Love Me Some Peyton Manning

Before I update the world on our past two weeks on the island, I thought I would reference some important things that happened before Adi and I left Utah...

First of all, Heidi and I flew to Denver for the National Resume Writer's Association Conference. (Last year it was in Chicago.)

This was a BIG, especially considering we were presenting and it was the reason Ryan headed to Grenada before I did.

The first night we were there, Heidi and I hit up downtown and Sam's #3. 

I ordered their Green Chile Burger at the recommendation of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives...

I also hit up the town with a colleague from back East. Last year in Chicago I was with him when I was legitimately carded for the first time, and this year surprise, surprise, I was carded the second time when we went to a bowling alley!? (Bowling score too pitiful to be divulged.) 

The next morning the pre-conference workshops took place, and I started the conference by learning about my "Millennial Ranking" from a Pew Center Research Quiz. 

Who knew? Apparently my lack of ink brings my score down... 

We joked about the number of shoes a girl needs for a three-day conference... 

And about my shameless selfie addiction...

I got to see Hannah, Andrew, and Casen before I left (only a few days before Casen's 1st Birthday!) 

Bought a Broncos hat and it stayed on my head for three days straight. #ilovepeytonmanning #obsessed #nextchildisgoingtobepeyton

Had more fun with this lady...

And apparently set NRWA fashions--this was tweeted by a colleague... something about the skirt, pearls, hat, and flip-flops. (:

After the conference was over, Heidi and spent more time downtown where we ate super yummy food...

Smoked Salmon Salad with a caper sauce... loved (capers were a bit strong), want to recreate this baby!

Eating out with Heidi is not complete without sweet potato fries... (:

As one last hooray, Heidi took me bowling--I NEVER bowl, but twice in one week is pretty amazing.  We had to wait at the bar--yes, Heidi and I ordered water at the bar! (: 

And I actually got my bowl on...

Got really close to breaking 100, which for me has NEVER happened. #badbowlerproblems

It really was a great conference and I'm excited to have reconnected with colleagues like Sara...

All in all, Denver was a great trip. I look forward to starting my own consulting firm and the continued relationships I will be able to develop because of it.
