Sounds like a wonderful meet & greet! Happy birthday CuddleBug02u! Wish I could have joined but I had a direct conflict with another important thing which took me to Calgary instead!
I had a direct conflict with another thing which happens only once a year!
Getting your prostate exam after you are 50 is important even if it falls on the socially awkward side of things.
@TheFunCartel too funny.

Awwww this feels like there was so much joy alongside plenty-o-shenanigans!!
Glad everyone got to have such a fabulously enjoyable weekend and I hope you feel duly celebrated this year @CuddleBug02u Thank you for being such a great organizer with @MissAdventurous and @OhioMike πππ

Next up Lake Lure / Asheville in October! See you all there soon π€
I wanted to say a proper thank you to the birthday girl & hosts for inviting me this weekend and for giving me the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful meetup. π₯°
I'm genuinely so glad I made the trip! I got to meet so many wonderful people I'd previously only known through a screen, forged some very real friendships, laughed an unreasonable amount, and even got to experience cuddling as an enthusiast with another Pro for a change β which was such a sweet experience in itself. π₯Ή
I came home feeling like I actually know people now instead of just recognizing usernames on a forum, and that's something I didn't realize how much I was missing until I experienced it. There are people I met this weekend that I absolutely intend to keep in my life, and that's pretty special. π
And thank you for the adorable little gift! The tiny pickle absolutely sent me. π βYou are kind of a big dillβ is going to live rent-free in my head now. π₯
It really was an experience I wouldn't have wanted to miss, so thank you for including me and for giving me the opportunity to meet everyone. π
P.S. β If anyone has the original group photo, would you mind texting it to me if you have my number? The forum version is pretty tiny and I'd love to have the full-resolution copy. And if anyone happened to get any other pictures with/of me that weren't posted, please send those too! No need to post them publicly β I'd just love to have them for myself.
