Well, it’s the night before we reveal the trip to the kids.  I have all of my things packed, the kids’ bags are packed and I have one more full day of work.  I have to teach a class and will have a very early morning.  Then after class I have to rush home, get the family in the car and drive up to the airport.

So after the stress of packing and over packing, I really think I have everything I need and much much more. I received a gift from the team earlier this week.  And last Friday we were surprised with an Facebook post from Maria and her team about another treat they are providing to us.  If that’s all happening BEFORE the celebration even begins I can’t imagine what is going to happen at the event!

I started to feel pretty nervous earlier this week.  I had some big projects to get done for work and was waiting to hear how I made out with them.  This afternoon I had a meeting about it and everything is on track and looking great!  That was a huge relief for me.

Tonight Leanne O’Reagan posted a picture of the conference hall set up and it really struck me as being so real!  I am actually going to attend this event!  I was chosen out of thousands of people to attend with 150 other bloggers.  Wow!!!  I still can’t believe it is happening for me!  I never thought that I had anything special to contribute or any influence; but apparently they think I am special!  It makes me feel so honored to be chosen to be with this group and to know that my hard work pays off.  I also want to use this as a lesson for my kids to know the rewards of your hard work.  And to know that your Dreams Can Come True!

I’ll be sure to post updates as the weekend goes on and my travels towards this adventure go on.
