I can't stand it - I've got to meet up with folks sooner than October or April of next year!!! 

I'm getting ready to do a Prom/AfterProm and if anyone is looking for a one day meet-up near Indiana, here's your chance.

I want something small, but I can wrangle up 10-15 Senior girls for a Trash the Dress/Senior session.    I planned on offering this to some girls there anyway and just shooting them all myselves, but if anyone wants to join me, you're welcome to.  

We've got a couple of nice parks here and a waterfall I'd like to get into.  I'd like to do this the 2nd weekend in June.  So far that's my next available week.

If I can get a confirmation of people that want to come by April 19th (Prom) I will know how many girls to recruite.

I found rooms in Richmond for $57.00/night (Super8) or $68/night (DaysInn).  I have one extra bedroom in my house that is open to the first taker(s).

I will arrange everything if there you're around and your interested.  LET ME KNOW and I'll start planning.

 Amy, I would be in if it weren't for weddings!

LOL. I know what you mean, I've got 2 between today and then, and we've got the bellies & babies seminar the weekend before.   I'm not taking weddings in June/July due to baseball & softball schedules.

Let me know if things change later on!

Oh and what happened to your curfew?

 I suck.

Hmmm, its so far to drive.... not sure if I can wing it.

ah man i would love to, but the only weekend I have is the 21st the rest are weddings...

I'm just pouting because you aren't coming to see me in a couple weeks!

No...really I just have 5 weddings in June, so I won't be going anywhere in June! LOL

You are welcome to come to Akron anytime! I have a guest room/office! LOL

I possibly may be in.    Let me check my calendar tomorrow and I will let you know.

Yeah, I know it's wedding season, that's why I'm not making a big conference out of this.  I wanted to offer this at Prom anyway, so I figured, why not invite others to join me? I know I have 3 or 4 girls coming who've been wanting to do this since the Christmas dance, but it was too cold.

WIll see what I can do and will bring Shandi if you want and we're able

Weddings here for me, too.  And a big fat preggo belly.  :(  Sorry hun!  I miss you!

This has got to be fate, or something.

My June 14 wedding just called, it has been postponed until next year sometime due to circumstances beyond their control.  So...mayne Devan and I could make it over after all!  I'd have to take it easy, but I'd love to come!  And you all could use and abuse me as a maternity model. :)

Oh Wendi that would ROCK.  It's so fate.

I figured I would open my house and studio up for a meeting place as long as it's not more than 10 of us or so.

I'll count you two in for the time being and let you know more after Prom.

I'll clear it with my OB next time we go in.  As much as I hate to drive, I've already been told that I can't fly until the baby comes, since I got so terribly sick coming home from Vegas.  Darn sick people in small, confined airplanes!!!  :)

Put us down for now.  I hate that the wedding was cancelled, but I would love love love to get together!!!  I'll be moving slower than I was in OH, and definitely not jumping in the air, but I am definitely going to try to make it!

Guy puking in his barf bag in the seat behind us....

Sounds absolutely amazing...after the airplane with no air I would enjoy a drive.

You know I hate to drive, but it is only 6 hours, straight East through Bloomington then Indy!  That's like going roundtrip to Des Moines in one day.  Did that last weekend!  Split, it might not be so bad!  Heck, we almost had to drive to Cincy!

bump for fun....We've thought of a couple of guys we might round up too, depending on how willing they'd be to participate.

Bellies & Babies is the 15th, that Sunday. 

Wendi - do you guys have a wedding the 1st weekend in June?  Or are you guys going to that seminar?

If you guys can only make it on the 14th/15th, I will probably just skip the seminar.

If anyone else is interested, there's 19 days to "sign up" so I can get an accurate count.  Thanks!

 Sorry Amy If it were the weekend of the 7th or 21st I could do it but I have things booked on the 14th.

Amy, are you talking May 31/June 1, or June 7/8?  May/June weekend is open, but I have a wedding on the 7th, and again on the 20th (and then it is over until the baby comes!).  I am not sure if Devan has anything scheduled, though.

What time is the B&B seminar?  Is it something you could still do if we left late morning/early afternoon?

I was planning the 14th/15th.  I have a Relay for Life to cover the May/June weekend.  Bellies & Babies seminar is in Peoria, IL at 5pm on the 15th.  I could make it but it wouldn't be a very nice seminar after shooting and meeting up that weekend.  I don't mind missing it. 

Let's see how much interest we get by prom time.  If it's just me, you & Devan we can figure something out on our own.

Hmm...we will have to drive right through Peoria to get to you!  I'll probably need to head home at a fairly early time Sunday (meaning after 11 since I like to sleep in but before, like, 2), since I will have to work the next day.

Yeah, maybe we'll just make it about 4 hours on Saturday.  That way we can party Friday night (are you gonna drive friday night?) and Saturday night and then I can make B&B Sunday night.

 Since you're meeting in our back yard, I'd think that we'd at least be able to come over on Saturday... I don't think that we've got a wedding that weekend.

Sounds good Matt!  You're welcome to stay Friday or Saturday night - like I said I've got an extra bedroom with a double bed.  First come first serve. 

 That's 6 of us so far folks! Jump in!
