Well, I missed Day 10. It was an intentional break for my sake and my family’s sake.
I spent yesterday preparing to leave town today, which meant getting myself ready and getting the boys ready. Lots of laundry, errands, and packing.
I never regret having a quiet day.
Today, I spent 10 hours in the car driving to Indianapolis for the Influence Conference. I don’t mind a good long road trip. I can sing. I can listen to talk radio. I can drive for 7 hours without stopping at all.
The drive was going well until the very last hour. There was a horrible accident and the interstate was closed. Thankfully, my parents were able to check the news and get me back on track since I really had no idea where I was.
I had some entertaining chats with Nina and Crist on the drive. I was thankful for that when I found myself getting sleepy.
Nina and I both made it to the conference hotel right around the same time, and I was so excited to see her! We got to hear Jessi, Hayley, Moriah, and Casey kick off the conference.
Nina and I are staying at my parents’ house instead of the conference hotel. I couldn’t be this close to my parents and not stay with them. I’m excited to have a few days to visit with them.
I’m also excited to learn a lot tomorrow and meet some great new friends at the Influence Conference. I’ll be sure to share all I can!
P.S. Have I mentioned how freeing this series has been for me? I love blogging, but the “what do I blog about today” burden has totally been lifted for the past 11 days. It may not continue like this after these 31 days are over, but I’m just glad I decided to do it this way for myself.
glad you arrived safely. how nice you get to stay with your parents! i want to hear more about this influence conference. oh – and this 31 days format is great! do it for as long as it works for you. or maybe mix it up and come back to it sometimes. we love reading whatever you want to share 🙂
I like reading these entries, I don’t necessarily think each entry has to have a ‘theme’.. you should just write what makes you happy.
Enjoy the conference 🙂
Sounds like you’ll have lots of fun with your friends and seeing your parents. No matter how old I get, I love spending the night at my parents’ house. It makes me feel like a little girl again.
I love reading about other peoples days, especially SAHMs. It’s nice to hear that I’m not alone in some of the joys and struggles that comes with being a SAHM. So as far as I’m concerned, I wouldn’t care if that’s all you ever wrote about:)
I love your 31 day series! These type of posts are what got me hooked on your blog when Hudson was little. I love hearing about your boys and seeing what other moms do/ deal with 🙂 Thanks for posting!
I like your blog more when you post about your day ! It’s so interesting to me ! Where are the boys? Are they staying with your parents too ? What’s Ninas baby bump look like ?!
