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!!
