Convention Recap: Last One!

Today, I'm recapping my trip to Salt Lake City, and the Young Living Convention.

You can read part 1 here, and part 2 here
Friday morning we decided to hit the convention center as early as possible. We had classes lined up, but we really wanted to hit the Expo to explore new products, but mostly, we wanted to meet these guys. 


The OOLA Guru and the OOLA Seeker. 

I've been mentioning several times on the blog that I'm reading OOLA for Women, and how much I'm loving the book! We sat in their seminar on Thursday, and we had to meet them on Friday. Let me tell you, these guys know how to have fun and make everyone feel loved and special!

They had a fun photo booth set up, autographed books, and took time to talk to everyone! 
We had about 3 seconds to throw on a prop and smile for the camera. The fastest thing I could grab was a Viking hat, and I swore I was not going to grab a hat! I just look like I have horns! Ha! 

After grabbing my photo with the OOLA guys, I took 4 stickers and wrote out 4 goals, and then stuck them on their van. 
I'm keeping my goals to myself, but I can't wait to watch them unfold.

Every single woman needs to read OOLA for Women. Like now. It's all about finding balance in an unbalanced world and focusing on the 4F's. Faith, Field, Finance, Family, Field, Fun, and Friends.

After meeting the OOLA guys, I went to some seminars, and then hit the Expo up to explore the newly released products. 
Young Living is now carrying a men's 3 in 1 wash, an after sun spray, an insect repellent, and SUNSCREEN! I was crazy pumped about these new products and can't wait to share more about them with y'all! 
At lunch, we met up with two gals that are involved with the business side of Young Living, and are in my downline! It was a pleasure getting to meet them and talk about this business, it's freedom, and opportunities! I just loved being able to hug them! 
By the end of the day, Jill and I were beat! We had classes all day long, and we had a late night ahead of us with a general session. 
Saturday morning, we were up early for the Color Run! Which ended up not being a color run, because Salt Lake City wouldn't allow the color to be sprayed downtown. I was thankful that I could run without having to dodge spraying color and I could come out somewhat clean on the other end! 
We all lined up at the starting point and finished the 5K! And, I was under my anticipated time!

The rest of the day was spent in classes, and then........ 
We headed to the Carrie Underwood concert! 
Young Living flew Carrie in for a private concert for all of the YL peeps! 
It was a fabulous night! 
Sunday morning, my roommates headed out early! So, my uncle and I met up and went to see the Tabernacle Choir perform. We walked around the gardens, viewed the church, and enjoyed the scenery. 
And the music! If you're ever in SLC, I highly recommend this! We arrived at 8:30, when they did a run through of the show. Between 9 and 9:30 there were announcements and at 9:30 we were in the live recording of the show! You can watch the Tabernacle Choir on many t.v. stations, radio stations, and on You Tube! Last Sunday was a special service for Father's day, so we enjoyed the choir, orchestra, and the hand bell performers! 
After the performance, my uncle dropped me back off at the condo, and since I wasn't flying out until later that afternoon, I decided to explore just a little bit. About 1/2 mile from the condo was an outdoor mall, so I decided to walk there. My girls would have loved this! It was a little oasis smack dab in downtown SLC. There was an outdoor splash pad, and fun lawn seating everywhere! 
I also came across a ton of sidewalk chalk art and took several pictures to show the girls. 
I finally headed to the airport and settled in to read while I waited on my plane.

OOLA shirt- check
OOLA book- check. 
Bye, bye Salt Lake!!!!

I'll see you in September! 
My plane did not land until 11 pm local time, and DJ and the girls picked me up! Oh, how much I missed these babies of mine! It was so good to have hugs as soon as I landed! 

Thanks for letting me share my convention recap! I'll be taking a blogging break for at least a week, while I enjoy some time with my family and while we do some traveling!!!
