Planning in our innovative eyelash shape; the amazing light fixtures in the Hyatt ballrooms; floating with the floating monument. —1
My entire events team just got back from our on-site planning trip to Dallas for our January conference. I would love to go into the beauty of the Hyatt Regency, and how much I love meeting and working with different CSMs (conference services managers). Our CSM, Rizwan, has been helpful, and he tells us the funniest (and interesting) things. I would love to elaborate more on his ideas to take over Wolfgang Puck Five Sixty atop the Reunion Tower with my co-worker Sean—naming their masterpiece of cuisine “Sean, Rizwan, and Puck”—sorry, Mr. Wolfgang, they have you outnumbered. I would love to elaborate on just how much steak my team can eat, how we found the floating JFK memorial, and just how much we make each other laugh.
But I will leave it at the basics. We came. We saw. We planned. Now I would like to get some sleep.

Okay, so maybe you would like some more detail, and I would love to give it, but it is truly so hard to sum up how lucky I am to be doing an event planning job I love, and working with people who are just so great. So here are just a couple snap shots from the trip. I’ll put it this way, we work hard, but we have a lot of fun, too.

While in Dallas, I also was able to spend some time visiting my cousin, Clark, and his girlfriend, Meghan. They made me some amazing pork chili—I didn't leave with the recipe, but I haven’t given up on it yet. I rarely get to see my cousins, so any chances we have to sneak in a visit are a must.

I am very sad to see our fellowship of the Catholicism Series end next week. Tuesday nights, our lovely friend, Kate, was willing to host us for dinner, wine, time with some wonderful women, and a video from the series. It was one of the most recreational activities I have taken part in for quite some time. It is just so rejuvenating to learn about your faith, eat great food, and laugh with friends—fellowship and warm hospitality at its finest.

Thankfully, I have another study starting up to take its place. I will be gathering with a couple of other friends to read St. Teresa of Avila’s The Interior Castle. I’m sure this book will really shake things up.

When I woke up this morning, it looked like this outside. So much for fall…

Has anyone ever talked about the fact that sometimes finding 7 whole things to write about is really hard? I have officially decided to make 7QT and every-other-week project. I really enjoy writing, and I am finding this to be a good outlet, but it is hard to keep up with sometimes. So instead of sitting down at the keyboard to quickly bang out a Quick Takes, I would like to give it more time so that the whole experience can be more of a leisurely experience.
But I do have an exciting post coming up next week! Stay tuned for something theological, feminist, witty, and empowering from myself and guest contributor, Michelle.
