Marvelous Monday

Happy Monday All! I know I was a bit MIA last week, but I was on a whirlwind adventure.... ok so maybe not an adventure,  but I was out of the office and out of town.

I spent Thursday and Friday in Dallas at the SMU Air Law Symposium. For this of you not in the legal world, or academia this is the preeminent Aviation Law Event. Imagine me, however, baby lawyer walking into a room full of men in suits.... Yes like 300 of them and about 50 women. To says its a make-dominated field is an understatement. I spent two days learning lots about the aviation law field, not when I saw learned, it was not necessarily all law related. I truly enjoyed getting to meet people in this unique area of law and learning lots.

Then Friday after, hubs and I sped out of the Metroplex for the Hill Country of Austin. My lil sister was getting hitched to her prince charming. Her story with her new hubs is truly a fairytale and it was wonderful to share in her day. The wedding took place at a small resort overlooking Lake Travis. She had an outdoor, 11am ceremony which was gorgeous! We laughed, cried, and were truly blessed to share in this love story. I also got to see one of my fav law kids!

Me, the bride, and our good friend. We are two JDs and a soon to be JD!

Hubs and I took this opportunity for a lil vacay. We stayed at the gorgeous Barton Creek Resort and Spa! This place is gorgeous. Tucked in the hill country, beautiful scenery, great pool, and took in a game of mini golf. We used this as a time to relax and enjoy each other.

We then zipped home early Sunday because hubs had a baseball  game for his company team and I had new pageant girls to meet! I am serving as a resource director for some Miss Texas contestants this year and we have lots to do before Spring Meeting in two weeks!

I have the pleasure of preparing Miss McKinney and Miss Garland's Outstanding Teen. If you would like to sponsor one of these ladies let me know!! These ladies won their respective titles through the sweeper pageant, which means it does not come with a great prize package per se. If you would like to donate your time, talent, or $$ they would appreciate it. We need hair, wardrobe, tanning, and each contestant has to sale ad pages for the program book. It's a lot to accomplish, but the experience is worth its weight in gold.

I met some of my best friends by competing in the Miss Texas Organization (as in my sister, the bride from this weekend...) Happy Monday all!
