fun in the sun (and by fun i mean a FLIPPIN' BLAST)

well we went to hawaii last thursday. it was amazing. i felt so unprepared because we didnt plan anything-no plane tickets, no hotel, no activities, nothing. we didnt even find out when we were leaving until tuesday. but im not gonna lie i liked it that way! it was so relaxing to just go and enjoy ourselves.

for those of you who dont know, the reason we went is because of sams work. they take the top ten salesmen on a trip each year, and we were fortunate enough to get to go.

wow. all i can say is if anyone is thinking about doing summer sales, these are the guys to go with. i know there are a ton of great companies out there, but these guys really are awesome!

our trip was short but it was incredible! it was my first time and sams second going to hawaii and ill i could keep saying was you WILL do your masters program here. i want to live there so badly!

there were 18 of us who went and everyone there was awesome. we had tons of fun! we stayed in an 8 bedroom 5 bathroom beach house!

here we are getting SUPER excited about going to hawaii!

yes they rented 5 convertibles for us to use.
