Vickie....if you ever get the chance to go to the RYD Conference...it is so amazing !!!! If my son's prom was not this coming weekend I would so be there !!!! I love to help greet and help Sean out with the clothing exchange. SO much fun and all the encouragement that you get from the speakers....it is just amazing !!!! Debra, Ramon and Yvonne are 3 of my all time favorite people in the entire world. So upbeat and so encourgeing and supportive !!!! I hate that I am going to miss out on the fun in Galveston...but my son will only have one senior prom and with him being my baby there is no way I wasn't going to be here for him for my own selfish desires !!! Love ya girl !!!
