Verizon #MidwestMoms Wrap-Up *sniff*

It's hard to believe how fast 2011 went by.  The second half really flew by for me personally.  It started to get that snowball feeling - you know, where you are moving along and picking up speed until everything is flying by in a blur? 


While I'm excited to start 2012 and experience all the great things it has in store for me, one thing in particular makes me sad to see 2011 end - the conclusion to the Verizon Wireless #MidwestMoms program.


I've loved being a part of this great campaign and not just because of the fun tech toys that got sent my way (although I certainly would never complain about cool tech toys!!).  I'm sad that the program is ending because I absolutely loved the group of women that came along with the cool tech toys!  I got to meet some great new ladies: one who won me over with a simple tweet saying she would share a ride from the airport and save me from public transportation, one who is a kick a** cook and will serve as my inspiration to put down the takeout menu once in a while, some that I had met before and was so happy to get to connect with again, and some who I had talked to online many times but never met face to face!  


Getting to meet and work with all of the bloggers in the program was a treat and I will miss you ladies very much!  I once joked on our FB group page that all new phones and tablets should come with a group of tech savvy ladies to help you figure out how to use them and it still rings true.  I have yet to actually read the owner's manual for my Motorola Xoom since I had all of you teaching me about the best apps and shortcuts.  Forget tech support - you guys rock!!


And I can't possible sign off from the program without giving a huge shout out to Verizon Wireless.  Getting to use your 4G LTE service was a treat - something that really has to be experienced in person to fully understand.  It's been a pleasure working with all of you and I hope we get to connect again in the near future!!
