Matt...Lydia...Caleb....I'm Sorry! I Promise to Visit.....

Yesterday I had the privilege to meet Matt, Lydia and Caleb.  They had put together a wonderful bash at Logan's Road House Grill in Orlando, Florida

I had the opportunity to really get to know these 3 people and imagine they flew all the way from Washington to meet me!  OK, I would like to think that but I have to tell you they all made me feel that way.

Before meeting them, I kinda read their post, you know skim the surface of their posts and only comment when I wanted something or needed something, meaning me giving input in a change or getting one of our special posts on the lists. I never really took the time to acknowledge them after all without them what would I be doing right now?

                 

Honestly I have never really thought about how hard they work in an attempt to keep 35,583 people happy.  I can assure you they take everything and everyone into consideration. 

I know this now because I met them!  They do their best and spend hours and hours trying to fine tune the system and imagine their system, this great network, their support and it's all for FREE!

Each one of them are so warm and I felt I was amongst old friends.   As I sat and talked with them I came to realize really what this network was about, I could hear it their voices, the passion each one of them have, their intent and the gift they gave each of us.                               

                                       

I asked a few questions more on a personal note than business but I do know each of them spend many hours on the computer helping each and everyone of us every single day!

All of them surprised me with their personalities.  Each extremely intelligent, warm and very open but very different from the other.  At one point, I heard Caleb talking passionately about what the network was all about.  Ok, I have to admit my heart went pitter-patter.  That is the reason the network means so much to me.  The passion..... 

So Matt...Lydia...Caleb...Thank You So Much.....for taking a flight to see me, preparing the party in which I had a very good time, the great dinner we all shared, the awesome intentions that you have for the network and for allowing me to be a part of it.  So I hope that you will forgive me that I have taken you all for granted for so long and now I am able to place a person to the on-line presence. It won't happen again, Matt....Lydia....Caleb I'm sorry and I promise to visit you more often! 

 

Orlando Celebration posts coming soon..........

Bryant-Oh, yeah, we have fun!  I could not believe we were all together 8 hours, I say we were a fun bunch together.  Even though I did not have a drink...I am recovering today!  I was so excited the night before the event I didn't sleep enough.  Just like a kid going to Disney....The truth is I got so much more than I could have ever expect!  I had an incredible time!

Midori...

I am just now recovering. I woke up with a headache, a bad case of laryngitis and I think I busted a rib from all the laughing. I am not complaining though. The way I feel today reflects what a great time I had yesterday. It was really nice meeting you. But you know that. I probably put a hurtin' on you with that three way hug :)

As far as Lydia...Matt and Caleb they do a great job keeping AR up and running. And to think it's all FREE. It was really fun to finally meet them in person :)

TLW...ROAR!

Billie-I had to take a 3 hour nap today.  Yes it was so much fun and I am thrilled I met both you and Bryant.  Yes I loved the 3 way hug and can't wait to do it again.  Matt, Lydia and Caleb really WOW'd me just as the rest of the people who attended.  You did a awesome job too!  Thank you for everything you put into it!  All and all I thought is was a success and am so happy to have been a part of it!

Colleen-It was a pleasure to meet you as well.  I know you did a lot to get to us.  I had hoped to spend more time with you but there is always another time.  p.s.  don't be upset but your photo does not do you justice.  You are a cutie!

Lysa-Yes we had a great time and we can do it anytime with some of the members we do not live so far away!  They do so much for us and I am so appreciative just as you are!

Midori,

Thanks for this sweet post. I really enjoyed talking to you.  I have to say that it was quite an experience and even though I hadn't had a drink, I'm still recovering ;).  By the way I think the place i was talking about is "The Ocean Deck" but I'm not sure. One of the best Monte Cristo sandwiches ever.

Caleb-It was probably the Ocean Deck, they do have great food.  I love Ruebens and the pub I was talking about is The Irish Rover!  I realllllllllly enjoyed talking with you too.  I was really exhausted myself and took an extra 3 hour nap.  I felt hung over, hmmmmm I didn't drink.  I had a wonderful time with you all and really appreciate the fun we all had.  Thank you for everything that you do!  If ever you want to visit....... you can hang out with your new friends......Thanks again Caleb....

Midori,

I had a great time. I wish that I could have stayed longer, maybe with less heat, and broken up into shorter sessions :)

We will have to meet up again.
