WOW! This past weekend!

I'm here in body, but boy, was I tired! Wednesday, the day before leaving for our retreat, I find out I'm the only one that hadn't signed up for the card swap!! Mind you, I'm at work, too. Yow! So what do I do? I made cards that night after coming home, so ended up with only an hour's sleep before having to get to the airport. If I had been a tad smarter, I would have counted how many peopled signed up so I would have known earlier, but nope, I didn't! Silly me, next time I know better!

I met Michele at the curbside check-in and we chatted all the way until our arrival at Salt Lake and met Michelle (from Canada) there. From the time we got picked up by Shar and Nikki, it was pretty much a whirlwind of a weekend.

Thursday, we went shopping at different stores, then we all had the opportunity to participate in a focus group on scrapping. That was pretty interesting, then they fed us pizza. We also all made cards for Russell who's away on a mission (his mom's a hoot and one of the ladies in our group).

Friday and Saturday was classes and giveaways from various sponsoring companies. Those who've been to CKU know to go with an empty (large one!) bag as it gets filled with goodies. Same thing applies here! Anyway, the classes were alot of fun, as always and we learned alot. I finally got to make my first lunchbox (thanks, Kim!). Thanks to Shar, we ate really well, too!

Sad to say, the weekend went by too fast and it was time to go home. I think we all were pretty sleep deprived, but we had a blast!

I know you're wondering where the photos are and I will add them onto the slideshow, so keep your eyes on that. Thanks to Heather (I copied a couple of photos from your blog) for posting your review.

After coming home on Sunday, I had a dinner to attend that evening. It was the Governor's installation dinner. Good thing I had time to take a (long) nap before having to get ready for it. Fortunately, too, it was short and sweet so we were able to get home at a reasonable hour.

Last night, we had another dinner out, since we had to reschedule our family birthday dinner. We went to the Hong Kong Seafood Restaurant and pretty much ate everything! Guess we were all hungry!
