The past few days have been a whirlwind of packing, getting together Teacher Appreciation gifts because that's going on this week, organizing playdates for my kids, doing laundry, etc. etc. I'm really looking forward to the moment I sit down on that plane, pull out a book, and have four hours (YES, you heard that right! FOUR HOURS!) of uninterrupted "me" time. I can't wait! It's just getting to that point where I'm sitting on the plane all alone that is a bit stressful. :)
I also have some dear friends who live in Utah, so I'm looking forward to spending time with them. Thankfully, the hubby was 100% okay with me taking a couple extra days to see my friends. Only sad thing is that I will miss Mother's Day. The hubby and kids usually make it such a special day for me, so I hope I'm not feeling homesick by the time Sunday rolls around. Okay, now I'm rambling...
Well, wish me luck! Here's to a wonderful conference and new friendships!

ReplyDeleteI can't wait to meet you too, Kristin! The conference and gala are going to be a ton of fun!
ReplyDeleteHave wonderful time! And enjoy the "me"/plane time - make sure you bring some good stuff to read. :)
ReplyDeleteYou'll have an amazing time. I bet your family makes up Mother's Day when you come home.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds so exciting! Have a lovely time! Mother's Day can be celebrated any day. You'll have something extra-special to look forward to when you get back.
ReplyDeleteYou're going to have a blast and I'm insanely jealous. I keep hoping that one day I'll be able to plan a trip so I'm there for Storymakers, but it hasn't happened yet. *sigh* Too much life happening here. Have an amazing time!
ReplyDeleteYou deserve every bit of that me time! I was super nervous flying when we went to New Orleans last year, so glad I had Nicholas w/me to be nervous with. But you'll be absolutely fine, I know it! But I'll say some 'all is well' prayers for you. =)
ReplyDeleteYay! Can't wait to see you too! And this weekend is going to be EPIC! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are going to have so much fun hanging out with those people!
ReplyDeleteYou'll love the conference! Kiah and I planned on being there, but oh well. You'll have to say hi to everyone for me. Also, if you get a chance, meet Traci Hunter Abramson and the Fergusons. They are awesome! So is Lisa Magnum, Janette Ralliston, Elana Johnson, Heather Justesen, and Julie Ford. I always look forward to seeing these ladies at each Midwest conference. Most of them, if not all, should be in Utah this week as well. Have fun for me!
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the conference. They'll just have to "do" Mother's Day for you when you get back.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the conference! And your four hours of uninterrupted me time. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, how exciting! Hope you have fun at the conference! That's a shame how you'll be missing Mother's Day as a result, but I'm sure they'll find a way to celebrate it once you return!
ReplyDeleteHave an amazing time, Kristin!!! You're going to have a blast :D
ReplyDelete(BTW, I've been MIA and just saw your cover and OMG I love it!!! Congrats on the upcoming release. Very exciting!!!)
Hope you have a wonderful time! Sounds like it'll be an experience!
ReplyDeleteYAY! Have fun. Hope you have a great trip.
ReplyDeleteI hope the trip went well, and I hope you had fun at the conference!
