Today I am up and packed!  After I finish at the office at 2 pm, I am coming back home and my friend Suzette is picking me up to head to St Paul for The Women of Faith Conference.  This will be my fourth year in a row attending and it is so much fun!  Great speakers, music and many of the speakers have books so I get to do a little book shopping as well!

This year I will be attending with 22 girls from our area.  I usually pick up a set of group tickets the previous year and then sell them to friends and acquaintances.  In 2007 and 2008 we had 36 girls each time, with the economy the tickets were a harder sell this year and so we have a smaller group.

Tonight we are in a hotel – hanging out, hot tubbing and hopefully I will sneak in some reading as well.  Tomorrow starts the conference and then it ends on Saturday at 4 pm and we head back this way.  Laptop and Coffee Cup will be attending as well so I will be active all weekend.

If you have ever wondered about Women of Faith conferences, I highly recommend them.  They travel all over (see map here) and it is just a light hearted, funny at times, and positively high energy weekend! Last year we were jumping up and down to Jodi C Mullen.This year we have Steven Curtis Chapman, “American Idol” finalist Mandisa, Nicole C. Mullen, Sandi Patty, Lisa Whelchel (from TV’s “The Facts of Life”), Sheila Walsh, Patsy Clairmont, Marilyn Meberg, Luci Swindoll, and more!

I will be around today and throughout the weekend.  I have reviews that must (must!) be posted!  Have a wonderful day!
