My husband just got notification of a spring-summer deployment to the desert.

At any rate, he'll be gone from May until September. My girls will be three and 18 months during conference, and there's no way I can make the trip to the states alone with them. It's about a 24 hour trip one way, which is hard enough to do it as an adult!! And, they are way too young to leave behind here. I was sooooooo excited about it!! Oh well, I'll have you guys to keep me updated.

And, I'm sure I'll find a way to spend my $250 gift card for level 1.

Thanks, ladies. I'll be there in 2009, though!! And, even though my goal was to walk the stage this summer, I still have the goal to promote by then!!

I'll be glued to this site for the updates. :)

Sorry you won't be able to go...you and your DH are making a sacrifice for all of us, so thank you both!

See you the following year!
