anemone1983 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Is anyone interested in doing a meet-up this fall in the midwest? I'm looking at vacation time planning and want to allocate some time to this. We usually meet in October. The only weekend I'm booked is October 7 - 9. Other than that, I'm open. Also, Tamara is getting married in November. Flights are outrageous at the moment, so I'm not sure I'll go to that, but that decision may affect attending a meet up. So we'll start with - Who is interested? AND Where do you want to meet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRS Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I'll be moving farther west this summer, so I could probably do a meet up. Dh's new job will not require him to work 1 weekend a month like he has in the past, so that opens things up. But since we are moving, I have no idea what to expect in terms of school and sports yet. It's funny, I was just thinking about the meetups this morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRS Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I still haven't taken the leap to FB! We're looking at Brandenburg, KY outside of Ft. Knox. I want to say it's only about 4 hours to St. Louis from there, but I can't remember. If that's the case and that is where a meet up is, I'll just drive instead of fly.

SodScrap Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I'm in!! (well...if I'm not in the loony bin by then......if so, y'all can meet up there!!!) I don't have any official plans in October so I should be flexible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsoarty Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Where is midwest? I'd be interested if it's closer to Utah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsoarty Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Maybe I should organize one on the West coast the same weekend as the midwest one.... we can Skype LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anemone1983 Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 Where is midwest? I'd be interested if it's closer to Utah. Midwest has been in St. Louis, Kansas City, and Omaha. Not sure if it's been anywhere else; we tried Des Moines but that didn't get off the ground. Utah is certainly west, but anyone is welcome to come regardless of where they live!

Laura Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 What about the weekend of October 14, 15, 16? Would you all be interested in having it in Illinois? Near Carlyle Lake? It's not a HUGE place for photo walks but we can certainly get some water photos. It's about an hour from the St Louis Airport. I would be happy to try to work out a shuttle if anyone is interested.

SandiC. Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 This year October is just not possible for me. Darn. But you'll have a great time. If someone were to get a west meet up going I'd love it. This year I can't get one put together. Plate overloaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraYB Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 This LauraB is in also....I'll fly or drive in! #LoveMySGPeeps and #LoveToTravel. Any dates good for me. Always great fun! Update: Oct 15, 16, 17 out for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any official plans in October so I should be flexible. Maybe the loony bin would give us a good rate on the doctors' conference room? Teehee!

CRS Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I maybe in the loony bin by then, too. Depends on how this move goes. I'll know more after visiting the area next week.

I think my saving grace was the meetup LAST year...had just relocated and was still feeling the "transplant" woes. Some of the girls prob thought I was way past ready for the looney bin. Wish I could offer my help...I've gotten this relo thing down to a science now! I so hope that you get to meet up with us. Have fun during your visit next week.

anemone1983 Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 So far, I've seen these weekends as "not good": October 7-9 (bad for Michele) October 14 - 16 (bad for Laura B and Lei) October 21 - 23 (bad for Cheri) Which leaves in October: October 1 - 3 October 28 - 30 (Halloween weekend, is it really OK?) Who can settle on October 1 - 3 so we can start talking location? Or do we need to think about September? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRS Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I went to a meet up just before we moved to MD and I was stressed beyond belief! First time moving with kids and doing it solo was not fun. It didn't help that dh was home with the kids for the weekend and kept calling to give me updates that were not what I wanted to hear! Hopefully whatever weekend you decide on will work for me since I have no idea what will be happening once we settle into a new school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimes1 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Hi Everyone - It sounds like you all are going to have a great time. I won't be able to make it this year though. My nephew is getting married in October on North Carolina so we need to save all our pennies for that trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
