Atlanta- Day 2 & 3

It was our final conference day at the Chick-Fil-A headquarters, so thought I would post some pictures of inside the building.

The infamous "cow".
The owner has lots of antique cars...including.....

the BATMAN car!! Billy is actually talking to Chris and telling him about the car.





This was just outside the front doors; the whole building is surrounded by trees.

We met up with a friend that Billy met on the internet while playing the game 'Travian', and we ate at this restaurant. The desserts looked scrumptous!! (although after dinner we were too stuffed to try any!)

Here is Roy.....the monkey is a different story.


Saturday Billy is taking an additional session on becoming certified to be a teacher of the "Habitudes" curriculum that is authored by Tim Elmore. So I will be 'vegging' out at the hotel all day. Hopefully it won't rain and I can actually go swimming! It has been a great couple of days and I even have learned some things that will help me at my job.

Life Is A Highway

Billy and I have made it to Atlanta.....here are some pics of on the way here.


On the way from Nashville.....the 'spot' in the middle is actually bug guts on the windshield.

Steeep grade.....
So the trucks have a 'slow-down-lane'....so to speak!!
This was a truck we passed.....thought 'meow mix' was a strange thing to use for fuel!!
Our hotel here in Atlanta...it is right next to the airport.
Just look at the size of that T.V.!!
You can watch it from this room on this comfy couch....
Or from the king-sized bed.




I'll leave you with a 'highway' video.

Garage Sale & Hail Storms

This is Sydney posing with a concrete baby statue....but more on it later.


We had a garage/yard sale yesterday at my in-law's house, since our garage was far from being ready, and they have a nice long driveway!! Sydney taking a break to color; the table she is sitting at was sold, but the owner hadn't come back to get it yet: Annabella eating her yummy lunch of sweet peas and hawaiian delight!! Okay...this next picture is of the concrete 'baby'.....we affectionally named it the 'demon baby' because of the way the eyes are painted.
BUT.....something horrible happened to 'demon baby' on the way from our house to our in-law's house....it...um...... kinda fell off the trailer, making it a.......





HEADLESS demon baby!! Billy was going back to our house to unhook the trailer and found it in the middle of the street about 2 blocks from our house. So we put the head back on and let it sit in front of the garage to keep the bugs away. It really looks kind of creepy, doesn't it???
So we closed up shop around 2:00, and about an hour later, this nice little hail storm hit:




That is from the front door.............




This is from the back door; I was really afraid our glass table top was going to bust! Today has been a much quieter weather day.

I am on vacation this week as Billy & I are heading to Atlanta on Tuesday for the 2008 NATIONAL LEADERSHIP FORUM:
“Screenagers: Equipping and Unleashing Generation Y”
featuring Dr. Tim Elmore, Dr. Leonard Sweet, Paul Litten, and Chick-fil-A executives. I

It is being held at the Chick-Fil-A Headquarters. We have opted to drive because it just wasn't any cheaper to fly!! Hopefully we will have nice weather and no car troubles.

Stormy Night....

It's a stormy night here in SW Missouri; earlier today a storm came through and caused some damage to some businesses along Hwy 65; above is a picture as it blew over our house. Here is one from the newspaper of signs down along Hwy 65:




However, last Sunday was a very nice day as well before it rained, so Billy & Sydney took advantage of the nice weather.








We are having a garage sale this Saturday, so been trying to get ready for that as well. It is amazing how much stuff you accumulate even AFTER you have sale after sale!! The weather is supposed to clear up by tomorrow afternoon, so this weekend should be another sunny one!
