I got a surprise visit from the dream patrol at my meeting yesterday!!!! I was in total and complete shock!!!

I had been rushing all day and when I got to my mom's house (I hold my meeting there because her kitchen, dining room and living room are all linked and open so she has lots of space) most of my girls were already there. My Director was on her way, she said she wanted to meet all of my new recruits. I started my meeting with recognition, then moved on to training and we were about to start the cooking portion when all of a sudden the door opens up and in walks Jean Jonas, Al Fournier and Valerie Muzquiz along with a camera crew and photographer. I was floored, speachless and all I could do was hold my hand in front of my wide-open mouth!!!

I had joked with my Director about how Jean Jonas would never come to the "hood". :) When I saw that the highest recruiter had recruited 10, I knew I didn't make dream patrol. I didn't care I was surprised I recruited that many myself and was just happy with that. They announced that they were there because I was #1 in the Hispanic Market. (whooohoooo!!) It was a truely amazing night. Everyone there was so pumped with Jean's energy, most of my team was interviewed. Someone called my husband so he showed up in a suit and tie (when he was wearing bb shorts before!) It was just amazing. :bugeye:

I had goosebumps on top of goosebumps! :) It would have been nice to know though, I would have plucked my eyebrows and combed my hair. :rolleyes: Jean said the pictures would appear in the December issue. Most likely the Spanish version though.
