Traci... that's a great
Traci... that's a great description of how it went down! Although I have to say, I missed Cats_Toys kodak moment.
It was such a wonderful treat to meet everyone! We couldn't have asked for a more gorgeous day, too. Vicki... I sure did enjoy your strut! Hugs to all my beautiful Sisters in Pink!
Love,

We had a great timeRE said:FUNFUNFUN
Oh Traci it was so wonderful, well worth the 7 plus hour drive to get there! I have posted several of the pics I took, loved meeting each and everyone of you! By the way I am typing from my hotel not home yet. After I left My Guy and I did some beach walking and just enjoying the rest of our day then went for a bit of dinner. Quite the day, will treasure them all!

Thank you everyone for coming. We had a great time together. Traci you are a champion of posting you did it while driving back .
Re thank for posting your pictures. I am glad that I had a chance to meet everyone in person and it feels like I have known you for long time.
Love,

However, TraciinLA--maybe your title should have been "What Happens in Long Beach, Stays in Long Beach!"
I am so happy you all got to meet (and a little jealous!)

Gals,
Loved the pictures and it looks like you all had a very great time. I hope if there you meet again that I will be able to travel and see you all. What a joy to be able to meet each other in person and to truly hug each other. Glad you did this and all had such a wonderful time.

I truly enjoyed myself .. meeting each and every PINKMarcia527 said:I looked at the pictures!
I looked at the pictures! Awesome! If I could have made it out there I would have joined you! Maybe someday! I lived in California for a year and someday will go back and see how it's changed.
WARRIOR .. was exciting, overwhelming and emotional. I am ready to meet again next month and so on.
I am willing to fly to New York (I've never been) found tickets for $158.00 round trip, I'll stay at a motel 6 .. travel via subway .. oh what fun! Texas or Flordia ..
It was surreal ... and the time flew so quickly.
CindyFlynn and Traci now both have sparklie, princess crowns!

I know it's hard getting used to different hair and a whole different body after all you've been through...but trust me when I say you look beautiful and strong and you sparkle -- in pictures AND in person!
Hug,

Pictures
anyone who wants to view all of the pictures I took (and hopefully added all the names!), go to my facebook page. I am Vicki Hilton....Yes, we had two Vicki's and one Victoria there...Traci and Trace too!
This was an actual reunion, no awkward "nice to meet you" dialogue, I think we almost drowned out the boat noise with all our laughter!
Thanks again to cindyflynn! and everyone who showed up!

a good time and looking so absolutely beautiful a person would never know the journey everyone has benn and is still on. I saved the group pic into my computer and now you will all go around on my screensaver. I feel this was a personal triumph for us all...hopefully down the road there will be more re-unions elsewhere as well. It makes me feel so much closer to all of you.
Hugs, Judy :-)0 -

Looks like fun! Glad youMoopy23 said:CA Sisters!
Traci, thank you for posting! Was wondering how soon we could start asking questions and looking for pics! I am so thrilled for you all. Next time, hope, hope, hope to be there, wherever "there" is. Looking forward to happy tales and photos in the meantime!
Wishing everyone a safe and wonderful rest of the weekend.
Moopy
p.s. Mmm...expecting our Cat to behave? You may have to dig out that boob photo!
Looks like fun! Glad you could all make it. Great pics. Talk about sisters, Aisling8 and Chen look like they could be sisters!

Still basking in the glow
of that wonderful afternoon. The time sure flew by quickly, didn't it?
I went from there to a Sweet Sixteen birthday party for one of my neices, and didn't get home until late last night. Today I've been trying to catch up on my weekend chores and getting ready for school, which starts for me next week (I'm a student, not a teacher), so I'm just now getting back online to check in with all of you wonderful ladies and gents that were there either in person or in spirit.
Traci gifted me with a pink, shiny, blinking tiara of my own, and I'm sure there are a few pictures of it floating around somewhere - Yes the papparazzi were out in full force. VickiSam, Sally5 (Merry), RE, and Chenheart all brought lovely momentos for us to remember the day by, but truly the most important gift was just the hugs and smiles and having the ability to connect live and in person with so many of my sisters.
As I suspected before we even met, this was such a success that there is no doubt we will have to do it again, so those that weren't able to make it in person - you WILL have more chances.
It is just hard to describe how full my heart feels to know that I am part of such a loving and caring community of kindrid spirits.
Cats_toy - I sent a friend request to you on Facebook so that I can see your pics. I don't go on there often, but I do want to see more pics! I'm also going to try to get some pictures posted myself.
Just such a wonderful, wonderful, day - Thank you all for being a part of it!!!!0 -
So glad your RE-union went
So glad your RE-union went well. Loved the pics.
