My own bed

I'm pretty sure that is what I'm most thankful for every time I get home from traveling. How could it not be? The Marriott in Indy was great, but nothing beats home! 

Session ending early

Attending a wee-long conference is rough! The sessions have been great and I've learned a lot. But man am I having a hard time sitting for a whole session! Today I'm thankful that the presenters for my session both finished their content early! I got a little nap before lunch (which is awesome because I was up way too late last night!). And I also got in a little decompression time before meeting the "Salt Lake County" group for dinner.  I need to psych myself up for tomorrow. I can't count on the sessions ending early again!! 

Jill's sacrifice

My old college friend Jill lives in Fort Wayne, IN. When she found out I was going to be in Indianapolis this week she offered to come meet me for dinner. I'm thankful she was willing to drive 2 hours to get here! I had a great time walking around the city and catching up with her! 

The first day of CADCA

I'm attending a CADCA (community anti-drug coalitions of America) conference in Indiana this week. I get to serve on a healthy community coalition for work. I've always had a hard time with this coalition. Today during the first session, I learned about what it is that bothers me and what I can suggest to fix it. I hope the rest of sessions will be just as informative and helpful.  

Fun surprises

Today I traveled to Indiana to attend a conference for work. I was expecting to only know one other person (who I'm not very close with). I was pleasantly surprised when a friend showed up at the airport, headed to the same conference. There's just something about having someone you know along for the ride. Makes traveling alone a little less intimidating. 

No make up

I'm thankful I could just stay home today and not even bother to put on make-up. I leaving tomorrow morning to attend a conference out of town. I slept in and then spent a good chunk of the day doing laundry and packing. Later in the afternoon I got to hang out with baby J. I'm alway thankful for his snuggles, especially when he falls asleep on me! 

Davis county visits

I'm so thankful I live in Draper. It has been one of the best changes I've ever made in my life. The only problem is now Davis county is kind of far away! I had the opportunity to go up to Kaysville and visit a dear friend who is in town from Oregon. I'm thankful I made the cut and got to visit! She was only in town for a couple days and didn't have much time to visit all her friends. I'm also thankful I could make the most of the drive up there and visit my own family too! It was definitely a late drive home, but it was worth it!
