It is 5:30AM on Saturday morning. An alarm is going off somewhere in my dreams. Oh right, the alarm is actually going off across the room where my phone is plugged in. Why is my alarm going off at 5:30AM on Saturday morning? I have not had enough sleep! Oh right, early start today at Women of Faith. I’m up, Nikki is up. We are moving. Dress, pack, check bags with hotel, breakfast, checkout and we’re off.

We arrived just at the American Airline Center was opening. At the door we entered these guys were there with their signs, cheering us on.

We are in, cleared security, what is in store for today?

It was so easy to agree to blog about this event in order to win 2 free tickets from BookSneeze. However, it may be difficult to verbalize all that I experienced during the past two days.

First Impressions and Thoughts:

• 20,000 women in the same building? Really? This is a really big concept to get your head around.
• Did you know that 20,000 women can actually sing together and sound beautiful as if they had practiced many times?
• This turned out to be some of the best “people watching” I have experienced.
• The Women of Faith organization is a class act through and through and prepared for everything.
• So glad I decided that a taxi to/from the event was a better idea than parking and walking in this heat and being in the traffic gridlock.
• How do I manage getting to/from the restroom without stopping at the food vendors with high calorie goodies?
