 Stefanie .. I encourage you to attend one of the events ... I always enjoy them especially getting to meet and actually speak to people that we have only met online ... the people were just phenomenally awesome and IMO are who drive the events ... along with Kim the awesome event coordinator and so many others.... I have not regretted going to any of these...

Thanks Laura ... I had tons of fun indeed ... and the best part was being able to forward a huge box of clothing in all sizes to give to the clothing exchange before my arrival ... I did not want to bother with check in bags at the airport... I just laid the stuff out on a back table off to the side in the Clothing Exchange room on Friday evening and on Saturday morning they were gone WOOT! it makes me happy being able to share ..

Thank you all! I just got back to Connecticut .... it is rainy and cold but the warmth of my family makes up for it ... I loved that Atlanta weather though LOL...

The package shipping worked out awesomely ... the package was there and taken to my room ... I bought several awesome dresses/gowns and casual clothing ranging from sizes 3x to 5/6 ...

I have to get myself together for work tomorrow ... and I am glad I had this awesome weekend with OH friends.  I hope everyone makes it back home safely...
