[tri-med] Re: Conference Happenings...

Maybe we can make it next year...I really wish we were there.  My dh is in a
wedding this weekend.  I know I am being a bit selfish, but the wedding has
really rubbed me the wrong way.  First of all, we can't make it to the
conference.  Second of all, it is costing us big bucks (tux, wedding events,
and of course, gifts) and it is taking dh away from me and the 3 kids for
almost 2 entire days.
Anyway, glad you are all having fun!!!!!
