Midwest Meet-Up

KRISTIN! I didn't know you lived in South Bend(ish)... did I? That's where I grew up and where my family still lives. DD and I are up there every couple months to visit. We'll have to hang out sometime. :)

No way!!! I live in Goshen. :thumbup: We'll definitely have to hang out sometime... that'd be fun!
 
Who wants to do one? I'm in

Where do you live? Currently homeless, lol. Will be in KC(in April), then OKC by May

How far would you be willing to drive? 8 ish hours

Would it be just you or would you bring kiddos & hubby? depends on where it is and what we're doing and for how long

Would a weekend or weekday work best for you? weekend prefered

How soon would you want to do it? June/July work best for me, August would have to be early Aug.

If your meeting in KC I will so be there! Chicago I will have to look into it as its a bit far sometimes.
 
Oooh, I'd love to - even though I am SUPER shy and nervous in situations like that. Hopefully there'd be outgoing people there to engage me.
Where do you live? Southern Minnesota
How far would you be willing to drive? 8 ish hours
Would it be just you or would you bring kiddos & hubby? Probably at least hubby, but most likely kiddos too!
Would a weekend or weekday work best for you? Weekend - but my weekends are Friday thru Monday so I can be flexible a bit!
How soon would you want to do it? I don't think we really have much going on - it would mostly depend on my husband since I have no life. :p And I'm a chicken about driving in unfamiliar places.

I've been wanting to do a Chicago trip so that would be fun! Also, if anyone ever wants to do a mini meetup in the Dells or Mall of America, I'd be in for that too as we are pretty close to both (closer to MOA, but only like 3-4 hours from the Dells!)
 
Where do you live? Wichita, KS
How far would you be willing to drive? 2-3hrs (like to KC or OKC etc.)
Would it be just you or would you bring kiddos & hubby? probably just me
Would a weekend or weekday work best for you? probably weekend
How soon would you want to do it? anytime this summer would be fine

I'd love to come to Chicago but there's no way that would be doable for our family though. It would be fun for us Kansas girls to plan something though! At the very least us Wichita girls need to have another get together, I want to snuggle Libby's baby Chloe :)

I live about 45 min south of the city. (of chicago LOL)

Would a weekend or weekday work best for you?
weekday in all honesty but it really doesn't matter

How soon would you want to do it?
the sooner the better for me. emma starts school like aug 14 or something stupid early like that.
 
I wish I had seen this earlier, I SO would have thrown St. Louis into the pot, because that's about as central as it gets! But I could prolly do Chicago, too. (But STL!!!)

Who wants to do one? Meeeeeee

Where do you live? Just outside of St. Louis

How far would you be willing to drive? 4 or so hours

I would love to see Minneapolis. Chicago is a too far for me to drive with gas prices like this. Its 11 hours. Also August is totally out, I will be in Texas for training with the military most of that month

I could probably do the 18th

And Amy - we definitely need to connect!! I know of 1 other digi scrapper in des Moines but I have yet to meet her (I can't think of her username right off the top if my head - first name is krista)

We definitely need to connect Erin! I know of one other digi scrapper in DSM but she is not active at SSD. We have talked over email but never in real life! I'd love to have my own Sugar Babe in my backyard to answer all my digi questions!
 
I know you ladies wanna do Chicago in in July/Aug, but would any of the KS/MO ladies wanna meet up in KC in April? I know its a little soon, but if your free on a weekend? I'm finally coming back to the states and would love to meet up with any SSD girlies. :)
 
Who wants to do one? Ooh, this would be fun!

Where do you live? Southeast Kansas

How far would you be willing to drive? 4-6 hours

Would it be just you or would you bring kiddos & hubby? hubby and kiddos too since we only have one vehicle and I wouldn't leave him stranded at home without it for a few days... besides, they would love to get away too and could totally find something to do to stay out of my hair - also, like someone (Sara maybe), I hate driving in unfamiliar places so I let DH do that ;)

Would a weekend or weekday work best for you? - depends on WHEN... DH's schedule is all screwy right now. If its before school is out (May 22nd here) then I can't do it during the week.

How soon would you want to do it? Hmm... not sure when a good time would be... summer but then again we have so many waves of sports that there aren't many free times.

KC would be SO much better for me. Chicago is about 10 hours away and I can't see us making that kind of trip until next fall at the earliest. When in April are you looking? We have plans the first two weekends for sure. I'd love to do something in KC over the summer but it sounds like you'll be in OKC by then. OKC is like 5 hours from me where KC is 2.5 to 3.
 
Who wants to do one? Me!!!

Where do you live? In Illinois...just outside of the STL area

How far would you be willing to drive? 5-6 hours at most

Would it be just you or would you bring kiddos & hubby? Depends on when it is...weekday I'd have the girls, weekend, maybe not.

Would a weekend or weekday work best for you? Either. Weekday would probably be my preference.

How soon would you want to do it? Whenever is good...we're homeschooling so we can be pretty flexible :)
