"One thing I like about stones in my path, is that when I cross them they become my milestones"

Just two days to go! The kids found their Mickey Mouse ears and are getting ready for the long ride. They've picked out some books and a few small games, but why is it when you really need to get something done, little obstacles seem to strew your path?

Our older daughter is completely packed and ready to go. Bless her little soul, I wish I were, too! Tonight is finding clothes and packing night for the other 3 kids. Then I just have to pack for me, and we'll be ready for our trip to National.

It sounds so official.... "National". It's like you've always loved chocolate, but finally get to visit the world headquarters of Girardelli. As much as you love chocolate, there's something awe inspiring about being where things begin.

We're hoping for a new beginning like that at National Conference. It's like we've been tripping along on the little stones in our path, but now we're making the big effort of planning for, and going to, National Conference, where it all comes together.

Wow. What a great milestone.
