Viva Las Vera....

On my last trip to Vegas for Vera Bradley, I got to hang out with one of my best friends Shaun Slaughter..we worked together for 6 years at Brighton and he is now the Director of Retail Operations at Vera Bradley..he is so GREAT! He and his beeyootiful wife and baby now live in Fort Wayne and I don't get to see him much...so we had a great time hanging out with his team of managers...

Didn't win any money..probably because we didn't gamble! :)

also included is a photo of my BATHTUB in the hotel room. It was huge. It had a flat screen TV in it. I was in HEAVEN..

greeley central gala, opening night of fiddler..

some fun photos of the week..my music theatre class at the Gala..they were performing "One Day More"..from Les Mis..plus me with my two favorite student teachers, Marie and Jarrett...and Kayla and Mikey as the Thenardiers...

It made me excited for Les Mis..the Arvada Center finally has rights..Thinking about auditioning.....

Also, opening night of Fiddler, Alison ( Hodel) and Jalyn, , Erica ( my mini-me, also Gma Tzeitl) with Raja butting in..Alison and Ryne, Spencer and Raja and Seth...and Spencer and Jalyn...( Spencer is the latest addition to the home for Wayward Boys..he is living here during the run of Fiddler...before he moves on to become famous.)

Fun Times!

a lovely hodgepodge..gavin concert, mother's day, playing with the camera functions...

Saturday night the Webb kids ( minus Nathan) went to see Gavin DeGraw...what an incredible show..he is one of the most genuine, talented, humble and entertaining performers I have ever seen. We had so much fun, screaming ourselves silly, getting autographs after the show..and generally acting as if we were 15 again. Amy and Andrew have a cool feature on their cameras that you can turn a black and white photo into a black and white with one color showing photo, which you can see some great examples of here. Also..for the moms....Amy and her kids, Rachel and her kids, and My mom with the girls...a happy Mother's day to all.

Also a cute photo of the even cuter Amelia...she is a funny bunny. and a cute kid to boot.

I just spent a week in Orlando at our Vera Bradley Premiere. Basically, this is an event for all the retailers to come to to see new fall product, and to take classes like inventory management, marketing, merchandising, etc..it is a full blown event! It was SO much fun, and I learned so much. Our WESTERN REGION team is the greatest..we bonded really quickly, and we really enjoy each other.. so above some fun photos of the trip.
