Oh My 'Lanta!

  Every year doTERRA invites their Silver and above ranked leaders to a leadership retreat on the west or east coast, to connect and learn together.

  It has been held in Orlando, FL recently, but this year was in ATLANTA!

  Atlanta is about 7 hours from here, so we packed up the kids to head to Grammy's for the week.  Packed up ourselves for a looonnng car trip, grabbed our Hawaii themed leaders gifts and headed out! :)

  We have a doTERRA friend living at the same RV park as us, heading to the same retreat, so we had her hop in.  We picked up my momma in central Florida on the way through and made it a car full.  Poor poor Dale, surrounded by women that have to stop to pee often, LOL! He did well.

  We checked into our darling apartment on the top floor, grabbed some dinner right next door at Pho24, ate some amazing beef pho (pronounced Fhu), a bbq bahn mi sandwich and my favorite, bubble tea!

    Wow, we got to enjoy quite the view!!!! 

  The temperatures were dropping rapidly and the wind chilled our bones, we knew before we headed out to the retreat tomorrow, we were going to need to try to find a scarf or hat or something.

 Coming from Florida, we had NO warm clothes.  Thank goodness, Drea had sent me with her sweaters and boots to borrow!!!!!!

  We grabbed the car and headed to a cool 2 story Target.  We didn't get very far, traffic was backed up like crazy. Apparently Bad Boys 3 is being shot on our block.

   We only found a scarf, since they had all their swimsuits out instead, headed back home to call it a night and settle in for some good sleep...

  NOPE!  

  I woke up out of my first sleep to a HUUUUGE explosion and rapid gunfire.  I grabbed Dale's arm.

  OH NO! I KNEW Atlanta was dangerous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dale ran out to the screened in porch. Traffic and people walked and continued as usual.  Hmmm........

   Then it hit us, OHHHHHHHHHHHH - THE MOVIE!

  We found out they shut down the city streets from 7pm - 7am to shoot the movie.

  The war zone continued every hour on the hour. This is NOT how I wanted to start a busy week!

  Thank goodness for oils that support clarity and energy, because we needed it. We headed to register, see our team and get the day started.  It love the energy of these big events!

  We heard some company updates, new products coming soon and then Rachel Hollis BROUGHT IT...so good!  We ended the day at the diamond banquet.

  Thursday was jammed full of topical break out sessions, then doTERRA rented out the entire Atlanta aquarium for our Luau party.  It was amazing!  Loved getting to wander around and see all the exhibits!

   The next morning we got to walk the stage as new Blue Diamonds. I am so beyond blessed and excited to be doing this with my best friend and moving up in this fabulous company to now represent the top 2%.  God is so good!

   We got out at 1 and went to Publix to pick up some food we ordered for our team to come hang and eat.....we would be leaving bright and early the next morning!

  Silly Dale ;)

 Well Atlanta, it's been amazing, but I am so happy to see my Florida home again and be 5ish hours away from home!

  Guess who had so much fun at Grammy's they didn't even need us to come home!?

  Haha, these guys.  I am so glad they had such a great time.  Grammy gave them a rave review, so let's hope they were as well behaved as she says they were.  ;)

​ Check out all the fun adventures they had. 

  The beach, ice skating, putt putt, hibachi grill, a beach day, hair dying with Aunt Torrey....no wonder they didn't want us to come home yet! LOL :)
  

  My mom and brother and the fam come down this weekend to hang out.  I am so excited! :)

​Hugs, T
