So much goodness is happening at Haven2012. I am certainly honored to spend 2 days with all of you amazing women. Its going to be EPIC!
Mr. Goodwill Hunting
Epic! I love it, Rashon! Thank you for being a part of it!
I can’t believe the round up for Haven 2012!! I’ve had my tickets and hotel room booked for quite some time, now just countin’ down the days 🙂 Missed your posts last week, but totally understand how busy you can get with a “real” job. Hope all is well!!
Thank you for understanding, Erin. The guilt gets overwhelming at times! Hoping to be back to “normal” now! 🙂 Can’t WAIT to meet you!
Wow! John & Sherry are such rock stars! That’s awesome! I’m hoping to be able to make it to Haven. It hits the end of finals week, so I’m waiting to see if my 15yo will be done with finals before buying my ticket. Hopefully they’ll come out with the test schedule soon.
I wish I could come…can you have one of those fun conferences in our great state of Michigan??? I think everyone would love it! I will help you put it all together! 🙂
This lineup sounds amazing!!! Pretty sure I am attending, it’ll be my first blogging conference (can you say nervous and excited at the same time??!!). Yay! xoxo
I’m still considering buying a ticket. After seeing the workshop list and the guest speakers, I want to come even more than before.
Looks like you will have a great time.
Happy Anniversary by the way. Congratulations!

Seems you are blogging less and less these days. I understand you are busy with… life, but you hooked me last year. Loved when you incorporated your family and well, yes the Nemesis. Now your blog seems so much more commercialized. I really miss the good ‘ol days, Chris. Your sense of humor always put a smile on my face. Well, I guess I can always read your archives.
