First time attendees!<br /><br />I'm excited. I know God will bless us all in ways we can't even imagine and remember, it's not just a conference, it's a vacation. I love to get on a plane and go someplace new. I've never been to Denver.<br /><br />I know when the time comes I'll start to get butterflies about the agent/editor appts. I wanted to have a completed ms, polished and ready to go, but that probably isn't going to happen. <br /><br />I am excited to meet all the people I've met through ACFW and FHL and in these blogs. <br /><br />Eileen I am just getting around to congratulating you on your finaling! That is quite an honor and will add to the excitement of the conference!<br /><br />DebraDebra E.

Anyway, I just wanted to say THANK you for making the registration for the hotel! I'm so glad that God has worked it out for us to stay together! And I think it would be a blast to have a blogging group breakfast or something! <br /><br />Yikes about the mail box!

SOme booked at hotels down the street and had to commute, so I'd highly recommend booking EARLY.

W...Yah, Katie, I look forward to meeting you too. <br /><br />What would happen...?<br /><br />I'm not certain, but the block held is at a special rate, so I'm sure there are other rooms available, just not at the conference rate. And I guess if they get filled then there are always other hotels in the area likely to stay at. I'm pretty sure I've heard of the block filling up ahead of time, but I'm not sure if they've ever had it where people have had to come from another hotel. There is a fully money back until the day of entry for cancellation, so you might just want to book the room now, and register later to spread the cost out. That's my suggestion, anyway.Eileen Astels Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11098531184044931737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5046333608458306911.post-77960612880202482582009-05-18T15:08:00.000-07:002009-05-18T15:08:00.000-07:00I'll be there, Eileen!

You never know how long it would take to get back there again. But I totally get the whole intimidating thing. I've never been to one this large. 300 attendees is tops for me. I'll be praying myself through it. <br /><br />The courses and teachers do sound awesome. I really hope to learn much from them!<br /><br />Pray about attending, He'll give you the answer.Eileen Astels Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11098531184044931737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5046333608458306911.post-49360721796303099862009-05-18T14:17:00.000-07:002009-05-18T14:17:00.000-07:00So happy to hear about the beautiful wedding!

Unfortunately I could only make one this year, the Mount Hermon Christian Writer's Conference in my home state of California, but it was awesome. I'm sure you'll have a blast at ACFW.<br /><br />I'm glad the wedding was so wonderful. Sorry about your run-in with the stop sign though.
