I'm home.
My plane came in late last night and my husband and Courtney picked me up at 11:15 p.m. When we got home the kids were ALL awake and so I passed out gifts and we sat in the kitchen and talked to nearly 2:oo in the morning.
I think they missed me!
I have SO much to tell about the BlogHer conference and am planning on gathering my thoughts and putting together a post to wrap up my trip. I just have to say right now that I REALLY wish that all of the bloggers that I have become acquainted with over this past year - had been there for me to meet in person. I was fortunate to meet MANY of the bloggers that I have come to know and that was VERY COOL, but ... I could list 300 more of your all that weren't there that I REALLY WISH HAD BEEN!! That was, for me, the most exciting part of the whole conference - meeting people and getting to know new people.
I am EXHAUSTED and plan on spending the day catching up with my kids, my house, my husband and unpacking and such. It was a very long 4 days but I just LOVED every minute of it and am SO GLAD I WENT!!! I will post some more pictures and details of the trip soon.
I have to say - I woke this morning very tired - mentally and physically! I also woke up very happy. Content.
You have got to love a country - a WORLD - where you can be in San Francisco in a beautiful hotel in Union Square, in the morning - drinking coffee with friends ---- then down at Pier 39 looking across the bay at the Golden Gate Bridge, while sitting at a darling little restaurant eating your clam chowder and shrimp sandwich (YUM - WOW!) at noon ---- and then back in your very own kitchen sitting at the table surrounded by the children that you love the most in all the world ---- all ... in the same day.
I not only feel very grateful for this experience - I feel gratitude for my life - for the marvelous country we live in - for my sweet family. I also LOVED California (my first time there) and I LOVED San Francisco. I can't wait to go back!
I hope you all have been well while I have been out of pocket and am anxious to get back to visiting and ... BLOGGING!

Welcome home. The conference sounds truly divine!
I'm glad you enjoyed San Fran! Such a great city!
I'm so glad you had such a good time, Kellan Renee. Between you and OHMommy, I am having so much fun reading about this experience of yours, and wish I would have been there. I mean, I don't know exactly what I'd do there since my blog isn't that kind of blog, but it sure sounds fun anyway! I can't wait to hear more from you about it, and for your pictures. Your posts from SF were very much appreciated, but now I'm glad you'll be back to regular blogging, too!
Welcome home! I can't wait to hear more about the conference. I'm glad you're back, and I'm glad you had such a great time. I loved your posts from San Francisco. And hey, you should try to make it to Southern California next time too...we're lots of fun down here...we have Disneyland and Sea World ;)
hey WOW sounds like so much fun! Wish I could have gone too! :)
