Yes, I get to go to Blissdom!! I really can’t believe it actually. And I am sure that I won’t believe it till I am on the plane flying to Nashville. I remember the days back before I even started my blog, just reading them and doing things around the house, and my husband telling me that I’ll go one day. I just shunned that idea immediately and thought “yea, right.” Then I started blogging in May, and well, God had a plan apparently! And I’ve never been to Nashville so that will be fun!! It’s time to bring out the country in this country gal.
So, in case you aren’t familiar with what Blissdom is, it’s a blogging conference where anyone can go and connect with all of their fellow blog friends and get to actually meet and talk in person! How fun will that be? I hope I’m not starstruck when I meet a few of my idols. Or I hope I’m not dumb enough to ask for their autographs or something. Ha! No seriously though, I am really looking forward to hanging out with everyone. Of course I’m hoping we actually learn something too, in between all of the mingling. :)
So who’s going? Please go! I want to meet all of you. It’s January 26-28, and I think you have until January 1 to buy the ticket at the discounted rate? But don’t quote me on that.
I’m excited and really nervous at the same time. This will be the first time I’ve ever left Emma. I think the longest she’s been gone from me was maybe just 4 hours or so. Not THREE days!!! But, she will be in good hands with her Daddy during that time. She loves her Daddy! He gives her plenty of sweet treats and slips in some strawberry milk in her cup. :)
How could you not give treats to that monkey face?
But I’m also nervous because I don’t want to scare my roomies when I get up in the middle of the night rummaging around for my 2 a.m. snack. I better stock up beforehand since there won’t be any food in the hotel room.
Soooo,
yes?
xxoo,
Decorchick!
SOOOOO excited to meet you…although I feel like I already know you. :)
I know! Well you know my family apparently, so that counts! :)
SOOOO jealous!!!
You will love the hotel – its huge. I worked a gourmet food show there about 6-7 years ago. Have a great time!
Oh awesome! Thanks Jen!
Sounds awesome, I wish I was going! Nashville is ridiculously far from Idaho (the flight alone would be mucho dinero!). I can’t wait to hear all about your experiences there.
Oh yea, that’s pretty far. Wish you could go!
N’ville is just down the road! Haven’t been over to the hotel since they reopened it last month. Heard they have done some very nice reno since the flood.
Are you going to see any local sights during your stay?
That’s what I hear too. Can’t wait to see it.
Well I’d love to see some sights, but not exactly sure how much time there will be. I’m sure we’ll squeeze in something. :)
Oh how fun! You’ll have a blast in Nashville! Besides the blogging part of things it’s such a rich city with so many things to see, good food, great people! I wish I could say I was going but I’m not. Have fun for all of us, will ya!
Blessings,
Shanna
Aw I wish you were! I’m looking forward to the good food. :)
You will have such a great time! Yay!
Nancy
Thanks Nancy, I hope so! :)
Ooh, that sure does sound like fun! I was at the Opry Land Hotel a few years back for a Shaklee conference! It’s ginormous! Have you been ever? Oh you will have a blast I’m sure! Yeah, definitely pack snacks. There’s a few place to get food but they close early. No late night snack options for that 2 AM craving lol.
Have a blast. So wish I could go, that would be funnn!
Haha, no I’ve never been. I heard the hotel is really nice though. I really wish you could go too!!
how exciting! i can’t wait to hear all about it!
yay!
You know it! I’ll be there with bells on! Hopefully not literally because that could get a bit obnoxious, eh? Looking forward to hugging your neck lady!
If you want to wear bells then you just wear bells! I’m looking forward to it too!
So happy you are getting to go! have fun! I am so glad to hear I am not alone at 2am eating a snack!!! I completely thought I was alone in that and my family says it looks like a rats been in the kitchen every morning :o) Do you have to have something sweet or you cannot go back to bed? It’s this intense need for sugar and once I have a little bit I’m right back to bed :o) I too take snacks when I am places I know I won’t be able to get something easily in the middle of the night :o) thanks for making me feel “normal” ha ha!
HAHAHA omg wow. I wonder if we are sleepwalking? And yes, I usually go for something sweet. If not, then I get a scoop of peanut butter or a piece of cheese. Weird right??
You’re going to have the best time. One year I’ll go to Blissdom. This year, I’m going to Mom 2.0, which will be equally fabulous I’m sure!
Oh awesome, that will be fun!!
Never heard of it, but sounds fun!
Ha, I hope! :)
2 a.m. snack? Well, hopefully, you don’t snore:) So excited to go on this trip with you girlie! We’ll have to support each other while away from our little angels. Merry Christmas!!!
I didn’t even know this existed what a fantastic idea. Best part is….I live in Nashville! Thanks so much for sharing!
So happy for you! Nashville is a terrific place, and I’m sure Opryland Hotel is better than ever since it has been rebuilt after the flood. We lived in the suburbs of Nashville for 15 years, and I worked at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center before the kiddos were born. Still miss TN and still have lots of good friends there. I just know you are going to love it!
And while I’m here, just want to wish a Merry Christmas to you and those you love!
Yay! Looking forward to meeting you!!! You’ll love Blissdom, so much to learn and best of all, so many wonderful people to connect with!!! I always learn a lot!
See you soon!! xoxo
Yay!! Can’t wait Melissa. You’re a superstar. :)
hey girl!!!

anxious to meet you!
