I am not suggesting that anything be scheduled around a particular person, but if Nancy doesn't go, I won't either. It is too far of a drive to do that by myself. I am out of the country 7/23-30 so the first weekend would be out for me. Her dates are above. I know the end of August might start conflicting with people going back to school.

When Nicci and I met yesterday at Salem Creek we had a blast! Such a fun meeting! It has made me that much more excited for our summer meet up. We talked with the ladies at Salem Creek and warned them that this summer we will be back with a crowd of ladies to invade their store. They seemed super excited!! They seemed to think that their owner would be honored that we chose their store to bring our VB girls to for shopping. They were able to give us a suggestion for a hotel and some things to do in the area while we are there. Salem Creek is gorgeous on the inside and a great place to take some group pics. The ladies working in the VB section said it would be more than ok for us to use their Vera room and beautiful stair case for photo opportunities! Nicci and I will be posting a poll soon for you ladies that are interested in making the trip to vote on a date. Right now we have narrowed it down to three weekends-one in June, one in July, or one in August. More to come in the next few days ladies!! Hope ya'll are getting as excited as Nicci and I were yesterday!!

Me too Allie! So far we have talked about shopping at Salem Creek (of course), a lunch, a dinner, bowling, maybe visting Old Salem (an old Moravian settlement), having an in person SVF swap, and of course the huge sleepover at an area hotel. We are also planning to get together a donation for the Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Cancer. These are just a few ideas that we are rolling around. Nicci has agreed to speak to the Foundation about our donation and how our friendships were formed by Vera Bradley and maybe get a little recognition for our group of lovely ladies! We are thinking of opening the donations for the Foundation up to anyone on the boards including the girls that will not be able to attend. I cannot even express how much fun we had talking, shopping and having lunch yesterday! It was so great to finally be able to meet in person and get some things going for the meet up

Squeeee! I'm excited for the two of you getting to meet (and a little jealous). I can't wait for the get-together!!!!!! When do we get to vote on a date? And the donation idea is awesome. Also, when do we need to make hotel reservations since there will be a big group of us......and how are we splitting room costs? Ok, I know I'm asking a lot that will probably be answered later, but I'm uber excited!!!!!

So Jamie and I kind of squeed and hugged when we first met. Can you imagine 20 women doing this in a hotel parking lot? lol!
Dates should be up soon. I think we're waiting on some last minute info from some of the girls.

I finally remembered to check our school calendar for 2010-2011 and our first day is August 30...so, as long as I have the $$, and barring being on vacation with my husband (who just recently expressed an interest in going on a dive vacation this August)...I will be able to come! Are we getting hotel rooms to have our big "sleepover" or are most people driving to and from the "meet"...LOL...? Just wondering about expenses...
