100 Years

While John and I were packing for our trip....Mason was playing "dress up" with all of John's things.
I thought he looked quite cute with glasses.

We loaded up the car, and everyone was happy besides one little girl.  You know if she is allowing one of the kids to console her it must be bad!

That snow that Memphis got Friday, decided to hit Atlanta that night.  

All that did was mess up ANOTHER flight to Orlando for us (remember October's driving instead of flying stent).  I'm pretty sure someone up above is not fond of us going to Orlando.  

John's work has a National Sales Meeting every year in January.  This year was different because it was Mueller's 100th anniversary.  They went all out and invited the spouses.  

It is a little easier sitting in an airport waiting on a cancelled/delayed flight when it is on someone else's dime.  What did help pass the time was my amazing book, The Nightingale.  Best book I've read in a loooong time.  Even better, Mason made us these awesome bookmarks to use.  

We finally took off.  Ready for Orlando. 

We started the weekend off with a fun welcome reception and dinner at the hotel.  

The hotel, let me add, was the Four Seasons.  And it was amazing.  It felt like an all-inclusive resort.  

I really could get used to that kind of living!

The next morning we had meetings that everyone attended.  The first hour was an awesome meeting about the timeline and history of Mueller.  It was all very interesting.  The next hour was a motivational speaker that was truly amazing.  

Then we had about five hours to do whatever we wanted.  

They had cabanas rented out along with the NFL games on by the pool.  

That night was the awards dinner.  

The decorations and work they put into this weekend was unbelievable.  

Meanwhile back at home, the boys were ready for school on Monday.
We are so thankful for our parents.  This would have been impossible without their help. 

The employees had meetings during the morning for a couple of hours two of the days.  The fun part for me was the credit they put on our room.  I ended up getting to go to the spa two days in a row (talk about addicting).  The spa was beautiful, and it was the best massage and facial I've ever had.

After yoga, breakfast, and a massage.....relaxing by the pool will do.  

The last night of the trip we split up into groups and were assigned to different restaurants.  

We had heard great things about Morimoto Asia, and it did not disappoint.  

We got back from dinner to head to the closing party.  There was a band, drinks, and lots of desserts.  What more could you ask for?!?

LOVED the idea of The Moscow Mueller.  

It was hard to leave this place.  

We had a great four days.
Mueller put on such a great event with a ton of awesome people. 

We had prepared Mason that we would probably miss his basketball game Tuesday night.  Our flight came in on time, and we were able to surprise him at the game.  

I also found this.  I still draw on their napkins every day.  Mason wanted to draw one for Brody since I wasn't here.  So so sweet.
