I'm back!

Just got back this afternoon from the ACFW conference. WOW! What a great, amazing conference. The teaching was great. The fellowship phenomenal. The chance to meet with my agent and lots of editors wonderful. And the worship healing. I'll post more later, just know that if you weren't able to attend this year, you really need to make plans now to join us next year in St. Louis.

I'm thrilled Eric was able to drive down and join me for the awards banquet last night. Jeane Wynn took this photo, and I had to share it! Isn't he handsome :-)

The second highlight of the conference was the opportunity to meet Janette Oke! She attended to help celebrate Carol Johnson, and it was a THRILL to meet the author who helped launch Christian fiction and mentored me from a distance as a teen. She answered several letters and I still have those precious responses.

I must admit I am majorly (is that a word? It is now! :) jealous that you got to meet Janette Oke. I still love her fiction, it never ceases to move and entertain me.

I love this picture of you and Eric. I saw it on the liveblog during the event. You guys are such a great looking couple.

I hope to attend one of these years and I know that when I do, you are going to be one of the first people I am going to seek out. So until then...

Prayers and a cyber hug headed your way. :)

She was so gracious. Just wish I'd thought to get my picture taken with her! Next year's in St. Louis, Casey. Hope you can come!

I hope so too! But all in God's timing. :) It has to be or I won't be ready.
