This and That

The Awards Banquet was quite a blast on Thursday night. I personally didn't go with high expectations except for the opportunity to meet some of Josue's colleagues on the field. Needless to say, I left the banquet with greater and higher respect for my man's work and business. It was held at the Prestonwood Country Club--very lovely overall and the food was actually really good. We sat at a table with 2 other married couples who weren't that much older than us, in their 30's with children of their own. The husbands started their careers with Farmers Insurance about 2 or 3 months ahead of Josue, but because Josue caught up before too long, he ended joining the same courses and classes with them. So 3 of them have been somewhat a gang from the start, and are rather close-knit because Josue treats them like his mentors. They were really fun to hang around with, and their wives were equally hilarious. Our table was probably the loudest one among all because we kept cracking up jokes and were being totally 'unmodest'. Ha! Then there was the presentation of awards, mostly to the seniors who have been doing this business for YEARS. Seriously though, I imagine Josue to be the next one on that stage not too long from now. He is young, hardworking and already way ahead of his peers, I believe he will make it big. Even looking at it now, we see that the Lord has really blessed the business within this span of 2 and a half years. And Lord willing he will continue to make a bang in this business. I am already so proud of him!

Yesterday we had the chance to meet up with Laura Rich. She had been in the DFW area all weekend, and dropped by our part of the 'hood' yesterday. It was wonderful to see her. She joined us for Bible Class and worship at Skillman in the morning, and then she went with a bunch of us from church to have lunch at Genghis Grill. It was amazing because she actually knew a few people at Skillman apart from the usual gang from ACU. Laura seems to know people everywhere she goes! Afterwards, she gave her Arbonne (Swiss skin care company) demonstration at our apartment for a group of girls. It was really fun and educating. So anybody who needs any Arbonne products, contact Laura! =) She is really good at it. She plans to be with us again for TND (Tuesday Night Dinner) a week from now when she is back in Dallas again.
