QUESTION FOR THE OLD TIMERS OF THE BOARDS...

Another young lady that I did not mention, that is worth mentioning is Jenbaby, don't think I forgot about you. Our friendship is new and it is growing and I look forward to many, many years of friendship with you outside of the board.

Yes!
For me that person is Suzanne! I knew it from seeing her posts and the more we talk (and go to lunch), the more we realise we have in common!! I love you girlfriend!!!
I also feel a deep connection to Shamma..whom I've only met once but will be seeing in the very near future. I can't wait to see you!!
Of course though-I've felt a warm and embracing connection to most of the women on here! You have all been fantastic to chat to, to listen to, to live and grow with! I love ya all!!

Here's who i love, wether I met you or not:

Shamma-I love our blooming friendship!

Teri
Diane
JennRenee
Anna
TammyJill
LeeLee
Jeanene
MICHELLE W
Swags1016

and really ALL of you special ladies!!!!!!!

I have a special place in my heart for all of you, you have all been nice, helpful and thoughtful through my almost 2 yrs on here.

Hey wait, its my 2 year anniversary on LIW !!!!!!!!!!

Jenn.....

Happy 2 yr anniversary!

OK..I was hesitant to answer this at first for the exact reasons Shamma stated. But what you wrote makes sense so I figured I will answer it anyway.

I think everyone on here already knows how close Marni and I are. I have yet to meet her which is so ridiculous already but in finding her I have found one of my best friends ever! We share everything with each other whenever we get the chance to and I know when we do meet, it will be exactly the same. She is one of those people who are your soul sisters. Love you Marni.

Jenny11.9 was and is my wedding soul sister..got married on the same day and we didnt talk much before our weddings but since we have become wonderful friends and I have no idea what I would do without her!

I also knew 04bride before the boards..went to hs together and found her again here and I am so happy for it. I think we will always remain close now.


I also love..
Jennbaby
TammyJill
Irishtracy
Christinec68
Swags
Heather

I am sure I missed someone and if I did, I am so sorry. You can kick my butt! LOL

Jennbaby...i LOVE you right back

OMG Noreen how did I forget you? See this is why I wrote all

NOREEN my girl!!!!

ACK! I knew I would forget someone!! DIANE!!!!

Well, as an old timer, I guess it is sad to say that I could count on one hand the number of ladies I have met from LIW (and the Okey Dokey crowd knows who they are!).

Ever since I switched to my current job in Feb. 2002, it is virtually impossible for me to post that often, and most often by the time I get home, hubby wants to spend time with me. I am also not a late night person, so I rarely get on the computer after 10 or 11 p.m.

That said, I am always interested in going to a GTG to meet some of the ladies I feel I would have a lot in common with and get along well with. However, the GTG's have almost always been too far, or I have had conflicts and couldn't attend.

I will say one of the first person's I formed an online bond with was Marni (and it was actually over at UW). And we have never met, but she is the sweetest person!!

I don't want to mention any names for fear of insulting anyone, but I think that the ladies whom I feel 'close to' know who they are, and I can't wait to finally be able to meet them one day!

I feel like I miss soooo muuuccchhhh by not being able to get on LIW all day. It just bites!!

JennRenee...I was waiting......

Right back atcha

I've only met Jamie (Swags1016) and it was very briefly the morning of her wedding, but I'd definitely like to get to know her better. She's got a lot of the qualities that make a good friend. Hopefully we'll get to spend time together soon Jamie! We were supposed to get together tonight, but I'm half-blind with a migraine, and just typing this is killing me.

There are others I feel an affinity for that I'd really like to meet soon, too:

Noreen, Cindy, Jennbaby, Sassy, all the NYPD wives, Misty, Shamma.

Jen_N_Dale, I'd love to see your wedding album someday, my photographer buddy...

There are others I'd like to meet, too!!

Definitely Teri & Erica, we've gone beyond the wedding talk. But if Erica doesn't get to SF before I leave, I'm scratching her off my list.

I also love everyone I've met so far and would hang out with them again anytime! Lisa Rose, Kathi, Niecey, Cira, Amy, Christine.

I'd love to meet and think I could easily become friends outside the boards with:
JennRenee
Shamma
Heather (heatherandnick)
Claud
Jessica (jlf41 - my dress twin!)
Sonicstef
Lara (misty)

There are so many of you that are my friends, and I want to meet you all at the 2004 GTGs.

Also wanted to add Michelle - she doesn't come on anymore since her wedding but we got together a bunch of times when we were both planning from SF.

It's hard for me to answer this question because I really love a lot of the girls on here. Whether I've met you or not ... I've been on here for 2 years and at different times, I always felt a connection with someone, sought your advice and appreciated your guidance. So, I don't want to leave anyone out.

But for you Shamma, I'll try to answer. I've developed an outside (meaning aside from LIWeddings) relationship with Mickeya1a who doesn't visit the boards frequently. Besides her, I absolutely love JennRenee, Bearsbabe (Deb) and Anna. I also feel close to Shamma, Teri, Erica, Niecey, LisaT, MichelleW, Claud and the other LI girls that I met: Lisa Rose, Kathi, Christine C68, Christine 1221, Wendy, Diane and Suzanne.

For those that I haven't met .. I'd love to meet stacedz, Sara, jenny11.9, FranM, DeniseMang, Valenia, ss2002, Trish, and Heather.

Do you think I have a long enough list????

WOW - I have met and become friends with so many Newlyweds! I consider friends and talk to off the boards - TammyJill, Suzanne, Swags, Marni, Noreen, and Jenn.

I've emt and would love to get closer with Shamma, JoesLauren, Cira, Wendy, Helen nd LisaRose.

There are quite a few other ladies whom I haven't met yet that I woud love to get to know LisaT, ChrisitneC, IrishTracy just to name a few....

I feel closer to Jennbaby and Swags online than I do anyone else on the board, not for any specific reason other than the fact that I had a great time with them at the Cruise GTG.

But my real-life friend is Michelle W. She's my girl and I'm going through some major mourning for her loss

Teri

I know this is so hard Shamma it's like asking a mother who their FAVORITE is!?!?!?

I love you all, I love you all more than life itself... (Ozzy)....

Karen

I didn't want to admit to being an old-timer but I guess 20 months of LIW counts me in! I would definetely say I look forward to meeting LisaT - I think we would have alot in common

My job/school thing just doesn't leave me the time to post as much as I would like. So I am sad to say I haven't had the opportunity to get too close with that many of you ladies. But I am dying to get to the next NW get together so I can put real faces to the names and have some fun memories to share with everyone.
