March went by fast than I expected! You know what they say, busy people, stay busy!
Blog Name: "Hey Bonnell"
First, I want to share with you why we named our blog address heybonnell.blogspot.com. It's a really funny story actually. I can't recall how old our niece Ansley was (I'm guessing about 5), she was trying to get her Grandpa Bonnell's attention to tell him something. Since she doesn't get to see him often, she forgot how to address him. So she said, "Hey Bonnell!"
Ha ha ha. It's been a great joke between Jeremy and I...especially since he has a brother-in-law with the same name. Gotta love Ansley, she cracks me up!
Debbie's Wedding
I've known Debbie for about 13 years now! She was one of my bridesmaids, so to no surprise, I was one of hers. She got married on March 18th. Her and her husband Kris got married at Aspen Landing Reception Center. I was able to snap some pics here and there, she looked amazing.
I have to admit that I'm very proud of the bridesmaid's rose bouquets that I made. I'm not sure why it decided that bouquets were not made for the bridesmaids. It didn't seem to stand out to me until we did the rehearsal. I just couldn't shake the awkwardness of not having anything in my hands as we had to walk down the isle by ourselves (no groomsmen). You know me, I decided to try it out. They turned out better than I expected. Debbie is now a happy wife and is looking forward to her future. Congrats you two!
The happy couple! Mr. & Mrs. Kristian Rickard.

Mary Kay Career Conference 2010
Everyone who really knows me, knows how much I love being a Mary Kay consultant. I wish I could apologize for me gushing about this amazing company, but I can't. It means that much to me. This year was no exception to me being "wowed" by what this company does for others, especially our sales force. This year, our unit got to walk across the stage as a "Cadillac Driving Unit"!!! Yes, my director will be getting brand spankin' new pink Cadillac in a couple of months! I can't wait to see it, we all worked so hard. My director, Shari Kendall, is absolutely amazing and is a wonderful example to all of our consultants.
Even Yvette Franco, U.S. Vice President of Marketing came to SLC!! I was able to earn a special reception to go to for being a star consultant. She was so great about sharing facts about our company and about the products. The main thing that I loved about her, was that she was genuine. I'm sure as one of the VP of Mary Kay, she could totally be a snob...but not w/a company like MK. I'm honestly proud that our company is lead by amazing people and also the fact that they give back most of their profits back to the sales force, research for our products and to charity!
My dreams of becoming a free car driver was awakened in me! Why can't I drive free?! It's up to me. I love that we wouldn't have to pay for another vehicle since payments are the pits. I had a wonderful time and I can't wait for seminar in Dallas, TX in July!
My closest MK girlfriends!
