from the desk of tara hope…

this weekend the winters family took a private jet to louisville to meet up with 15,000 of our closest friends for a business conference.

thursday night before the conference started we had an anniversary party to celebrate my parents 30th year of business and 30 years of marriage! it was a black tie event and we had so much fun getting all gussied up! the night was full of tears, laughter, and laughing so hard we were crying. it is definitely one of my favorite nights ever!

me, kim and caitlyn started out the evening by getting our hair and makeup done:

mom and dad looking fancy- arent moms shoes fierce!?

the room was decorated so beautifully! i loved the candles hanging from the branches…

during dinner we mingled and checked out everyones dresses and how nice everyone looked…

then they had a special heritage celebration with old photos and videos from the past 30 years. it was so funny seeing my parents as 20-somethings! but it was also very cool to see how they’ve built their business up from nothing and become the leaders they are today.

after that emotional rollercoaster we took a few photos before heading over to the afterparty…

the afterparty! mom, talli and i danced from 12am-3am (aka the first song to the last song). we had so much fun, but i will tell you…i was sweating like you wouldnt believe, haha! i was worn out after all that groovin and shakin!

these next two are some of my most favorite pictures ever…

it was such a special night and weekend. im so proud of my parents and our business team!
