As it turns out, soon is a relative term. Thanks for caring about my new blog design. I've loved reading the comments and emails from you who have been waiting with me. I'm glad you all are excited too. We have to wait a little longer, as my fabulously talented, hard-working blog designer is not quite ready. I can't wait to tell y'all about her.
In other news, this weekend I'm having 22 high school senior girls to my house. All night. No, my house isn't big enough for that. Yes, it was my idea. No, I haven't lost my ever-lovin' mind. This sleepover is a product of a project I've been working on with Kendra (you know, the beautiful and talented cook from My First Kitchen?) I look forward to telling you more about it.
How about something I can tell you now?
BlissDom is next week in Nashville. If you haven't heard, it is a blogging conference hosted by the online magazine Blissfully Domestic. I can't wait to meet some of my favorite bloggers in real life. Last BlissDom was a blast, as seen here. I'll be sure to tell you about this years conference later.
Until then, I'm off to stock the bathrooms with toilet paper. I'm having lots of company tomorrow. And if you are reading this and going to BlissDom, say so in the comments if you'd like.

in which I tell you later

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND MINISTERING TO THOSE VERY PRECIOUS YOUNG LADIES! CAN'T WAIT FOR THE "NEW" BLOG. HUGS FROM MAINE http://sophie4me.blogspot.com
Emily,
I'm coming to BlissDom. I've been working with your sister. I'm the gal behind L. Herbert designs. (The ad on her site with the blue egg.)
We've been working on some projects together and she's very fun and sweet. I've heard others say the same about you. I'd love to meet you at the conference!
See you soon!
I am eagerly anticipating popping over here and seeing something new! I know you will have a great time with all those girls...sounds awesome.
Yep, going. But you already knew that.
I am so excited for those girls that they get to hang out with you! What a blessing! Thanks for loving teens.
that sleepover sounds like a great idea! can't wait to hear about it!
oh girl - I am praying for...you have to stock up on much more than toilet paper.
And yep, I'm going ...with you! BTW, I haven't asked...are you a good driver? ;)
I'll be at Blissdom! I can't wait to meet you!!
Have fun at the sleepover!
I'll most definitely be there, and look forward to meeting you!
i would just like to say how excited i am for this weekend!! :)
I pray your weekend goes well and your house survives. :)
I'm going to Blissdom and I would love to meet you, exchange business cards, and do a video of you. I promise not to stalk you, but I sincerely would like to meet you.
I'm going although I have no impressive blog to show you all- but hopefully after the conference I can be fabulous! ;)
22...that is awesome! Have a blast! and i look forward to seeing you again at Blissdom.
I'm not going to BlissDom, but sure wish I was! Have a great time with all those girls! That's something this Lazy Mom doesn't have the energy for!
I'm going to BlissDom and I'm terrified. I don't know any of the bloggers attending, and I am suddenly struck with the paralyzing fear -- like first day of school when you don't know anyone fear. Eek. But, yea, I'm going. And I'm glad you're going, too.
GOOD LUCK!!!! The girls will love the weekend. I guarente it!
Have so much fun with the girls! I can just imagine the laughter and the memories they'll carry from this forever. We're having company tonight too but just grown-ups. We're excited though. Take care. Kelly
Wow 22 girls! Impressive. :) I'm not going to Blissdom but can't wait to hear all the stories again at breakfast the "day after". lol
I'm not going to the conference but my bff Kat and I ARE going to Nashville just to crash some parties! We are even staying at the same hotel! Woo hoo! We just couldn't let y'all get three hours from us and not high-tail it up there to meet y'all!
I had 20ish of the college student leaders in our ministry over for an appreciation dinner on Wednesday night, and it was crazy, but so fun too. It does get hectic with that many bodies in one little house, but it is also a joy to hear all their voices and laughter and see them connecting and enjoying the time. I'm sure you'll be totally exhausted after a whole weekend of girl fun, but I'm sure it will be that content exhaustion that is quickly forgotten...until you host your next event. ;) Hope it goes wonderfully!
Alas, I will not be at Blissdom. I almost signed up about a month ago but seeing as how it would require weaning my 14-month-old and shelling out money we really don't have...I am not meant to go. This time.
And as it turns out, my baby is weaning himself after all...but I have not gotten rich yet.
You better believe I am hoping to be at Blissdom '10.
I am, however, seriously considering She Speaks (If it's not too late to sign up. I've heard it sells out quickly.) Will you be there?
Six days and counting! It should be fun!
Emily,
I have been wondering and wondering if you were going to be at Blissdom. I just found out last Sunday I am going. I am soo excited to get to see you again!
See you Soon!
Alyssa
I am so jealous! I hope you have a blast at Blissdom... I will hopefully be there next year. Oh I am hosting a contest make sure you stop by!
So many great bloggers are going..have fun and I can't wait to see all the pictures!

Hope you and the 22 girls had a fun time together making memories and having good chats!
I would love to see some more pics of the kitchen with the painted cabinets! That sneak peak you gave a while back really got me curious!

I am looking forward to the "new" blog! I must admit I am actually looking for information. I love the color of your room/rooms. Tobacco Road? What brand is it? I am painting my bedroom and I think that may be perfect. Thanks, Trisha
Hi Trisha,
You have no email attached to your blog so I'll respond here. Most of my rooms are Tobacco Road and it is a Duron color from their old paint fan. They will know what you mean if you just say "old Duron color". The code is 8214. Good Luck!
Hey Emily...come over, I'm doing a giveaway...send your peeps over as well.
Oh, to go to Blissdom. It would be...well...bliss. But alas, I am not joining you. I wish I could. But I hope you have a fabulous time!
i'm still stockin' the toilet paper- and my kids are teens!
looking forward to fun, emily! :)
hope your weekend was fantastic! and i hope your new design appears soon (along with some wonderful words from you!) but... the suspense is about killing me! :)
I wish I was going to Blissdom. *big sigh* Maybe one day.
Wow, how awesome of you to host so many young women! I know they will have an amazing time. You're inspiring!
*big sigh*
Alas, I will be missing BlissDom again this year. What with the nursling and the no money and all, it just wasn't in the cards. I'm trying to channel all of my "I'm so JEALOUS" energy into "Y'all have the best time EVER" thoughts for you lucky ladies.
I cannot wait to see the design roll out.
I so look forward to hearing about the sleepover. Sounds like madness - in a good way.
You're killing me here! I am so excited to see your new blog design I feel like a stalker! Can't wait to meet you this weekend-
Stay close, Kelly...it won't be long now!!!
Stay close, Kelly...it won't be long now!!!
