Trip Update

I had an amazing trip to North Carolina.


I learned sooooo much and am really excited to share some of the things I learned at the conference. We were running all day and evenings while I was there. I came home and crashed for two days. I was soooo exhausted. The place we stayed was absolutely amazing. The conference was sooo good. I had to walk out at one point and take a breath of fresh air the information was just pooring from the room. Maybe it is because I haven't attended one of these kinds of meetings before that I felt so lucky to be there that I just was overwelmed by all of the info. It may have been the chance to meet such amazing people. I really don't know how to explain the intensity of the room. We had 75 leaders of mainly non-profit organizations from different diseases and disorder groups in one room. I felt a little intimidated by all the amazing people that were there. I know I have done a lot of work with the association but I didn't have to create organizations from nothing. We had a failed organization that we reworked but we had a base. Some of these amazing people had nothing but a good idea to help people with different diseases and so they did. I am so in awe.

My family missed me. I was roaming on my cell phone so I wasn't able to talk with them much. Erik did well while I was gone but I heard from everyone how much he missed me. It was really nice to know that I was missed.
