Conference continued!

Posted in Ramblings

The FIAR conference was great. I had a lot of panic attacks, but don't want to dwell on that here. I appreciate the prayers, everyone, and special thanks to those ladies who spent so long in the prayer room with me ... Barb, Kendall, Cindy, and Rebecca.

 

The theme was "Home is where your story begins" and the first event was a gift ... we all received a gorgeous journal to take notes and ponder thoughts in throughout the conference. Each 'chapter' of the conference had a great theme ... thinking about your Setting, your Characters, unexpexted Plot Twists, and so on. Wonderful way to tie everything together! Lysle and I have enjoyed comparing notes and insights on some of the questions. Lots of notes have been posted over at the "Conference" forum on www.fiveinarow.com, so go take a look!

 

It was also so wonderful to get to meet everyone there, message board users and staff and the Lamberts themselves, plus Amanda Bennett! So nice to have faces to put to names of online friends.

 

This is a really inadequate blog entry, but I am still processing the whole weekend!

 

Sunday Lysle and I headed for home, and did the whole twelve hours in one day. We were tired but happy to be home. Monday morning we went to pick up our sweeties, and we all just relaxed for the rest of the day.
