Thank you for taking one for the team ;)<br /><br />Audra and I had to go upstairs really, really quickly because 1. we had ALL THE FEELINGS right then and there and 2. we were getting yelled at by the grumpy people at the help desk. Also, you were probably being good and attending the last session.

I wish I had been able to go. Being in such awesome company brings out the fan girl in me, too! However, I get tongue-tied and look like a deer in the headlights.

I'm sure she's accustomed to awe-struck fans.)Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07716758796036142540noreply@blogger.com
