We rushed back to the complex to watch Laura compete at 230. She was awesome! It's so inspiring to watch someone completley change their lifestyle, and work it! I have never seen so many butts in my life! All jokes aside,these girls were amazing! You see every ounce of effort they put in on that stage. The blood, sweat, tears, the strict diets! I learned so much! We were sitting with Laura's fit family and they were able to explain to us what the judges are looking for. I'll post some pictures of Laura doin her thang! The lights were so bright so my phone didn't get the best pictures before it died again! ;(
She's in the middle (dark purple)
We all had a blast!!
We finally made it back to the hotel after swinging by target to get bottled water, Kleenex, cough drops, and cake batter Chapstick... You know the essentials!
My allergies had really been kicking up over the weekend and I ended up losing my voice! We made time to hang in the lobby with the crew and have a few drinks! Meg and I went upstairs fairly early around midnight and got some sleep! We both were so freaking excited to have a comfy,extra fluffy queen sized beds all to ourself!! 
We had a sitting area!
We stayed at the SpringHills suites in Overland Park! Did you see the comfy beds?!? This place was so awesome they were so accommodating! The rooms were very spacious and really clean!
This was my first trip away from Ollie. So too say I was a feeling a little guilty was a understatement. I was so worried that he was going to flip out and be crazy for his daddy! Perry's dad came into town and they both said that Oliver was a perfect angel he took both naps and had no problems going to bed! Perry let him sleep in our bed while I was gone. Perry said he slept like a king all propped up on my pillows :)
It was such a blessing that papa got to be in town this weekend! I know how much Perry loves having him here. I was a little sad I didn't get to spend much time with him but they really had a good time and so did I! It worked out really well!
We used FaceTime a lot over the weekend, but I'm gald I had the oppertunity to have a girls trip and Ollie had some boys time! I came home Sunday afternoon and I had a sweet little boy who was so excited to see me!
I will call this weekend a success! Here are some pictures Perry sent me over the weekend!
At walmart taking some test drives ;)
What this mama learned this weekend is...
Love the body you have! I am not where I want to be or looking like I want but,that's ok! I am going to work hard. I'm embracing the body I own today!
Inspiration is contagious, I feel like a whole new person coming home inspired and refreshed.
It's okay for me to take some "me time" every now and then!
Girls time is needed, I forgot how quiet and peacefully amazing a 2.5 hour car ride could be with out children!
Until next time!
