Some excitement in the air.....

It's is getting closer and closer for Thirty-One's National Conference and this will be my first year to get to go.

The excitement is building as we chatter on Facebook about our schedules, our clothes, our hotels. I think the one speaker everyone is looking forward to hearing the most is Leigh Anne Tuohy. Leigh Anne's inspirational story was the basis for the movie The Blind Side.

My Director sent us all a little gift she had made especially for conference. I got mine Thursday. I just love it. 

The most repeated comment from past conference goers is WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES. After weeks and weeks of research, taking polls and asking everybody I know, I have come to the conclusion the most comfortable shoe is going to be Skecher's Go Walk. I went the last couple of weeks and tried on some different shoes besides Skechers and I must admit I think either Skecher's Go Walks or something in Skechers new Memory Foam line is going to be what I get. I am heading out today to buy a pair. Here are some of the ones I have liked.

My daughter tells me that I need to get away from so much "bright white" on my tennis shoes. I'm just so old fashioned when it comes to tennis shoes. But call me crazy, I kinda sorta like these in the gray.

But many people have recommended the slip on Go Walks. I'm just not sure how they will look on my little size 5 1/2 feet. 

Then again, I might just go plumb crazy and get something with a pop of color.

Who knows what I'll end up with. But since I am going to the Skecher outlet and I have a 20% off coupon and time is running out, TODAY is the day I will finally decide.
