Sales Meeting in Lake Lanier, GA...

Last month I had to travel to Lake Lanier, GA for our annual US sales meeting for my company. It was my first work trip since June and while I was sad to leave home (as I always am) it was a really great meeting and as always we work hard but played even harder!

First thing to note about this trip is how beautiful our resort was and how amazing that lake is. It's a huge lake and the resort just sits right in the middle of all this lakefront wilderness. It's awesome. I took advantage of one afternoon of free time and early mornings to walk around the resort, taking in all the beautiful views and the amazing sunrises. It was a pretty awesome spot to be working for the weekend. 

Our meetings were productive and exciting as my company is rolling out a new product that will really be a game changer for us - such a cool thing to be a part of from conception, design, production and now finally the release and sales of it. I won't bore you with details but just know it's a fun time for our company. 

The fun we had was well earned and it's always great being with the team. Some people are shocked to see that I pretty much work with all guys and that's ok with me - they think of me like a sister (or sometimes they call me Ultrasound Mom) and I think of them as bonus brothers. We hung out around the awesome fire pits, we went on a dinner cruise, we played pool and foosball, and we enjoyed fireworks, watching football and a live concert that we stumbled across as well. 

Of course the highlight was our team building exercise that I organized which was zip lining through the woods! How fun! I was excited then nervous then completely thrilled - the emotional roller coaster was part of the fun I suppose! The guys were hilarious and it was fun to see some of them go from "tough guys" to legit freaking out on some of those tree stands - haha! The company that runs this does an awesome job - the guides are hilarious (they snapped a selfie of themselves after I asked them to take a group photo) and they even decked out the bus to be a legit party bus - stripper pole included! Too much fun and I can't wait to go zip lining again soon - Adam would LOVE it! 

I'm so grateful for the job I have and the co-workers I have - it's just such a rewarding part of my life - I wouldn't change it for anything.
