You might be sick of Vegas by now, especially if you did not go. But here is the thing, you can go next year. I did not play a single slot, but I stuck it rich in friendships. Please join us for all future events! There is room at our table for you!
Then we were off to Senor Frogs for lunch! This was the first time I got to hug some of my Primary Chalkboard girls. The company was amazing! We all made some #I’mWithPaul heads on a stick and hatched a plan to have some fun! Do you see Paul photobombing?
The friendships that this blogging world has given me have been the greatest gift! Annie Moffat From The Moffat Girls, Traci Clausen From Dragonflies in First, Greg from Kindergarten Smorgasboard, Frannie From Kindergarten Crayons, and Kristin from Teeny Tiny Teacher are all just darling! Lisa from Growing Firtsies and I were roommates and are just the best of Friends.
After playing around we all went to the BIG 800 blogger meet up! People were hugging and crying and talking really loud- It was amazing!
Susanna from Whimsy Workshop

If you ever want to see some serious talent please consider going to Iteach K or Iteach1st. AMAZING! Lisa and I helped Greg out with his sessions on Thursday. We *might* have gotten matching shirts for the occasion.

We all know Deanna Jump. But in her Keynote speech, we all got to know her a little more. God has given her so much because she trusted him when she had so little. Deanna and I have met a few times, but I always enjoy her so much, I don’t want to be a nerd and take out my camera. This time I was nerd and we took a picture!
The TpT conference was amazing! I mean really! So wonderful!
Heather from 2 Brainy Apples is the brains behind #ImWithPaul

Then it was time to hit the strip. This was after Lisa and I realized that we had been indoors for 4 days straight! I mean CRAZY! It was too fun!
I am super sad that half of the people I love, I don’t have a picture with! Either it’s on your camera, Lisa’s camera, or we were too busy hugging to take a picture! #IAmTakingAPictureWithYouNextYear
It was major Sadsville to say goodbye to the many many many people I love, but the way I figure, it’s only 11 months until we get to go back!
