alt summit dreams

i am pretty new to this blogging world.
but i have decided that the key to my blogging success always directs back to one person.
j j j jonboy.
my husband, our mastermind entrepreneur + tickle king.
being married to an entrepreneur is the greatest thing that’s ever happened to my blog.
jonboy is a self taught photoshop guru,
and he has patiently + willingly taught me everything that i know.
he seems to know exactly when i need a little confidence boost
and pushes me to try new things. h a r d things!

i wish that i would have studied graphic design.
until lately, i didn’t realize how much i love it.
it’s much harder it than it looks. he’s bought me books and signed me up for classes.
i know for fact that i couldn’t do it without him.

when jon and i first started dating almost 5 years ago, i had heard the word entrepreneur many a time.
(couldn’t spell it for me life) but i knew it was someone who started their own business.
little did he know, i didn’t really get it.
i pretended to understand whatever he was talking about.
and it obviously worked because he still thinks i am way smarter than i really am with business.

i feel like there’s this secret magnificent world filled with tons of driven, creative,
hard working minds that are all doing the same thing – following their business dreams.
after being married now for a couple of years i can honestly say that i get it.
i get it, and i’m happy to be part of it.
someday, lets create a utah entrepreneur wives play group. that’ll be the day!
i find myself dabbling in my own business ideas.
one day i hope to gather up all my brave cells and just go for it.
i made + sold leather fanny packs at a big trade show once and it scared the crap out of me.
i enjoy creating, but selling myself and selling my products – – not so much.
i adore bloggers who have the drive to do so.
i’m sure most of you have heard of Alt Summit.
it’s good stuff. stuff that i could use help with, and enjoy learning about.
for blogging inspiration and business advice check out their new blog.

just be prepared to swoon your eyes out.

i have seen the most darling photos from bloggers + photographers
+ the most stylist ladies on earth that go to it.
all of these peeps at the same place at the same time? wowza. talk about changing the world.
i remember earlier this year telling jonboy that one day i’m going to speak at it.
while he was designing jonah’s birthday invitation the other night he brought it up
and told me i could get a ticket for christmas if i really wanted to go.
as an attendee not a speaker of course.
oh happy day, right?
wrong!
tickets have been sold out for who knows how long.
whomp whomp whomp. shattered dreams, people. shattered dreams.
i follow @altsummit on instagram.
and recently discovered that they are giving away a 1 free ticket.
please oh please oh please bless that i will win it.
my fingers are crossed. my toes are crossed.
and i don’t know if he will admit it but jon’s got his crossies on under the table as well.

one time in high school i won a drawing to kick a 20 yard field goal
at half time of the football game and actually made it.
took home a hundred bucks, and bragging rights for the rest of my life.

i don’t ususally win things, but we’ll see how this goes.

  4. emi- i read your comment to jon. he thinks i’m silly, but seriously… your words made my day. and he’s ready for a wicked double date when you guys come up next. i know we were soul sistas before you moved to cali, i just know it.

    // 3 cheers for awesome husbands who got it goin on!

  5. !!! ging! big dreams. ah. go for it, girl! save me a free ticket when you’re a speaker…? 😉
    i think it’s so incredible that you and jon are such go-getters–for real! i just love it. i have every possible appendage crossed for you. 🙂

    and seriously..?? you kicked a 20 yard field goal?! HECK YEAH! i would use that every time i introduced myself. “hi, this is jon, this is jonah, and i’m ginger. i kicked a 20 yard field goal out of nowhere. like a boss. *handshake* nice to meet you.”

  6. kelli – you win a hundred bucks for the best comment ever written. i love you! you made me lol – and i hate that word. there is no other way to put it.

    if i introduce myself that way, you must come back with “hi this is jordan, i’m kelli, and if you have a blog i’ll leave comments that will have you rolling for days. like a boss.”

    i love you.
    happy birthday week to my sweetest friend!
    wooohoooo
