Blogoversary Eve...

March 11th, 2012 at 01:48 am

Tomorrow will mark six years for me here at savings advice. WOW. Each year, on the eve of my blogoversary, I send out an invite to all of you who read the blogs, but have never signed up and joined us. (I believe the term is lurkers, but I have never liked that term...)

This is an amazing group of frugal folks...from novice to pro...I have gained so much knowledge from my time here.

But to me, more importantly, I have developed some INCREDIBLE friendships in these past six years. We have celebrated together, cried together, and saved together...I am hoping next month to meet up with one of our fellow bloggers when my daughter and I go to Boston/New York!! (My very first meet with a fellow blogger!)...and hope to meet another in July when she comes to the west coast.

For those of you pondering whether or not to join, I say with great confidence to do so...you will be supported on your financial journey!! And you might even make some great new friends!!

I love that I have a record of 1000 blogs for the past six years as my family grew with grandbabies...and with the final months with my parents...entries to remind me of the good times, and struggles, and events of daily life!

To all of our savings advice family...THANK YOU for all of the friendship, hugs and support the last 6 years...it has been AMAZING - and I look forward to many many more years to come.

Again...if you are thinking about it...JUST DO IT...we enjoy our newbies...and learning about you!!

    MM - I'll be in San Jose part of the time - my brother will be picking me up from there to go to his place. Smile So a San Jose meetup could work. Smile Second week of July.

    Im not sure which week Boomeyers will be in town...I will find out for sure..What fun it would be if we could do a group meet up!!!

  14. Thrifty Ray Says:
    1331488994

    I checked the dates and around the 14-16 might work for Boo too. I can do that weekend...Big Grin I will confirm with Boo and let you know for sure.

    Wait, so all three of you are going to be in Northern California in July? Seriously? Keep me in the loop!

    @FT - Maybe Napa is closer anyway. You guys are all traveling far, so just tell me where/when - I will be there! {I just assumed Sacramento since Ray's son is here now?}.

    Happy Blogoversary! I took a long "vacation" from posting, but would love to meet, too!

  17. Thrifty Ray Says:
    1331495416

    I can fly into Oakland/San Fran really cheaply and then rent a car..so Im in...

    Swimgirl, are you in No Cali too?

  18. MonkeyMama Says:
    1331497597

    Swimgirl is near Sacramento.

  19. Swimgirl Says:
    1331501251

    Yes! I'm near Sacramento!

    I'm pretty flexible with my dates - haven't made any reservations yet. I'd been planning on visiting my dad (S CA) June 30 - July 8, then my brother July 9 - 13, but I can easily add a few days to my brother, or go see my dad a few days later ... I'd love to meet up with ya'll!! Napa or San Jose or San Francisco would all work - I know my brother would be willing to take me wherever I need to go. (Or I could probably get my Uncle to do it, or possibly borrow a car ...) So ... whatever dates/places work best for everyone else, let me know. Big Grin Maybe we could meet at Ghiradelli's in San Fran. MMMmmmmMMM! Big Grin

    This sounds like fun! Remember to take pictures -- blurry, faraway, privacy-protecting pictures. Wink

    I'm coming up on mine next month, I think it is. I started not too long after you and always looked forward to reading what you wrote.

  23. Looking Forward Says:
    1331785626

    I'd be up to meet too if you all would have me. Smile I'm about an hour from San Fran, 90 min to Sac or 30 min to Napa.

  24. Thrifty Ray Says:
    1331831780

  31. Monkey Mama Says:
    1331910774

  32. Looking Forward Says:

    Swimgirl - Look north of SF and west of both Sac. and Napa.
