I mapped it the other day when I found out where Ashley was moving. I'd love to come visit and meet up with both of you, but it would have to be a bit more central. According to mapquest, Ashley is 6.5 hours from me. I could easily to 3.5 to 4 hours. I think that Selissa is closer to me as it is more a direct route.

But, I agree - weekday. Let's see if we can't find a location and then set a date!

What about Springfield? That's about 4 hours for me, I think close to Selissa, and probably an hour and a half for you. Selissa, is there anything to do there?

Ashley, I agree that maybe we could meet up! Cathy is very nice, I have spoken to her a few times about selling my slings for others mamas in need. do you go to play dates or are you in PAT or anything around here? They are really great! We always go to the park, by the barracks if you would like to sometime? Thanks,Laura
