I got to spend today at the Women of Faith conference. Thanks to friends at our church Sarah, Becky, Heather, and I were blessed with seats in the IPL suite at Conseco Fieldhouse. After pulling out a Diet Dr. Pepper and enjoying the space and private bathrooms, I decided that I could get used to this! Our tickets were for the Friday daytime session. We heard Sheila Walsh and Dr. Henry Cloud and listened to some wonderful music.
We enjoyed our lunch in the comfy chairs. As we're eating and talking I noticed someone coming down the hall toward us. As I was chewing up a mouthful of apple I realized that it was Larry Bird! In the few seconds before he turned the corner all I could do was stare.....and chew! I must have looked special because Larry looked my way and sort of laughed to himself. :) It happened so fast that I couldn't even think to wave. After I finally swallowed I said, "Do you know who just walked by....Larry Bird! Larry Bird JUST walked by the door!" Sarah asked why I didn't say anything. I couldn't....my mouth was full of apple! I wished I could have at least said, "Hello Mr. Bird." You just don't expect to see Larry Bird at a Women of Faith conference. :) The suites are in the same area as the offices in the stadium. At least it made for a funny story!
It was a fun day and now we're spoiled. We'll never want to sit in the regular seats again. Especially when you can just walk over to the fridge and grab a drink!
