Dynamic Church 2009

About a week ago, the company I work for put on their annual conference in Frisco, TX for 3 days. Since we make church management software, this was a user conference attended by churches that are on our software and want to get better at it and learn new techniques and what features are going to be released in the coming year (basically a LOT of 'techy talk').

It was held at the Frisco Conference Center/Embassy Suites, which is about 45 miles north of my house (yucky drive through lots of trafficky areas). So at the last minute, I got a call from Tammy in HR and she said that she had an extra hotel room if I wanted it. I had to figure out how to get Maggie to Mayce's and then up to Frisco in a matter of a few hours, but I did it. Man, was it nice not to have to drive back and forth from Frisco to Arlington and vice versa!

The hotel was really nice and had a beautiful view in the center courtyard (I just love staying in pretty hotels)......Here's a shot after one of the lunches - people chatting before going back into their sessions:

Here's my friend/co-worker Judy and I, at our registration table for Hands-On Training Labs:

And the highlight of the whole conference for me: I saw a waffle shaped like the state of Texas!

It was a great conference and everyone did a nice job - but I was glad to be back home with my Maggie!
