Expo

Lance and I spent a few days in Cancun for Matco's annual Expo. We had a great time! Well, I had a great time at least. Lance had a good time, but got sick when we arrived with a head cold and spent one entire day sleeping while I laid out by the pool and went to the gym. It was a very relaxing vacy/Babymoon! :) I didn't get any pictures of us together. I'm waiting to get some from some of our friends who were there.

One of the most exciting things that happened on this years trip was that two couples from our group ended up winning wonderful prizes at our Great Giveaway/Farewell Dinner on the last night. They do a game-show style dinner where they draw your name at random to win really great prizes (tools, toolboxes, next years Expo trip paid for etc.). There are three rounds in the game. The winners from each round of the game plus one 'wild card' person (drawn at the last minute) get to play in the final round. Just making it to this round guarantees the 4th and 3rd place person a $10,000 credit on their tool bill. 2nd place gets a $20,000 credit and 1st place gets a $30,000 credit - in addition to the nice prize they won in their round! Well, one couple from our group ended up being 4th place and another (the one chosen at the last minute as the wild card) was 1st place!!! It was a very exciting night and a great end to the trip.

I do have to brag on my wonderful hubby for a minute, too! For the 3rd year in a row he was one of the Top 200 distributors in the company. I am so proud of him. He works so hard and deserves some recognition for all he does to make his (our) business successful. Here are a few pictures. I'll post some more when I get them.

Lance had to strike a pose on stage.

Me, reading my book :) I did a lot of this (relaxing and reading) on the trip. Thankfully for you all (my friends who have to look at my pale skin), some of it was done at the pool :)
