In Houston!

Hi all! I did get the opportunity to go to Houston this weekend for a metastatic breast cancer conference. I got in this afternoon, via a Southwest Airlines buddy pass from my dad! It was easy to maneuver the airports and I got to my hotel just fine.

One little God note. I was in the Houston restroom and before I entered, I recalled that I had my driver's license in my pocket from boarding the plane in Dallas. I did not put my hand in my pocket, I just thought to myself that it was there. After I used the restroom, and washed my hands, I put my hand in my pocket. My license was not there. I stepped into the bathroom stall I was just in and looked down...on the floor was my license. It was a weird feeling, because in a way, I knew it was not on my seat on the plane, or back in Dallas. I knew it was right there! I am sure it would not have been fun getting home without it...actually impossible via plane. So, I thanked my amazing God for watching after me as I am away from home!

Okay, so now I am safe in my hotel room, which is steps from MD Anderson where the conference will take place. Earlier, I took the Metro Rail up and down (as far as it went) just to see what was around my hotel, and I ate a yummy Italian dinner. I think tomorrow I will try the indoor pool at the hotel. As I re-read this, it sounds like I am going to have a lot alone time. I will, but I will also be at the conference ALL day tomorrow (from 9:30-7:00!), and most of the day Sunday. I am so excited to learn some new things, and as Jake says, meet some people like me!

More to come later :)
