All of the Catholic School Teachers in Salem, Portland and Eugene were required to go to a Conference on Friday at St. John the Baptist Church in Portland. This was my first year going, but I had heard from all of the other teachers that it can be a long tedious day. Sooooo, I decided that we needed to spice this thing up a little bit. I decided that we should head up the night before, stop for a nice dinner along the way and stay at a hotel. I called it "Our important business trip" and sent out emails to my super fun co-workers. We all told out husbands that we were very sorry that we had to leave town for an important business trip on Thurday night and all day Friday. It was kind of fun to turn it around on them (I must admit).

eating at Claim Jumpers on our way to Portland.
This was just the beginning of a night full of uncontrollable belly laughter.
We have so many funny jokes between us, (that I am sure that only we would think were funny).
We know how to crack eachother up with one look or hand signal.
We "rocked" the Hapmton Inn in Milwaukie!!!
After the conference, we stopped by the local Mexican Restaurant Cha Cha Cha's for some chips, salsa and maguritas. . .YUM! They were much deserved after this conference. It was about half way through the day that I realized that they had lied to me, that conference wasn't "teduious", it was BORING!!!
. . .but we made it fun!
All I can say is that if I have to work full time and live this crazy paced, lightning speed life, at least I get to do it with these awesome ladies. They are so good, to listen to me vent about the trials of adjusting to being a full time working mom. We are all in the same boat, so they have such good advice for me.
We already have our business meeting on the calendar for next year. Everyone loved the "stay at a hotel" idea. We have a pact to try to get to sleep before 1:30am next year though. Too much talking and laughing can't be a bad thing though right?
