It’s about time I post this. It’s been nearly a month since ALT summer and I’m finally getting around to sharing and reconnecting with the wonderful women I met. This was my third ALT event and yet again I was blown away at all the details and parties but most importantly the quality of people I met. It’s so great to know that when you put yourself out there and get out of your comfort zone that you will be rewarded with meaningful conversations and the beginnings of new friendships and partnerships. It’s really pretty great.

The event started on Wednesday night with dinners around town. I attended the Search For Your Awesome party hosted by Alison of The Alison show. We had signature cocktails, a food truck dinner, nail art, a makeup artist, and lots and lots of fun props. It was really fun and when it was time to go I wasn’t quite ready which is always the sign of a good party!

The next day we had classes all day followed by a party in the park that evening. The weather was a bit on the cool side but everyone just bundled up and made the most of it. There were a few food trucks to choose from and once I got my food I sat down and watched the break dancers doing their thing. I love to dance regardless of how good or bad I look so when the opportunity arose to get on the “dance floor” I took it along with a few other dance crazy attendees. It was so fun!

After a final day of classes we ended the event with a garden party complete with beautiful flowers, tasty bites, bikes to ride, and lots of other wonderful details. It was a great chance to get a few lovely pictures with friends. The ladies above I met online before the event and 4 of us shared a room. It was great to come back at the end of the day and share our stories and get to know each other a little more. The last night was by far the best. Two of us went out for a drink and when we got back we thought the other two would be sleeping but they were still up and we were all overtired and a lot of giggles were had. I had a 6 am flight but I figured I could sleep when I got home so I enjoyed myself and the time left with my new friends.

I had a pretty great time overall. I will say though that two ALTs in the same year was a tad overwhelming so I may need to decide which event I’d rather go to in the future. Hmm…decision, decisions. For now I’ll do my best to stay connected with my new friends and hope to see them again in the future.

Now I’m off to the beach!
