All of the challenges in the Rain are so much fun to participate in and I always enjoy reading the posts from others. I learn so much from them and it also allows me to get to know people better. As you are probably well aware, I really enjoy meeting people and getting to know them.

Currently, I am traveling and getting to meet a lot of new people in different parts of the country. My most recent meetup was with the Peeps in the DC area. We had a great turnout, as you can see from the photos, and Lise Howe suggested an amazing restaurant that was within walking distance from the hotel I was staying at. In attendance also were Margaret Rome Baltimore 410-530-2400, Buzz Mackintosh, Andrea Bedard, Patricia Kennedy, and Mike Cooper, Broker VA,WV with his wife and granddaughter. Bridget "Mortgage Mama" McGee was with us as well and I believe that she needs to get more active again in the Rain, so everyone should visit her blog and encourage her to do so, haha.

My trip is over so there are no more meetups in the near future, so perhaps for my next two gratitude posts I will blog about previous meetups which I might not have blogged about right after they occurred, we shall see, haha. I know many of you enjoy seeing the photos from AR meetups!!!

Hmm, perhaps it's my smile Hannah Williams and everyone just wants to see it in person to verify that it is real, haha.

Hello Brian AKA Mr MeetUp - congratulations on the success of your ActiveRain East Coast Tour. And it all fits nicely into an AR November Challenge post. I hope your business meetings were beneficial too.

I am so happy you were all able to get together! If the timing was right (a few days later), I might have been able to join you as well - since I'm in MD at the moment. Maybe next time!

I don't always feel like it is a good life Endre Barath, Jr. but you are right, I do have a very good life and I need to always be grateful for it, not just sometimes, haha.

It seems that the theme this year for me with the gratitude challenge is meetups Michael Jacobs so since we didn't take a photo during our most recent meetup, can you text me a selfie of yourself that I can use for my next post?

Brian England - I'll respond with your usual HaHa. My photo skills are limited so self-photography has never been in my wheelhouse. 🤳

Wow, that would have been so cool Kat Palmiotti since I don't see myself making it up to Montana anytime soon. Such a bummer that the timing did not work out, but I have a feeling that we will eventually meet in person.

Hello Brian,

Embrace your role as the "Mr. Meetup Dude" for AR and cherish those moments with your fellow meetup enthusiasts.

As for me, you won't catch me blending into a bustling lunch crowd anytime soon. If anyone seeks to find me, venture to the tranquil Olympic Peninsula, glide through the waters in a kayak, and commune with the majestic whales. Haha!

Hi Brian:

That must have been a fun time with great conversation and food...and some wonderful AR folks. There were several Rainers at the meetup that I've yet to meet but I have no plans to be in or near DC in the future.

I would love to have a meetup where you just described Aura Alex that sounds amazing! I am fine with being the AR Meetup Dude, so if anyone is coming to the valley of the sun, they can feel free to reach out and I will organize a meetup that includes the other AR Peeps in the area!

Everything was so perfect Jeff Dowler, CRS and I was very happy that so many people showed up! It was a big enough group that I had to make a reservation for us ahead of time, haha.

There is a chance of that happening this winter Brian England . If the winter here is harsh enough I'll be in your neighborhood to visit my best friend.

I am sorry I missed you when you were in the area. As it was, the training came in handy, I had to chair the first meeting of the Housing Opportunity Committee.
