So, I attended a CAbi event for the first time ever yesterday, courtesy of my sister who is a consultant. It was a little mini banquet celebrating their 10 year anniversary, not one of the shopping/dress-up parties which I imagine would’ve been more fun. And while I’ve now determined it is just not my thing (and out of my budget), I did get to spend some quality time with a friend I hadn’t seen in awhile, and enjoy some good views out in Texas hill country.
