I made it! I flew out Friday morning to Spokane with the fabulous Miss Tara. My nerves were slightly overwhelming during the first thirty minutes or so of the first flight, but Tara talked me through most of it. I also took my sisters DVD player along to distract me while flying. All in all, not too bad, but if you ask me to fly again anytime soon… I might say no!! :o)
We arrived about 1pm in Washington and met up with Kasey, Jeanne, Jackie, Amy, and Jen. We had lunch, talked for awhile and then had dinner and drinks later that night. It was such fun to be surrounded by women who all share my interests and truly are friendly genuine people.
On Saturday we had an early breakfast together and then headed to the Farm Chicks show! I was able to meet tons of my blogging friends, and get to put faces to the blog address I know them as. :o) Including Kimberly, Lissa, Melaine, Teresa, Deb, Isabel, Lisa, Gladys, Rebekah, Brooke, Cindy, Kayla, Beth, and probably some others that I am forgetting!!! I also bought quite a few treasures (I had to buy another bag to bring them home in!) Then it was on to the Barn House & Tarte after party at Chaps. (Which was so cool, and really fun!)
Then Sunday we spent half the day flying home again… I was so happy to touch the ground on the final flight! (Those who know me on facebook, and on twitter were laughing at all my stress-filled updates!).
I had an amazing time, and am so happy I went. I’ll have to remember how worth it flying was next time I get invited someplace like this! (Something tells me I won’t remember).
P.S. Ok, don’t be mad… but I didn’t take my camera along…. I only have a LARGE camera that wouldn’t have been fun to lug around (and would have taken up valuable shopping space). But I plan to take photos of my purchases to show you all very soon. I just need to play catch up from being gone for three days. (I took Thursday off too, to work my family’s estate sale).
Head over to the blogs of the gals I mentioned above, who ALL had cameras. :o)
