Ok, I'm getting worried! I've gotten a confirmation letter for conference, but I haven't gotten any other matierial...am I supposed to?
 
Erin:

You have everything you need for now! Once the registration booths open in Chicago, you'll be able to pick up your complete conference packet at McCormick Place (there will be signs to show you where to go once you arrive there). Bring your letter, just in case they need to verify anything.

What wave are you in?? I'm in Wave 3.

Awesome, thanks :) I'm in #2. I was getting so worried that I was missing something! I'm the plan ahead type, and I wished I knew more of the schedule!
 
Erin:

If you don't already have it, go to CC and print out the Agenda Overview, so you have a good idea of what to expect when you get to Chicago. Your packet will provide the details of YOUR itinerary, with all of your workshops, etc.

I know it's in reference to the hubby, but DH? Dear Hubby? Darling Hubby? Dumb? Doating? Help me here :)

Child? Children? I haven't seen that one before...
 
Okay... I don't know where this started but I know where I learned it...

DH = Dear Husband
DS = Dear Son
DD = Dear Daughter
DC = Dear Children

There is a website called Flylady.com and she uses these "codes" when talking about your family. I doubt it started there, but that's where I've seen them. It probably started with instant messaging and text messaging.

HTH :D
