In just a few short weeks I’m headed to Indiana for the Influence Conference. Y’all I’m so excited for this conference!! If you haven’t bought your ticket yet, please do, you won’t regret it. Plus, I’d love to meet you and you know you want to meet me! Right? hehe Today I’m linking up with the ladies over at Influence for a littel pre meet up link up! woop!
So we were asked to write about
- 3 get-to-know-you things
- 2 things you’re looking forward to about the conference
- 1 thing you cannot leave home without
Yikes, don’t they know I’m a talker? Sheesh!
3 Get -to-know-you things about me… hmmm
#1 I’m so NOT a morning person
Yup, often times I set my alarm every 15 minutes or so and if I have to get out of bed early I justify every last thing I can “live without” doing to get out the door on time. I just love my sleep! And it really doesn’t matter what time I go to bed, I’m not a sun comes us, rooster crows and I’m singing rainbows kind of girl. I’m more the I may blink and stare at you then roll over till I smell a wiff of coffee and know it’s time to roll out of bed kind of girl.
#2 I love meeting new people
For those of you who hang around here a little, you know I’m all about community. I love meeting up. hanging out, spending time. In fact I’ve met quite a few of my closest friends through the blogging community. I’ll party till 4 in the morning getting to know new people. Sorry, Ash, I’m turning our room into the party room!
#3 I crave Mexican food often
Nuff said there. I mean who doesn’t like a Chipotle Burrito bowl or a Cafe Rio chicken tostada, come on now. Quickest way to my heart? Take this girl out for mexican food and a strawberry margarita with sugar on the rim!
2 Things I’m Looking Forward to About the Conference:
Hmmm, one thing I’m really looking forward to is the Stripes Party! I love me some stripes and I love me a party! It’s like speaking two of my love languages at once.
The second things I’m looking forward to is hang time with my Influence Conf roomies, Ashlee, Natalie and Carrie and seeing my sweet friends Jenna and Lindsay. I’m a huge hugger so I’ll be hugging this sweet friend and anyone else who loves hugs too!
1 Thing I can’t Leave Home without:
My iPhone and my camera. ok that’s two things, but hey, a girls gotta have all her picture taking toys with her.
Are you headed to Influence Conference? I’d love to meet you! Oh and here’s what I look like so you can find me
See you soon!

Hi Alissa! I just linked up with the pre-conference meet and greet and you were the one right before mine :-). I’m so excited for this conference but also way nervous because I know no one going; I just knew I had to go once I came across it online. I’m ready to meet all of you and have a great time with other like-minded, women of God! Looking forward to meeting you in person :-).
Michaela says
First of all I love your blog name! Sooo creative. It’s going to be amazing to meet all of these creative women of God all in one place. Looking forward to meeting you!
Erin @ Blue-Eyed Bride says
Hey Alissa,
I’m so excited to meet you there! I love your blog! You’re just so cute and creative! It’s going to be so much fun for so many women of God to be together in one place– and encouraging each other. Yay!
Trina {Beginner Beans} says

annie says
Alissa, we are going to be friends. I am definitely not a morning person and I could stay up till 4am with people any day of the week! I am so joining you in the party room!
monique says
we must get together sometime…i know we would have a great time…i am most definately not a morning person…i hit snooze atleast 3 times before i finally roll out of bed. i am very shy, but i love meeting new–an oxymoron i know. and seeing that i’m part mexican, i love cooking mexican food and eating it too, of course.
oh wow i wish i was going to the influence conference! maybe next year!
Mary says
So looking forward to meeting you I love your blog!
Elise says
I wish I knew about the conference sooner! I live in Indianapolis. If you need any restaurant suggestions, let me know! 🙂
Courtney says
LOVE that because of this meet & greet I get some new eye candy to browse. i’ll be strolling through for awhile so don’t mind me.
can’t wait to meet you at the conference. and hopefully there will be some Mexican treats to devour!
Natalie @ NS Pottery says
Haha, YAAAAY!!! So excited!!!! Though you sound a little wild for me 😉 Am I not going to get any sleep?
Amanda {at} Royal Daughter Designs says
Oh we so could have been room mates. I am NOT a morning person. My parents used to tell me that in the mornings I needed to be “Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.” (I don’t know what that means.) But several years ago David told me he’s happy as long as I’m “moody and moving.” Emphasis on moving…. *wink*
I can’t wait to see you!! YAY!
mandy @ this girl's life says
Oh how I would LOVE to be at this conference…I only live an hour from Indy. It just isn’t in our budget right now though. I’ll make it to one some day! It sounds like it is going to be a blast!
Chelsea says
You are adorable! See you in October. 🙂
Amber says
#1 – Not a morning person either, hoo hoo (night owl) – yay!
#2 – love new peeps – yay!
#3 – Tortillas should be a utensil – yay!
Ok, that’s settled. We should be friends.
Holly says
I love your cute blog and nominated you for a bloggie award on my latest post at http://www.hlewy.blogspot.com!
Dorian Sibray says
Mornings suck. I have a 19 month old who loves morning…. hoping the new boy who will be at influence with me also hates mornings.
Mexican food. Yum. I could eat 5 baskets of chips in a row with equal amounts salsa!
Can’t wait to see you around!!!
brittany says
I love Mexican food AND hugs. I knew I liked you :).
Karina Elizabeth says
Hi Alissa,
Look forward to meeting you at Influence. I have loved your 5 Knows series and can’t wait to learn more about your adventures in growing your agency.
Nicole says
I’m not a morning person at all. I’m a little nervous that I’m going to want to sleep in just because I haven’t been able to in over a year (and I won’t have a kiddo to wake me up early)! Can’t wait to hug you friend!!
Bri Carlisle says
Hi Alissa!
Love your blog and shop and excited to meet you next month! Fyi, I could literally live on guacamole and tostitos. 😉 ~Bri~
Chelsea says
Haha I’m not a morning person either! I’m so glad they kinda planned for that in the schedule. And have unlimited coffee.
Kim @LucyJane says
Can’t wait to meet you at Influence! Can I come to your party? 😉
