We're home safe and sound

What a long drive but we made it safely and I'm whooped.  Of course Mr Clay and I are the WORST at stopping every time we see something interesting.  We had to stop at both Buc-ees and Woody's plus 3 other times.

I want to take a minute to thank everyone involved with organizing this event.  The location was spectacular so THANK YOU for changing the venue to Galveston cuz I never would of had the opportunity to stay at such a lovely place if it hadn't been for the conference.  Sunburn aside, it was perfect.

I especially loved hearing from Mary Jo and Austin, what wonderful presentations they gave.  Also a big thank you to Dr L for subsidizing the whole event.  Terry Ann thanks so much for organizing the dinner, I know it wasn't easy to pull that off.

For those of you that couldn't make it, please plan to attend next year.  It was such an incredible time of learning and sharing with "friends and family".  (And YES, you were sorely missed!!!)

Yvonne, Debra, Ramon, Sean once again you did a fantastic job so bask in the glow and get some rest.  We REALLY appreciate all you do for this group we call "family".

Ok so unwhoop yourself and upload your pictures.  I MUST live through all of the pics and I'm impatiently waiting, darn it, lmao.  Glad you had fun Steph, and y'all made it home safely.

One question though.....how did you get home if you passed Buc-ees?  Is there a new location headed north?

Yup there's a BRAND NEW Buc-ees location in Madisonville.  It just opened this weekend-free samples galore and cheap gas ($1.99 compared to 2.19 everywhere else).  We had to buy Buc-ees nuggets and fudge (hmm, where's the protein?).  Did stop at Woody's for the jerky though.  Clay swears theirs is better.  Sure did miss you.  I was one of those yelling at you through Liz' phone at lunch yesterday.

You know that I am the camera queen BUT I failed this time around.  I was just having too much fun and only took a few.  Kathy Bender was snapping pics every chance she got so hopefully she got some good ones.
