One of my biggest concerns when we relocated was how I will make friends. You see, I work from home full time so I don’t get to drive to the office and meet new coworkers. I wasn’t worried about the kids making new friends as they would be around their peers all day at school. I wasn’t worried about Kristi either since she will have fellow teachers to reach out too in her new job. If you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m a very social person and this was really a concern for me.
After relocating, I decided to start attending Meet Ups. A meet up is a gathering of persons who share the same interest as you. There are meet ups like the one I host for Disney, there are wine and cheese meet ups, there are techy meet ups. Honestly the topics for meet ups is endless. I will now share with you my FAVORITE meet up. It’s the monthly SANDWICH MEET UP hosted by Biggie and his blog Deli Fresh Threads.
Biggie, as he likes to be called, is passionate about sandwiches. In a most creative way he has turned that passion into an award winning blog and a fun small business. Biggie started his sandwich meet ups 4 months ago and I’m happy to say that I’ve attended all of them. Biggie invites us to a local venue (no chains), we will all order sandwiches. With that some great friendships are formed over the dinner table. Biggies invitation is open to the public, so if you live in the area or are just here on vacation, you are welcome to join us. If you are interested in getting Biggies invites, make sure you follow Deli Fresh Threads on Facebook or follow @DeliFreshThrds on Twitter.
Remember I said Biggie has turned his blog into a small business? Well, that’s where I need your help. Biggie makes some of the most creative Sandwich Themed tshirts and I want one, but I don’t know which shirt to buy. Will you help me decide? Take a look below and leave a message telling me which to purchase.
