Dallas


Last week, my little team got to spend time in Dallas helping Cru staff  at the Annual Leadership Gathering Conference and hanging out (if you don’t remember, everyone on my little team lives in a completely different part of the US). It was an enriching time of work and team bonding, even though one of the ladies will be transitioning off our team at the end of this month.
Good Morning, Dallas

We did work and talked to lots of team leaders about microsites and helping set up sites, but I don't want to talk about work. Instead, I'll show you all the fun things we did as a team! Like visiting the JFK assassination memorial:


We Accidentally Smiled

We got to celebrate my birthday, even though it was about two weeks ago. I chose to get dessert at this place called Emporium Pies, and they had such interesting choices! 
Yummy Pies

We had some delicious Texas BBQ on Wednesday, and then we went to the Dallas World Aquarium. It is definitely more than an aquarium… there were lots of tropical birds and reptiles, and a few mammals, like Jewel the sloth. Here are a few of my favorite animals.

She Got Quite Close

I Sleep with This! (Stuffed Animal Version)


Shark Tunnel 

That evening, we picked up Ryan from the hotel and went to dinner together. On the way to the restraurant, we saw a giant pile of ornaments and decided to take a selfie next to it. And this is what happens when your boss is 6’7” and everyone else is a foot shorter than that:


Our Faces Get Cut Off

On Thursday, we spent the day at the hotel talking with team leaders and showing them how microsites can help bring in seeking Christians to join Cru on their campuses. In the evening, we ate at a fantastic Mexican restaurant and checked out a speakeasy in Deep Ellum district. We stopped by a piano bar on the way, and I was asked whether or not I can see myself doing that for a living. Answer: Nah, too loud and too rowdy. 
Loud + Rowdy

But it has been such a fun time! And almost all of them will be in Orlando again this week for our team’s Christmas party J Can’t wait to hang out with them more. 

And wow it's December! As the year comes to a close, I may do some end-of-year reflections, but no promises. More to come...
