You ever have a moment in your life that is so surreal that you have to pause, look around, and wonder, “How on earth did I get here?”

Yeah, me too.

This last weekend was a momentous occasion! One Grand Party, celebrating 1000 episodes of Adventures in Odyssey. 6000 fans joined us for the event, and I spent all of Friday in Q&As, answering questions, signing autographs, and taking pictures with the amazing people who came from all over the country – and the world! – to make this event special.

Yes, you read that right. Q&As. Meaning I was on a writers’ panel with Kathy Buchanan, Marshal Younger, and Bob Hoose. Answering questions about our work. With them.

I about died. Talk about surreal.

It hit me about a hundred times on Friday. When I was sitting on the stage with a microphone in my hand. When I was signing autographs with a line of people waiting to talk to me. When people were telling me they loved and were impacted by episodes that I wrote.

Come to find out, the Odyssey fans know who I am. I did not expect that.

Don’t know why, I just didn’t.

Also, to all of you who told me you read my blog… Hi! *Waves*

I cannot even begin to express how grateful I am to have been included in this event, and to have the privilege of continuing to write for this show. Odyssey has changed my life, and I am so amazed by this job that God has handed me. Being a part of this incredible production is one of the biggest highlights of my life, and I can’t wait to be a part of the next 1000 episodes!
