Close but not quite there

I am on my way to the Created for Care conference near Atlanta. I failed to book airfare in a timely manner so I made the decision to just drive. How far could it be? Okay it is pretty far. Now that I think about it this is the first time I have driven this far alone. Usually, I am sitting in the passenger seat reading a magazine, and Gerard is driving.

My original plan was to fly in and out...well that was scrapped. Anna this week started to cling to me a little more than usual so I had the idea of asking La-La and Jimmy to ride down with me so Anna was close by if she needed me...well that did not work out because La-La had to work. So Anna is home with Gerard, La-La and Jimmy. It is nice because I know they will keep her busy enough to not miss me. Aristotle and Sloan will also be over this weekend for playing. By Monday she will be missing me.

I hope to come back from this conference with a bunch of information and a little bit different perspective on adoption. I am really most excited about being surrounded by others who have a heart for adoption. I have so many questions this week for some reason.
