NC: Vegas for CSM conference

February 9-12, 2009

Combined Sections Meeting in Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay. There were over 8,000 people there, which made it difficult to get into the courses that I wanted to attend. There were interesting topics that spawned new thoughts as to what my future holds...

My second assignment was in Raeford, NC. I worked in a health and fitness center with a PTA, Ryan, and a secretary, Shonda.

This is me and the fitness employee up front, Susan.

One of my first sunrises on my way to work. How beautiful!

Kitchen, complete with a dishwasher, my favorite part.

Dining room where the kitties get to look out the window and watch for birds.

Living room.

One of the most comfortable beds that I've ever slept in.

Overall, this place is hands down better than Peru, IL!
