My family reunion was held last weekend. After over a year of planning, fretting and fussing (and one or two crazy cousins) the big weekend came and went off without a hitch. The family came, enjoyed themselves and voted for the next reunion to be in New Jersey. Hosting this reunion was the hardest thing I've ever done but I'm glad I did it becasue the family was happy and I now know that I can make a huge project go from the drawing board to reality. My patient husband and I are now going to take a long vacation.

Thanks to everyone here for your advice and encouragement. This message board is a priceless resource.
