I don't think I'll even try to explain what happened tonight -- I'll save that for another time when I can do it justice. It was far beyond my expectations, also a lot different than I was expecting. If I were a serious blogger I would have been "live" blogging while listening to the opening talk like some of the other attendees, but I figured my vast audience wouldn't mind waiting for a wrap-up til later. :p I will tell you that I was praising God on the way home and am looking forward to the day and a half to come.

I have to get up at the crack of 6 tomorrow and drive back in -- and, yes, in my new life the crack of 6 is exceedingly early. Especially considering the lack of sleep last night due to a combination of excitement and Santa Ana winds rocking me in a none too gentle fashion. I had a couple windows open and a bazillion little tree pieces flew in thru the screens. Just now I was dangling Cali's rope and she got so static-y chasing it and rubbing in the carpet that she has the little pieces stuck all over her, as well as my Good Sam emergency roadside assistance card which had somehow found it's way to the floor. Sorry, it fell off before I could get a picture...
