Last weekend, Saturday to late Tuesday, I was in Atlanta for the Mortgage Bankers Associations Annual Convention. I was there with my company, IDS, all the sales team and the owner! I had a great time, but it was a lot of hard work and quite long days. By the end of it I was ready to be home and not talk for at least a day! I was very nervous about this show, not necessarily about going, but because for the past 2 months I have been planning a big event that IDS hosted at our booth throughout the convention and I had no idea how it would go. The event was a Cycling Challenge Benefiting Atlanta Habitat for Humanity. IDS and luckily other convention attendees and IDS clients biked 200 miles in 2 days on a stationary bike for Habitat for Humanity. We also got some donations from other companies for a good caused and raised a little over $6,000! The event went better than I expected and I am so glad! I am also glad that it is over! I had a great time and as usual I learned a ton! I also decided that I love what I do and I am really good at it. I love doing PR and talking to people and building those relationships with clients, partners and others. It makes such a difference to build the relationship in person over the course of a few days and that is exactly what I get to do at these conventions. Here are some pictures from the trip! On Sunday Kortney and I got to go to the Falcons game with one of our clients! We had club seats at the 50 yard line, it was the greatest thing ever! Being the sports fanatic that I am I could not have been more thrilled to attend my first NFL game, I could get use to that! It was a great trip, but I am still catching up on my exhaustion! Thanks IDS!
