Recharging

Happy Monday!

Have you ever had one of those weekends that you need a weekend from? That is exactly the boat I am in today. I am still wiped out from everything we had going on over the last several days.

I spent a few days in St. Louis, MO for my companies Spring Conference. That in and of itself is a ton to take in. It is roughly 8 hours a day of non-stop training and announcements followed by a lot of time connecting with people across the country. It may sound like a lot of work, but it really is a big party most of the time. This conference was especially awesome because we unleashed a new instant eye cream, a customer loyalty program, and enhancements to our compensation plan. It was an awesome couple of days. 

On top of that, Josh and I went apartment hunting literally 15 minutes after I walked in the door from St. Louis. We drove out to Manitowoc and did several showings. Thankfully we ended the day filling out an application for a place we both really loved and fit our criteria. (Prayers over that would be much appreciated).

By the time Josh and I got in the door after our tours, I was well past spent. I had accomplished a ton in a short amount of time and was ready for some much needed relaxation and sleep.

And that is exactly how we spent our Sunday. Since I overslept, Josh and I attended “church for shut-ins” (that’s what we call it when we watch the sermon online). After busting my butt for the previous few days, it was great to bring it full circle and have time with my husband and God.

In this fast paced, get things done, instant gratification world, it’s refreshing to take a moment (or a day) to recharge and focus on what’s important. Because of the day we had yesterday, I am ready to face this week fresh-faced and ready to work.
