Healthy Living Summit Cocktail Party

August 20, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Good afternoon! We are on lunch break so I thought I would try to get a post up real quick. Hope you are all having an amazing day! I am having a great time but am so tired. Ready to be in my own bed!

Ok so last night we had a super great time at the cocktail party. The planning committee did a great job of picking a place, and everyone had a blast! The food was good, the photo booth was insanely fun, and the company was the best ever.

 

 

I loved making new friends and getting to chat with some of my favorite bloggers.

Diana, Stephanie, and Andrea

Kelly, Erin, and me

me and Allison

Look how cute these boards are!

Can you spot me?

The party was in the cool and funky Reading Terminal Market.

 

Bloggers taking pictures of the sign. Everyone kept trying to figure out what we were doing.

Roomies!

We wrapped up at 10:00, my feet were killing me, I was so happy to get to sit down finally. Luckily, I was not the only one sharing this sentiment. I can’t wait to show you guys the insanely funny photo booth pictures we took, what a great idea and a great souvenir.

It was SO NICE to finally put a name with a face to some blogs I read/people on twitter. I can’t wait to go home and add to my Google reader! Better get back downstairs, don’t want to miss anything! Don’t forget to follow #HLS on Twitter!

QOTD: What is your favorite party food?

    LOVED the cocktail party, mostly because of running around and getting to meet everyone in such a relaxed atmosphere. The tasty foods/drinks certainly didn’t hurt, either.

    And even though I did a lousy job of doing this IRL: I loved your dress, you looked fantastic!

      hi sweet girl, so nice to meet you, too! Thanks for the compliment!
      I loved your panel at HLS, and I LOVED how you said you hate running. I feel like too many readers and bloggers feel like they have to run to be healthy, so not the case!

Backstory: It was our last morning and Myself, my Backstory:
It was our last morning and Myself, my mom and dad were sitting outside by the fire drinking coffee enjoying the view. My mom was walking to the door and my dad and I heard a scraping noise on the deck. I was sitting and the column was blocking my view. Dad was standing. He turns away from me, and says super casually:

“Oh look, it’s a bear.” 🐻 

I jumped up sure enough there is a baby bear standing at the top of the steps, 12 feet from us. We ran in and locked the door and called for Bobby and EK to come look. We left our coffee outside and mom and dad’s phones were out there. Thankfully I had mine for video!

We had grilled steaks the night before so they were coming to find the food. (After the first morning…we had grilled the first night too…we saw bear paw prints so we knew there were some in the area.) 

Emma Kate was recording on her iPad, and got the best clip of all, the very best one! He actually seated at her two different times but we only got one on video. 

It was quite the adrenaline rush but also SO COOL and a great way to end the trip!!! 

*Please do not ever approach or feed a bear. While black bears typically aren’t aggressive, if humans feed them they will continue to get close. If staying in the Smoky Mountains stay aware and never leave food outside or in your car! And lock your car and cabin doors.*
