How I'm Doing

Tuesday, September 28, 2010

In a nutshell...

Meeting a bunch of women that you have only known through the internet. Sounds weird right? NOT AT ALL. I mean, I'll be honest. I arrived late on Friday and pulling up to the hotel was a bit intimidating. Everyone had been with eachother for hours. Drinks had been had. There were people I didn't know. But by Saturday night, it was as if the planet shifted. We shared something incredible. We shared the recognition that we had all made an incredibly brave decision to change our lives and that throughout that decision, we had eachother. That alone drew us all together in a way that no other "convention" could.


The weekend was a blur. It all just seemed to go by way too quickly. Conversations lasted for minutes that I would have wanted to last for hours. And p.s. the drinks flowed WAY too easily. 


Saturday night post dinner...The Blue Frog...HILARIOUS. Umm...Sarah...let's just say, there's some catching up to do on that Jimmy. ;-) 


More to follow, but work has been absolutely insane as soon as I hit the ground early Monday morning. Here are some quick pictures for all of you.


I cannot wait to see you all again!! xoxo


Me and my lady love Nic
Rompers, rompers, rompers
 Me, Nicole, Beth and Angie, drinks + blankets + outdoor bar = fabulous

    Wish we had more time to talk, but it was great seeing you in person. You are as beautiful and thin as I expected.

    Love you and your pics. Will definitely let you know when I will be in NYC. Next weeks trip to NY will be a Long Island weekend only as we have a wedding. We'll be up again for Christmas and I have to get my NYC Christmas pics so maybe then?

    So great seeing you...I will definitely try and get Barb to come with me to the city the next time the NYC hicks meet for lunch. I feel like that whole band/bugle corps. connection takes us to another level. I was so shocked to hear about George Parks. I remember he had been Drum Major of the Reading Bucs back in 1980 and that's when I started at West Chester. He was a hero there having been an alumni (sp?) I guess I never even knew that he ended up at UMAss. Again...I hope you stay strong as you deal with this major loss in your life.
    If you ever need to talk...I'm here.
