Las Vegas

Sciele, the pharmaceutical company I work for has an annual National Sales Meeting and this year it was in Las Vegas, NV!

The first night was awards night and I was honored with the Rookie of the Year award. I was chosen as the highest sales for the Primary Care Diabetes Division and got a crystal award and I got to go on stage in front of all 900 employees and except it from the president, CCO, CFO, and all the other big wigs! I was in shock because it was so unexpected! It was so neat because the rest of the trip I would walk down the hall and complete strangers would be telling me congratulations! It was the first award I have won since college and it was by far one of the highlights of my professional career! I am beyond thrilled!!

The next few days were spent going over extensive data and reports as well as never ending seminars. It may have been in Las Vegas but I didn't step outside the conference rooms until Wednesday night! I learned a lot and I am so ready to get cracking on President's Club 2010! This year it is in Bermuda! I WANT IT!!!! Winning awards feels too good to not go all the way next year!

Thursday, the NSM came to a close and I decided to stay two extra nights with two of my girlfriends! We had so much fun! We went down to old Vegas, rode in a limo (my first time!), gambled, danced, ate fantastic sushi, saw the water show at the Bellagio, went shopping at all the high end stores, got all glammed up (makeover thanks to Kelly!) and even got to go see most of the casinos. I figured out very quickly I am a complete tight wad. I only gambled $20 the whole week. I would rather buy shoes, which I did (only 3 pairs!) I headed home on Saturday and spent the entire day flying from Las Vegas to Memphis to Huntsville. It is so good to be home with my precious pug!! I have been to Vegas and it was great but I think I have had enough for a very long time.

Paris!

New Year's Eve!

After a horrible week I truly needed a night on the town with the ladies! We went to Above, in downtown Birmingham, AL. We had a wonderful time, I got to meet one of my friends and her husband at their house, who introduced me to her girlfriends and we went out to countdown the evening until midnight. It was so much fun! I started the night off by going to dinner with my parents at Olive Garden where we ran into my cousin and his wife ( who was lovely!) It was a night to remember! Happy New Year!
