Hi everyone... hope you're having a great week

Sorry Pat but I forgot to email you to let you know how I did this week.. I stayed the same... better than gaining

Well in a week from this Monday coming Laurie and I are on our way to the TOPS convention in Chicago. I think I had told you guys about it - Laurie entered a contest with TOPS and he won 1st place in his division Internationally. Because of this he will be recognized at the convention the week of July 2nd and they paid his trip to the convention. We are so looking forward to this trip and it keeps getting better and better every week. On the 1st night that we're there the contest winners and the field staff (the people in charge) are attending a banquet. At all other IRDs (International Recognition Days) we've been to the banquet is just for the winners not the spouses...well last weekend they called us and this year the spouses are attending as well and the banquet is on a Riverboat Cruise.. was I excited or what - I wanted so much to go - anyway we will give you a rundown of our trip when we return.

There are activities and speakers for the 4 days of the convention and we're looking forward to all of it as it will light something in me again and we will share what we learned with you upon our return.

Anyway have a great weekend everyone
Paulette
