Hi bees!
I just moved (from somewhere else in FL) to Leesburg. I don't know anybody here, and we're going to be here for ten months (until next April). I'm lonely and I need some friends!
I'd love to have a hellobee meet-up. I'm going to be in Orlando this week (Wed-Sun), but I'm open as far as times and dates and locations go.
Anyone? Even better, anyone near Leesburg?

If you're really bored, it's only a 24-hour drive to Porter 
I hope you find some locals soon. Hope you had an easy move!

I'm more south in Fl but would love to get a Florida Bee thread going! And Orlando is somewhat central, could be a good meet up location

@Mrs. Twine: Haha, I totally would.
I'm scared of this winter. My mom and sister are leaving soon (my mom has been here since a month before Vi's birth), and DH is working all the time (and can't do anything about it).
I have SAD (yes, I'm aware of the ironic nature of that acronym), so adding a bunch of loneliness to an already difficult season equals... something not good, I'm guessing.
I might start writing to you as therapy. And decorate the envelopes with washi tape. I've always wanted to do that, but I never send physical letters to anyone.

You and your family are welcome here any time. We have a small apartment style house across from ours that is nice for guests so they can have their own space. I bet you will find some wonderful friends so that your winter is as happy as it can be. And letters are always welcome (and reciprocated). Do you use a phototherapy light? I don't have SAD, but I have a close friend who does. She really feels the light helps.

North Central FL bee here (Gville). Would love to do a Florida meetup and central is ideal! Hope your move went smoothly and you can find some fun community activities that might help you meet some local mamas:)

I'm in Orlando! And work from home, so I'm also looooonely. No idea where Leesburg is though- we live on the west side of Orlando. Count me in if it's not during the work day!

I am in North Florida so sadly a bit too far from Orlando. I'd love to meet you all in person though!

@Arden: yayyyy Thursday!!!!
@T.H.O.U.: I just did an order for FAMU and was thinking they'd need me to go up there but they didn't! I have been going to Jville a ton lately though. It seems to always be in phases, so weird. I will keep you informed!
