Who is super :D excited about NC this year???? I know I am so excited this will be my very first NC!!!:thumbup:

Who all are in wave 1? Let's see how many of us Chef Success people will be in wave 1. Do the Cool ones go first:cool:????

Wave 1; we will be the very first ones with the new information. We may have to keep quiet about all the new items, but we will know first:D!!! Not to mention hopefully we will have the best looks with Merrill (if there is a best look with Merrill).
 
I am so excited to go! So do you think I should hold off on buying from Merrill until I can try things on at Conference? I've been wanting to get some logowear for quite some time now.

From the sounds of people posting we probably should try things on before we buy.
 
I'm Wave 1. Hopefully my financial picture will be a little better by July so I can afford airfare and hotel stay, but at least I have conference club already covering my registration. :) Can't wait to meet some Cheffers!!!

NC is in three different waves. July 9-11 is wave 1, July 13-15 is wave 2, and July 16-18 is wave 3. Your director can tell you which wave you are.
 
I'm wave 1!!!! I'm ubber excited! I just found out with my promotion at work in the last few months that I am entitled to a stipend from the state for about $500 and it should be here in about 2 months! That means I'll have money to cover NC! I'm fairly local, within 3 hours of HO, so I will be driving up with my cluster. I'll just have to do hotel and food and fun stuff! I'm sooooo excited right now. Lets just hope things stay good for us and that $500 won't be needed elsewhere!

I'll be praying for you Andrea. I know how hard it can be to scrap up extra money sometimes.
 
Thank! I'm feeling really good about things right now! I'm certain things will work out, especially with so much time left to save for it.
 
shoot!!!! Now that I'm thinking about it, waaaahhhhhh, I think I booked classes for work the same time... grrrrrr.... gonna have to go check my calendar at work now. I may still have time to reschedule the classes without penalty, crap and I thought my luck was getting better. LOL

OMG I just checked the class schedule online and I did double book myself, and worst part is, that is the one class this year that I can not get out of.

I have some very bad words flying through my head right now! OY! My classes are in Rockford, not too far from HO, but I start the classe on the 8th and won't be done til noon on the 10th. I'll see if I can't figure something out. This same class if offered later in the year, but I'll have to do some major juggling.
 
I'm wave one also... haven't decided if I'm going or not. I think it would be a lot of fun but I'm more of a hobbiest and that is a LOT of money to spend on a hobby. We'll see how things are going a lil closer.
 
Hi Ladies, I will be there, Wahoo! It looks like we will have some newbies.Jolene are you going to the training on Feb 4th in Roseville?? I will be there w/ my cluster buddies!
 
I am in Wave 1 this year!! I am planning on attending!! I have my conference club waiting!!!
 
wave 1 for me:)
 
I'm supposed to be wave 3 this year, but I won't be able to go, as I will be starting a nursing program this summer. I'm really disappointed to miss Conference, though ... I had a great time last year!
 
I'll be there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have conference club going and I'll just have to start saving my pennies for the rest. Of course once I get back from conference I have to pack up the house and move cross country! lol ;)

Amanda- I wish I could make it to Roseville on the 4th but not with two in school and a husband who is in school all day. I'd have to hire a babysitter/driver and thats not going to happen! lol Plus its 3 1/2 hrs north of Monterey so its a no go!:cry: HO needs to realize lots of us are parents and others work so why not a weekend!?!?!?!??!?!
 
Wave 1 for me! Yeah!

See you on Feb 4 in Roseville Amanda!
 
I would have been Wave 1, but instead I will be at home, with only 1-2 weeks before the arrival of my third child. I am sooooooooooooooooooo disappointed that I won't be able to attend conference this year (and see all of my cheffer friends), but of course, I look forward to adding to my family!
 
looks like i can't get out of the class for work, maybe 2010 I'll be able to go!
 
I'm wave 1!!! Can't wait until July!!!!
 
I'll be there for Wave 1 too.

I'm already starting to watch the flight prices.
 
I'll be there also.... Hopefully walking across stage!!!!!!
 
wave 1 CAN NOT WAIT!!
 
Wave 1 with our team, Morfia and Karynne I cannot wait! I am picking my business up hopefully and I will get there!!
 
I'll be there too! I've got to step up my schedule to get the $$!! Looks like a lot of familiar faces and some new ones too. FUN!!
: ) Anybody started a countdown?
 
I"ll be there. I can't wait!!
