Trying out the new laptop while I make and post this video. Got some bugs to work out, it cut me off in the end, but the jist is I’M EXCITED!!!

The countdown is the toughest part, when others arrive before I do, I hear about it on our groups, FB and IMs. It starts to get me itchy. Can’t wait til Thursday when the road trip begins.

When I go to conference it feels like just a really comfortable setting. To be myself without that extra element of having to explain about my parents being Deaf. Some people really call it home. My parents are still living, but for those that parents have passed, I’ve been told conference gives them that part of them back. Several Codas are not in Deaf-related work fields and this conference allows us to celebrate our heritage along with Deaf heritage. We are a sub-culture of the Deaf community.

I enjoy no explain explain at conference! It allows me to just building friendships based on me, not first let me tell you all about the Deaf world. Oh and yes I like drama, cooking and gardening.

I’m excited to see my family!
