Amazing!

We haven't received our itineraries for the Tweetup yet, but still some neat news as of the last week.

Dr. Sally Ride *will* be at the Tweetup!! She was the first American woman to go into space, along with many other great accomplishments.(You can read more about her here)I really, really hope we get a chance to talk to the guests one on one, I have so much I want to ask her about her life, about her career, about overcoming adversity. I am so stoked!!

I derive my inspiration and motivation to keep going for what I want from people who go the distance, overcome difficulty, reach out to others, make a difference in the world. You only get one shot at life, and there is SO MUCH I want to do in mine, so naturally, I admire her because not only has she has accomplished so much for herself, she pays it forward as well.

The Tweetup is less than two weeks away now. I feel like the sights I am going to see, the people I am going to meet- it is going to be an overwhelmingly fantastic week.

(And I KNOW Endeavour is sitting in the VAB just waiting for me to unleash my photographic skills on her forever beautiful self. ;)

Also, I am wishing, hoping, dreaming, that we get to see the Falcon 9 up close. I love SpaceX, and I saw the inaugural flight of this rocket last summer and I would love to be in its presence.

I still feel like this is a dream!
