Christie, I am so glad you got in to a size 14 pair of pants. Had my own wow moment yesterday when I tried on a pair of size 12 shorts and they fit with room to spare. Who would have thunk it?
I'm so jealous but so glad you all had a great time!!

I really hope they come to Indy next year because I think we could really show them how to throw a convention. I'd love to volunteer too.
We went to see Gail and Sherri tonight and both are doing pretty good. Will be at least another day or two in the hospital for Gail and maybe several more days for Sherri. Gaill is quite sore but she is getting up and moving around on her own so things are looking up. I know Sherri has been posting so she can tell you what's up with her. She actually came to visit Gail while we were there so at least she's up moving too. She's looking good but just has those darn internal problems to solve. Hopefully soon so she can go home to recuperate.
Hope to see everyone again this Saturday at my house.
Love to all,
Brenda

All the speakers were fantastic and I learned soo much.
I was asked to be in the Fashion Show Saturday night before our dancing?? party so I was excited and nervous about being on the "Catwalk." I wore my size 6 Leather pants and pretty black halter style top with silver sparklies on it. And with my black boots I was kickin it along with the rest of you on the dance floor but couldn't keep up with Tracy!!!

Tracy (Antoniette DH) was taking lots of pictures all evening. Heaven forbid when they are posted.
I ate lots and lots of fresh pineapple while there that gave me gas. The grilled shrimp we had at Friday's meet and greet made me sick. It was marinated in something kinda hot and spicy but other than that, the food was wonderful. I just had a little bite of SF cookies but I liked those coconut drops with the SF chocolate on them. I was loading up on the pineapple & strawberries.
Hoping we can get the next event in Indy.
I met several people from different states and even a gal from GA that had her VBGB by Dr. Kadarebek in 2002. Its a small world.

Shanna thank you so much for doing all of the driving. I know that couldn't have been easy with the way you were feeling.
Tracy you truly are a Dancing Queen. You crack me up!
Christie I want to thank you so much for the conversation that we all had on the way home. You have inspired me to further my education. I have decided to enroll in CHARM SCHOOL. I feel that I will definately make more new friends and quite possibly be able to keep the ones that I already have.
For those of you that couldn't attend, I so look forward to getting to know you better. Jana
Antonette and Tracy(Ant. husband)...It was so good to talk to both of you! I enjoyed sitting with you at the seminar. Antonette, you look amazing! So happy for you...and Tracy...excited for your upcoming surgery.
I myself HATED the beds at the hotel. My body is so stiff from them that I can't move right. Damn beds! They looked great but were less comfortable then the air mattress we use when camping. GRRRR....
I thought the SF cookies were good. However, I would like to request bottled water at the next event. It's had to use my crystal light in real glasses.
