I haven't posted on here in forever but I've been faithfully lurking and following everyone's posts (I hope that's not creepy

). I was lucky enough to get woken up on Monday at 4:30am (as usual) by my toddler. About an hour later I saw the meetup was posted and after hyperventilating a little managed to get a quick e-mail sent in at 5:38am. And, I got in!

I am super excited, and extremely grateful for this opportunity but I'm really nervous too.
As a socially awkward introvert, I worry that I'm going to be standing alone the whole time. High school flashbacks, I guess! Any advice other than to get over it?
I also wanted to thank you all for all the great advice, support and positivity you've provided here. Although I don't post much, I really have learned (and laughed) a lot over the last year!
