My Three Things:
1) I need coffee. Desperately.
I am ridiculously addicted to coffee. I never realize how bad my dependence is until I wake up one morning out of coffee creamer. Or when I'm having a bad day and I feel like the only thing that will make me happy is a hot, white chocolate mocha. My roommates are probably wishing they knew they invited a non-morning person to spend four days with them... Stephanie, MacKenzie and Megan...sorry gals.
2) I am an introvert in disguise.
I am generally terrified when I enter into a room full of people I don't know. I'm finally starting to get a handle on my anxiety that reared its ugly head about two years ago. But as a heads up, if you see me walking around in a daze, I'm probably trying to calm down and tell myself to leave the xanax in my purse :). After a little while I relax and realize I'm OK, but there is no instantaneous comfort here.
And the truth is, I will probably be dying to talk to you, but too embarrassed to actually do it. So, by all means, COME HUG ME! I really want to hug you, too. haha
3) I don't unpack my suitcase when I'm on vacation.
My clothes might be wrinkled by the last day. I swear I'm not (generally) a ragamuffin. I just never understood the point to pack for vacation, unpack to stay, repack to go home, and unpack at home. It's probably the same rationalization I use to never make my bed.... Please don't judge me for this. ----
I'm Looking Forward To:
1) Meeting you!
I think I lot of people are saying this, but I am so excited to meet everyone! I feel like so many of you are my friends already, so I can't wait to give you a big hug and thank you for everything you've done, said or written that inspired, encouraged or strengthened me. I'm really stoked to get to know my roomies better! Plus, I have to give Amanda and Aimee a giant squeeze :). I'm sure I'll be a bit star struck to see the bloggers I really admire like Jessi and Alissa.
2) Soaking it all in!
I also can't wait to learn from all of the amazing speakers. I've found such a passion in blogging and I would LOVE to be using it all for His kingdom. I forsee myself taking a LOT of notes!

I Can't Leave Home Without:
1) My iPhone. Let's be real. Otherwise, though, it would be chap-stick. I'm trying to be a real adult and wear lipstick more, but I reach for my Burts Bees several times a day, and definitely right before bed/right when I wake up. Also, I clearly can't leave without the gorgeous clutch from Rebecca at Better Life Bags.
I'm supposed to show you a picture, so here's me from earlier this week:
