IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!

It's my birthday, and I’ll Daisy Duke if I want to! Yes, that’s right, I went to see the Dukes of Hazzard @ Duke Fest on my birthday! What an awesome childhood memory watching the Dukes. I wanted to grow up to be pretty and independent like Daisy and to marry Bo Duke. Come on girls, you know you did too. And they always had such innocent fun. Whatever happened to the “good ole days” TV shows!


We did have a great time. The kids got to see the cars from the show, ride a few carnival rides, and see the Atlanta Motor Speedway. And we even freshened up on our Duke trivia. And now I can put my picture of me with the General Lee when I was 10 next to these (and I will not announce my age) pictures with my children. A great birthday!

Deeper Still Conference 2008!

WOW!! What an awesome weekend! This was a Christian Women's conference with guest speakers Beth Moore, Priscilla Shirer and Kay Arthur! 3 amazing women! It lasted Friday night and all day Saturday. There were approximately 50 women from our church (Southcrest Church) that went and spent the night together that Friday night! I shared a room with 3 precious ladies, Sheena, Kristie and Kathy. And guess what, they surprised me with a birthday celebration when we got back to the room on Friday night. Birthday cake and girl time with 20 ladies until 1am!! Who could ask for more?

Ok, back to the conference. It turned out to be the birth of a new life for me! I realized that our time here is very short and we were chosen for an exact purpose. To stop focusing on myself, and my needs, and turn that focus on fulfilling God's will for my life! I am fired-up and can hardly wait what to see what adventures he has in store for me! I'll be sure to keep you posted.

What happens in Mexico...

SuperStar trip to Playa de Carmen, Mexico!!

Raymond did it! He won his 1st SuperStar trip with Alfa Insurance! This is a VERY HARD trip to win, only do their best agents ever make it, and my Raymond did it!

We had the best time. It was just the 2 of us in Mexico with no agenda for an entire week. Who could ask for more? We mainly stayed on the resort (where there was so much to do) the entire week. They had special dinner events planned for us 2 nights with live entertainment. We did go out Deep Sea Fishing one day and caught a 75lb White Marlin after 3 hours of fishing.

My Business trip to Munchen, Germany

In May 2008, I was given an awesome opportunity to visit our Porex office in Munchen, Germany! It was a great trip! I was there for 5 days, worked 3 and toured the city for 2. And I couldn't have asked for better "Personal Tour Guides" than Sonja & Monika! We toured the city on the same day that Munchen celebrated their National Soccer victory at City Hall with free beer for everyone! You could imagine the people that showed up for that! I also saw the opera house, local grocery, mall, churches, museum, markets, chocolate shops, toy store and much more! Even went to an English movie theater! I got the privilege of eating at all their favorite restaurants; German, Italian, Mexican, Thai (who could ask for more that awesome food?) And can you believe that I ate all this food and still lost 2 lbs!! I don't think I have walked so much in my entire life! It was great, no need for a car when you have such an awesome rail system. And they ride bikes and walk their dogs everywhere. Very conscious of the environment and health. I was truly impressed! Please click here to view all the pictures from my trip.
