I Deserve to Go to Blog World Expo

I want to live the dot com lifestyle.  Watching the video of John Chow and Sally taking a walk in the empty park made me think about what I want for my kids when my husband and I start a family.  I would cherish this opportunity to become a better blogger and to make a better lifestyle for myself and my family.

I’m a recent graduate who has student loan payments coming up.  I live in a small, southeast Iowa town where the job market was dim before the economy went bad.  About one year ago my husband and I made lifestyle changes to save money and to try to save a little bit of the planet.  Friends and family began asking questions so I started this blog 10 months ago to chronicle my experiences and experiments.  I blog so I can share the results with others who like to save money or be more self-sustainable.  I have a love for teaching as is evident with this blog and my volunteer work.

My ultimate goal is to be a woman’s voice in the blogging world.  I think this would be an excellent first step.  This will be my first blog expo experience and I will soak up everything and put it to good use.

Lastly (but definitely not least!), I want to go to BlogWorld Expo to network and meet the greats; the best of the best.  Yes, John Chow, that would be you!  I would also love to meet (or at least see) Darren Rowse, Jeremy Schoemaker, Brian Clark, and Jonathan Volk.  You guys are my teachers and my inspiration.  If you gave me this opportunity it would be a life and career changing experience.

Our photo might look something like this…   Thank you for the opportunity, John!
