Well... I've got good news... and I've got bad news...

Which to do want first????

Bad... I won't be able to attend convention this year... so sad.
Good News... because I found out today that I'm 11 weeks pregnant!!!! YEAH!! I've known for a while but thought I was only 7 or 8 weeks pregnant which would allow to me still fly down. BUT NOW!!! I won't be allowed to! And the doc doesn't want me to travel after 32 weeks!

So it looks like I will have to wait another two years! Maybe this next time, it will be within 2 hours of my home (HINT HINT HINT to the BIG SQUIRRELS!! Nashville, Lexington, Louisville, somewhere in OHIO!!!)

Congrats! Here's hoping for a legacy!

The next Convention location has been probably been booked since last year, it's just kept very quiet until the official announcement! I believe someone said once that they have to book 3 or 4 years in advance to get the facilities, etc. 2010 is probably a done deal, but lobbying for 2012 could be useful! (oh my gosh, that's the year my daughter graduates from high school!)

Thanks everyone! If convention was closer to home then I would attempt the 32 week time but I'm worried about getting stuck in some RFD area... not the birth plan I want.

As to location... I figured that it was already set but I was just hoping it was going to be on the East Coast again. We seem to have a pattern to our locations... Atlanta (EC) Chicago (Mid-Cont), California (WC), San Antonio (Mid-Cont), so hopefully 2010 will be within a 5 or 6 hour travel time for me. I do hope to go to convention before I'm 90.

VanSquirrel... so sorry to hear about your aunt. I understand the long time cancer can affect a family and the trials and tribulations that can occur from it. I'll keep you and your's in my prayers.

So I found my convention info in the mailbox when I came home for lunch, and does anyone happen to know what events VandalShyster can attend? It says guests can come to certain events but I wasn't sure which ones those are. I'm guessing the dinner at the ranch and the diabetes walk, and maybe the opening dinner.

I'll probably call IHQ, but since many of you have been at past conventions I thought you might know off hand.
