Championship 2013 in Chicago...

July 21 - 28
WARNING... This post has LOTS of pictures. 

This year Championship was in Chicago... 
The Windy City. 

Sunday morning Denny dropped Renee and I off at the airport. 
Our flight was at 8:15am. 
We got all checked in and went to the gate, and come to find out our flight 
was delayed about 1 hr.
So we went to the bar to have a drink and wait.  
Then it went to being delayed 2 hrs, them 4 hrs and then it got
 CANCELLED.
OMG.. We ended up sitting in the airport for 8.5 hrs. 
Talk about a LONG day!
We did get lots of work done in the bar... LOL


Renee and I got there early because the Social Heroes were putting 
on a class before Championship started.

 Championship started on July 24, which was Denny's birthday. 
It was a bummer for him to have to catch a plane to fly to Chicago. NOT! 
I was excited that  I got to spend his birthday with him. 

Happy Birthday Babe...


I got to meet Paige from Extreme Home Makeovers. 
She is so cute and tiny. 

Renee, Sasha, Me & Stephanie 



Renee got to be one of the guest speakers at the general session. 
It is so awesome to see how far she and our agency have come in the 
short 10 years since she started. 



SO PROUD OF THE CORWIN-REY AGENCY!! 
LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH.... 


I can't believe how beautiful is it.
The biggest thing that we noticed was how clean it was EVERYWHERE.

Denny and I took a Chicago boat architecture tour.

This train was empty so Denny and I snuck on.
