time for the service member to deploy...They get to come to the event and learn so much information...stuff that I didn't even know about being an active duty spouse myself, so it's been beneficial for me in more ways than one...

This last event that I worked at was in Orlando...at an A-MAZING hotel...The Peabody!! It was so stinkin pretty, and they're obsessed with ducks there...so there were a lot of duck jokes floating around (no pun intended :D ) I got to meet some crazy folks, on the way to the event, and at the event...First there was Paula, from New York (think of it in your best New York accent)...she adopted me on the plane she liked me so much...I think it was the fact that I offered her an apple slice (because of the way she was staring at them) and then proceeded to tell me that she would love to, but left her glue for her teeth at home!! Therefore her teeth couldn't handle the apples...WONDERFUL! She was a hoot! Then I had a great time with some of the Yellow Ribbon folks themselves...hilarious people that are trying to make things better for those in need...Oh and I might add that I got to work with my 2nd mom, and Court! Super fun gals that made me laugh majority of the time I was there...

I've got to say that I'm loving this job a bit...Now I just need to find something to do with my time during the week and I'll be set...This is the perfect job because I get to travel, work with military folks, and work with kids! Seems like a win-win to me...especially because of all the personal travel trips that I have planned for this year...More on those later :)

Hope everyone had a wonderful Monday!

Paintball

My brother

This kid here

is a famous paintballer...guys know him all over the country...he's so famous that when he walks through paintball fields people whisper, "it's him...Happy!" (Happy is his call sign)

Well, maybe not everywhere he goes, but it definitely does happen...

It makes me proud :) I'm his big sister, and he's famous in the paintball world...at least I think he is.

The honorary player

My dad is not only pretty much the sponsor of this paintball team, but an honorary player. He got a cool jersey to wear and everything...I made my own shirt for the occasion and was dubbed a coach (something I do not take lightly). I have a nice raspy voice to prove it!

We went to watch NTX play at the national paintball tournament...they were amazing!

I am always extremely impressed by the amount of speed, agility and ground maneuver tactics that make up this sport. 

They made it to Sunday, which is a big deal...at that point they were 19 out of 46 teams. They did not make it all the way to finals, but they were still amazing. Not sure what place they actually came in, but cheesy as this is about to sound...they're NUMBER ONE to me :D

I'm proud of you brother and all you have accomplished! Love you!

Way to go NTX!!
