We are ready!

One week away to the conference at ASU! It's funny how all of a sudden it's UPON you. You feel like you have so much time, you are cruisin' along, and suddenly the calendar tells you it is next week.

The most important thing for us to do right now is to be very organized and get everything possible done this week. The handouts, the name badges, copies of evaluation forms, and so on. We (Gretchen and I) make lists daily, and check them off daily. Our goal is to have almost everything done by the end of this week. That way if "something happens' (you know, your computer crashes, someone breaks a leg, that fun stuff) we don't have to deal with the little stuff. (which is really big stuff, it's all big stuff now!)

Monday a few of the volunteers will come by to stuff goody bags and put the lanyards on the name badges. Tuesday Gretchen and I will get a massage! Yes. It's so crucial for us to keep calm and stay focused, and of course, you can not stay focused unless you stay calm. I've had my hair and nail appointment booked for over a week.

Gretchen and I keep getting more amazed when we look at the numbers. We have NEVER had 85 people in a lecture! We have never had to close a group ex workshop due to overcrowding. It's so exciting and we have to remember that although this causes a new set of issues, this was the goal and this is SO exciting! The presenters are gearing up for their fabulous presentations and ASU Recreation Complex is planning for the invasion.

We'll be LIVE so keep up with our BLOG.
