So.

The plan was for me to go to Beth Moore’s conference in Memphis. A couple of friends there were going to come, too. I was going to head to Memphis yesterday, get settled in, spend some time with my friends. Simple, good weekend.

And then yesterday I was given more tickets so that my college girls could come along, too. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT JUNK?

So. A new plan had to go into place.

I made a call to my absolute favorite blogger in the world, Jenna.

Jenna and I met through blogging but are now friends. Raise your hand if you think that’s weird.

So I’m all “Jenna. Pack your bags, you’re going to see Beth Moore.” And Jenna’s all “Can’t. I have a job.” And then we lamented having jobs and responsibilities and stuff. And then we hung up the phone, sad that she was not going to experience Beth’s hair live and in person.

And then she called me back and said “Guess what?” and I yelled “DO NOT TOY WITH MY EMOTIONS, JENNA.” And she was all “I’M COMING TO SEE BETH.”

So she started driving towards a town in Georgia and I started driving towards a town in Georgia and we found each other in a Kroger parking lot and now we are reunited for Beth Moore’s hair, which Jenna has so graciously provided us with a picture of.

As if that wasn’t enough, I would now like to give you the entire line-up of attendees going with me to see Beth Moore’s hair:

Kelly, whom you may remember from the time she drove here and PACKED MY HOUSE UP AND MOVED IT FOR ME.

And then there’s Christan, one of my very first roommates from college.  She’s the one that lets me feed bottles to her babies.  Oh, and she also bakes the cutest Minnie Mouse cakes you have ever seen IN YOUR LIFE.

And then there’s Melanie, my darling friend from high school.  Let me tell you something: this girl and I go WAY back.  And she totally beats me when it comes to giving adorable gifts, too.

And then there’s Stephanie, one of my college girls whom you will remember from the time she infamously wore footie pajamas when I took the girls on a retreat. 

And Hannah’s coming, too.  She was one of the students who came on the trip to Egypt with me.  I do believe you might remember her from the night we accidentally made the washer overflow.

Y’all, I was excited about going to see Beth before now but NOW?  NOW THAT MY GIRLS ARE GOING WITH ME?  I’m out of control excited.  Like, OUT OF CONTROL.

But we leave in like 17 minutes so I need to go finish my hair.   You understand, I’m sure.

P.S. – Several of you had emailed me about meeting up at one of the blogger get-togethers, but I’m going to skip out now that I’ve got a crowd with me.  I’d still love to meet up with you in the arena though!  Please send me an email at ministrysofab AT yahoo DOT com and I’ll email y’all back with a plan for us to get together inside the arena!
