Jas has been incredibly encouraging about me going, despite the cost and the fact that it may take away from our vacation time together... I'm very fortunate that he's been supporting me in my effort in the last two years to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. This conference is one small step towards doing the things I want to do as opposed to baking in a cubicle all day.
I'm excited to see what God has in store for me at the conference....
As a side note, one of my favorite verses in the Bible is from Proverbs 31. I wrote it on a post-it when I first started my job a year ago to give me perspective through the difficult days:
"She is clothed in strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come." - Proverbs 31:25

I'm happy that your are pursuing your dream. I'm very proud of you. Keep up the good work and don't forget to laugh daily. I read this week - the average child laughs 330-400 times a day, while the average adult only laughs 15 times a day. So piture to two of us on our motorcycles in a driving rain storm - soaked to the bone and smiling while dolting family looks on and takes our picture. Sounds very funny now. So have a smile/laugh on us at SIUE in Spring time!
Yes its great you're exploring. Life is too short to settle. I'll pray for dream. I'll also shoot ideas your way!
Thanks for your encouragement, everyone. I contacted a potential roomie for the conference and I'm just trusting God to make it all happen. Love you guys lots!
