Home Again

This is the car we got to drive around all weekend. It was tiny! I felt like I was in a prison cell on wheels, but of course, Ted loved it. I thought for sure we were going to get pulled over or something, because a bright yellow sports car and Ted is a mixture for disaster. And, those of you who don't know, Ted likes speed...need I say more?

Ted, sporting his dashing look!

Thanks to my dear friends at Margene's, I looked and felt amazing at the Awards Banquet on Saturday Night.

All I can say is WOW! The ACFW Conference was incredible! Ted liked it too, and we are considering writing a YA novel together. I seriously learned so much, and by the end of each night, I was exhausted. I met so many wonderful and inspiring people who helped me to realize it's okay to love writing, books, and all the creative things in life. Denver was beautiful, as usual. And, we even found a cute little church to attend on Sunday before we flew home. Unpacking was a lot of fun, and we brought back lots of books. There was a bookstore at the conference and we spent around $150 just on books. Then, they gave us free books, so one suitcase was full of books...it was great! Now, I am back to writing, taking the techniques and lessons learned at the conference and applying them. And, I have also started writing a whole new book. I feel that my first manuscript was too dull, so I am starting a new one with many more adventures and excitement, along with passion and suspense. Wish me luck! :)
