Thursday afternoon Brandon, me, and a friend on our team left for AdvoCare's Success School in Dallas Texas. I went back in February alone, as Brandon was deployed, {read the blog from there here} but this time he was able to join me! We had an incredible time.
We left Thursday afternoon and drove for E L E V E N hours. Whew. That was a treck! The ride there was not so fun. The first 8 hours were fine, but then it was just too much. I can road trip with the best of them, but good grief. Not 8 months pregnant! I tried not to drink a lot so we wouldn't stop a lot, but then I got swollen and dehydrated. I don't swell, so I was pretty miserable to say the least. But at 3AM we finally made it and I was out as soon as my head hit the pillow!
We stayed with a couple that is on our team that lives in Dallas and had some awesome treats sitting out for us when we got there! Of course it was some of AdvoCare's best products. A journal for note taking, AdvoCare Blender Bottle, rehydrate gel, oasis, sleep works, SLAM, etc! :)
Friday morning before we headed to our first meeting we got about an hour of pool time. That was fun and unexpected!
First stop was the Fort Worth Convention Center for some training on some of AdvoCare's products straight from AdvoCare's Scientific and Medical Advisory Board. They have over 250 years combined experience in pharmacology, toxicology, nutrition, sports performance and pediatrics! It was so awesome to hear them talk about the ins and outs of some of the products.
Here's a picture of inside the convention center. That's a ton of cowboy hats!
Then we headed to the Dallas Cowboys Stadium. Wow. That is one massive building.
We made it! {All 3 of us ;)}
Here's a fun picture of some of our team. We found the AdvoCare photo booth. So fun! Bennett rocked the AdvoCare mustache!
We got great seats up high by the jumbotron. We have an awesome view of everything! And it was conveniently right by the bathrooms. :)

Friday night was the kick off party! I love being apart of a company that changes lives in two great ways; health and finances. We got to hear some incredible weight loss and income testimonies that AdvoCare has provided for so many families! I'm also thankful that Brandon and I get to be the ones to help share and change lives. It's no doubt that God blessed us with the opportunity for that very reason!
Saturday at Success School they announced new products AND we got our goodie bags! We got the new Impact Magazine and Success CD {with even more life changing stories} and samples of all the new products! I only got to try one that was safe for Bennett. It was awesome!

Drew Brees is the National Spokesperson for AdvoCare and has been for some time now. He has now partnered with AdvoCare to come out with his own line of products, called DB9. That's exciting news!
Walter Bond was the key note speaker. He had me laughing and crying all during the same message. He was awesome!
After school that day we went to dinner. We ate at two awesome Mexican restaurants. Guess that's the thing down in Texas, huh?
Sunday morning we went early for the worship service with Michael W. Smith. It was just as great as it was last year! So awesome that we got to go to church in the Dallas Cowboys stadium!
Sad to be leaving. We had such an awesome time!
10 hours and 22 minutes on the road 720 miles there and back. The trip home wasn't as bad. It seemed to go a lot faster then the ride there!
Bennett hanging out in the car ride! Home sweet home we go.
For all the goodies that my pregnancy brain missed out on, here's a video of the highlight of the weekend that AdvoCare put together. Check it out!
