Michigan Meet Up July 2012

I woke up in the middle of the night more than a few times before the big Michigan Meet Up.  I don't know why I get so nervous. Okay, I do - I'll be honest with you here...I knew the next day I was about to meet up with some pretty amazing blogger friends and I'm pretty much starstruck.  To meet the person behind the blog just makes me get all jittery. 

Then I get there, and once I see the smiles....

...I forget about my butterflies!

I learned so much from these people!!!!  We talked about networking, some blogger do's and don'ts, and lots more!  You can tell this was put together by some very organized teachers...LOL!

And look what I won!!!!

I had some dental work done the day before. I was so afraid that my tooth was going to fly out of my mouth and into somebody's froo froo coffee so I did a lot of listening and not much talking.  You don't know how hard that was for me...

I'm pretty sure you're already following most of our blogs, but there were some friends there new to blogging {and a couple that I hope caught the blogging bug..BARB!} so here's the roll call:

Front Row:
Kimberly @ Funky First Grade Fun
Bethany @ B2 Squared Learning
Katie {A new to Michigan friend who I bet will catch the blogging bug once she lands a teaching job here!}
Kate @ EduKate and Inspire
Erin @ Kleinspiration
Karla @ Teach With a Smile
Maria @ Be the Difference
Patty @ Second in Line

Back Row:
Rich @ B2 Squared Learning
Nan @ Third Grade's a Charm
Me
Barb {You know "The Barb" who I mention here and there in my blog?  I think she *may* have just caught the bug...I'll keep workin' on her!}
Marquin @ Writing for Wrinkles
Christina @ Bunting, Books and Bainbridge

I can't wait to do this again! But watch out...my chompers will be in working order!
