My living room looks like 100 Bariatric patients live here LOL . I can not tell you what it has meant to me to work with David on this . He has put in many long hours to bring you all this Fantabulous weekend . I can say that I am so glad that OH canceled the Hampton conference . If they had not .. this weekend may not be going on . David and I would like to thank you all for your OUTSTANDING participation . I am floored as to how many of you are coming . And we also have people that are attending from out of state .. How cool is that ! For those arriving early tommorow , I will be at the hotel @ 1 or so .

I look forward to meeting you all .. and to the ones I do know and have met before .. It will be like old times again . We are all definatly family .. !!!

Well I am outa here .. to finish packing and loading up my car . I so look forward to this weekend .. Again .. Thank you ! Nat

Natalie!!!!! Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...so sweet! It has been a joy working with you too - I feel like we went through our whole journey together - so this is so natural to be spending time with you doing something we are so passionate about. We have had a few windows shut through the planning stages- but we are so fortunate that every window shut opened a door! The vendors have been so great and responsive, and our Virginia Family has really come through!!! Let's show our out of state family how awesome VA is! Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow..oh wait- it IS tomorrow! I better grab a few hours of sleep NOW! David

Natalie, Dave Thank you so much for all your efforts and time putting this together!! Jen and I are really looking forward to a fun weekend away. It was fun to go shopping with Jen for a new dress...size 12! We are bringing adult beverages (beer and Liquor) to share with every one at the hospitality room. We will depart DC area @ 2pm, and have room for passengers. We're picking up Sharon in Fburg on the way, so if anyone else needs a lift, give a shout. Cell--571-220-5976 Kelly G.
