Yes it has taken me a little time to post about the spectacular event held at Logan's Road House Grill in Orlando Florida. I wanted to think about what exactly it meant to me.
Jeff and Rocky Turner made it! "So happy to see you both!" "Looking Good!"
For those of you who did not attend, you really missed out on an Activerain Family Reunion. 
"Pay it Forward, Midori, Neal and Colleen!"
Look, Flat Jack made it too! "Very nice to meet you Jack!"
I have to tell you all the excitement started the night before, I was like a kid going to Disney and I didn't really sleep at all. So many thoughts and questions ran through my head.
I definitely did not want to waste a minute on this golden opportunity. Yes here we grow again, growing my sphere! I don't mean to sound business but to me my sphere are my friends, family and loved ones. I can honestly tell you I made some new friends!
My first encounter with anyone from Activerain at the event was the TLW as she charged Lysa and I both and gave us such a warm welcome. I felt that I had known her all along and we were just so happy to see each other once again. I knew it was definitely not the same interaction as on-line, all of us had squeezed each other so hard, a 3 way hug, YES, TLW was telling the truth about broken ribs.
I was really excited getting inside to see live and in person Matt, Lydia and Caleb and of course the ever famous Broker Bryant, everyone was so warm...Let the fun begin.....
Broker Bryant, Lysa and Neal in deep conversation, I think it has to do with the number 3.
As guests starting arriving, there was a lot of hugging and handshaking going on. I was so excited and could not wait for the next person to walk in. As I studied everyone, it seemed to me their on-line personality was very similar to their real selves. I was quite surprised and it was awesome!
Yes, we shared our markets and what is going on, lots of personal conversation and tons of laughter but to me, I already knew everyone, it was like being with family because we share a part of ourselves on-line almost everyday. Take note of TLW, I see she is a giggling, oh no, what is she up to now?
I could not wait to meet Colleen, I have her to thank for teaching me how to blog. I imagine she was like O.J. Simpson trying to get to Orlando so she would not miss this great event. I was so happy to meet her, she was everything I expected and more!
I know that I did not get around to talk with everyone as much as I liked. I had a surprise waiting for me in Orlando. Non other than my brother, Albert, just another incredible thing that was not expected! I am all about making memories and having fun so for me that was just another added bonus. "Albert Ladies Man!"
Can I just tell you Ines and Chris are both so gorgeous, their photo's do not do them justice!
So I guess what I want to say to everyone that attended, Thank You for sharing yet another incredible experience with me. Thank You for taking time out of your everyday life....It was fun.....I enjoyed it....For those of you not in our neck of the woods, I am sure we were thinking of you and you might have come up in conversation...Maybe next year we can go national. Now that would be something! Wouldn't It?
