I just have to say this was the most fun weekend and I can't wait til 2010!!!!

Thanks to Nick, David, Jane, Bob, Bill (and Toby - woof!) and everyone else in KC who went out of their way to make us feel welcome and got us where we needed and wanted to be... you kept us fed, housed, educated and entertained and made this weekend just incredible.

I learned a lot, I laughed, I got an amazing workout with Coach Hale... It was exactly like I had thought it would be - no awkwardness, no shyness - we all just fell into our chatter and friendships that began on this board and had such a great time.

Everyone now knows how severe my Sbux addiction is, and thanks to Celeste & Karen (and my DH) for heading out on daily Sbux trips to keep me from going into withdrawal...

I want to talk about everyone individually, but that would take up way too much room, so let me just say that this is a group of unbelievably wonderful people. Those I chat with all the time online, and those who were "new" friends (and I'll be subbing to some more logs today, I think!) - there wasn't a moment when we didn't feel welcomed and included. I was one of the only people who brought a spouse (the only spouse who particpated in everything even though he isn't a board member or even lurker, I think???), but he was welcomed with open arms and really enjoyed himself, so I also have to thank everyone for that.

We can't wait for next year. If you've never been, try to find a way to come in 2010 - you won't regret it.
