You know, I spent a lot of time thinking about it. Would it be a good thing to have all these people who are hurting in the same place. Are we too vulnerable that it could be a mistake? But I realized, we're the ones that want to make our marriages work and I would just love to meet you guys and gals out there. BTW, I'm in Woodbridge (raised in Annandale) but I'm a horrendous driver in DC, so some place in No.Va. would be better for me (but I'm flexible :-)) Some well lit, public place cause I really want to give WAT and OOOO a big hug cause I know they need it :-).

Hey, why am I the only one still using the old fashion smiley face (:-))? Can someone tell me how I can actually get the smiley picture in my posts that everyone else uses?<BR>I really hate being old fashioned :-).

JL - won't forget you. No date sent yet, but later June will carry some weight if you can be here then. Can you stay a weekend? I guess it doesn't have to be a weekend.<P>PlainJane - OK!<P>EyesWO - [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] When you post or reply to a post, click on the Smiles Legend to see the codes. Yep, could use a hug!! Early on when discussing this, SKM and I agreed that this should not be a therapy session, pity party, or a lonely hearts club. We intend to have fun (OK, this kind of therapy [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] )and just put faces with names. There will be safety in numbers.<P>WAT

Hey Guys -<P>I don't have much time to post. H and I just returned from a week (a glorious week) in North Carolina, and I have to un-pack and re-pack for a business trip to Las Vegas. I have to be up at 4:30 am - egads!!!<P>Anyway, I (and my H) are still in. The latter part of June is good for us, too, just give us a date (or two) and we'll go from there.<P>And, WAT, I've been reading up - trying to catch up on your story. And the first thought when I read one of your posts was "Lord, I'm gone for week and WAT's ready to drop off the boards." But then, I saw that you were back [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] yeah.<P>Let's get this thing planned. I'm ready to party! (Too much time with seagulls and seashells, I think!)

Dave,<P>As you know, I'm fairly far away, but will attempt to make it for the event, and combine a visit with my friend in the area. Don't plan it around me (because I'm a maybe anyway), but my best weekend would be the 23rd of June. <P>My dates are of course based on when I have the kids. But schedule it so it fits everyone around DC, and I'll see what transpires.

I can't get it to work (and I don't have disable smilies in this post clicked) I must just not be living right :-). Well, ya'll know what I mean when I say :-). Right?

I'm still intersted, Dave. But like I've mentioned before, don't plan around me, either. At this point, I'm ready to jump on a plane for whenever you plan the get together. The only weekend that would definately be a no, would be June 23. It's our 10th anniversary the 22nd, and I don't think that would go over very well.....

Hi, Dave! (and everyone!)<P>I wasn't around much when this thread first started out and missed it completely. I'm glad it resurfaced!<P>I am WAY inside the Beltway--looking at the Capitol Dome from my office window as I write--but still in NoVa. <P>Dave, I sent you an e-mail from the account I set up for MB: HBC@tough.com. It is notorious for losing stuff... If you don't hear from me soon, post here and I'll e-mail you from another address.<P>I travel a lot for work (who is taking care of the get together for VA Beach? I'm down there frequently)<P>All the best to all of you.<BR>--HBC
