Monday, July 16 - Happy birthday to the love of my life! His birthday really worked in our favor today! We started out by getting early boarding on our flight to California with an upgrade to the emergency row which provides more leg room (normally a $100 upgrade fee per ticket!). Then, when we got here, he asked the car rental company if they could upgrade us to a "fast car" and thanks to his bday, we got a Dodge Charger! (And man is it fast!) Today was day 1 of the leadership session of Scentsy Family Reunion so I was in meetings all day. Once they ended around 5:30 though, Simon and I went out to the beach to enjoy the sea air and watch the sun go down. Hooray for California!!!!
Tuesday, July 17 - One of my favorite parts of being involved with Scentsy is the new relationships I am able to build. Amity Cox has been on my team for about 7 years and this is the second time that she and I have been able to hang out at reunion. She is seriously so fun to be around and makes these events extra fun just by being with her! Because it's leadership only, Scentsy provided us with a very yummy luncheon so I was spoiled! It was a good day 2 and the final day of the leadership event. Starting tomorrow, it will be all consultants from all around the world. So exciting!
Wednesday, July 18 - Nichole Ferland, my Super Star Director's Super Star Director, took us to lunch at the Cheesecake Factory today! I can't even imagine how much money they spent taking us to such a nice place but it was really enjoyable to visit with other ladies on our team and get to know them. Tonight, we ventured out to Newport Beach and Balboa. The weather here is beautiful and I could listen to the waves crash on the shore every day and never tire of the sound.
Thursday, July 19 - I was so privileged to get to take my own team out to lunch at California Pizza Kitchen! These wonderful ladies keep me going in my business, even when it gets hard. I am so thankful I was able to meet each one of them! They are all an inspiration to me! Tonight after my sessions, Simon and I went to Corona Del Mar to watch the sun set. It actually gets a little chilly once the sun goes down but it is so beautiful here! I wish we had palm trees in Utah! :)
Friday, July 20 - We have been Facetiming the kids each day but I missed them particularly this day. It was so much fun being in Disneyland with Simon and my team but I kept thinking about how much fun my kids would be having if they were with us! It was amazing getting to go into Disneyland two hours before the park opened and ride rides without waiting in line! What a fun day...even though I ended up with 28,000 steps!
Saturday, July 21 - I can't believe that this convention is already coming to an end! I have enjoyed my time with my Scentsy family and feel renewed and rejuvenated to go home and keep my business going strong. My biggest take-away for the whole week is the need I feel to connect with my team regularly. I am missing that in my business and know that if I focus more on them, the return will be great! Watch out world, I'm back!
Sunday, July 22 - Now that Scentsy Family Reunion is over, it's time to RELAX! Simon and I took a ferry out to Catalina Island. It is so amazingly beautiful out here!!!! I feel like we're on a cruise at a super desirable port! (Actually, ships do come out here but only usually on the 5 day cruises which is why we have never been here before.) We walked around and found a quaint little Mexican restaurant to eat at. While we were watching the waves eating ice cream from a little sea front shop, my mom sent this picture of dad and Ricki at church today. I love how candid and cute it is. Ricki is smiling because she rolled dad's tie up to his chin. How cute are they?
