Will be unable to attend the Walton Reunion this year :(

[Ryan James]

Hey all!!

Can you believe it's almost been one whole year since we were all hanging out in sunny California and running around Warner Bros. back lots soaking up all that wonderful sunshine and Walton goodness?!?!?! Such amazing times!

I was planning to attend this year's reunion as well, but as the date is getting ever closer I've had to make a decision on whether it would work it for me or not, and unfortunately it just won't work for me this year.

But don't let that keep you all from having a blast just the same!! I expect to see a lot of awesome photos and read all the stories from how it goes this year, Carolyn & Vicky do such a phenomenal job putting these weekends together for us and I'm sorry that I won't be able to be there personally to appreciate all the effort and dedication. But you all will be on my mind that weekend!!

I'm wishing you all safe travels on the road and in the air for those who are flying, and trust that many memories will be made!! I hear a young first-time reunion goer will be attending this year (jimbobwaltonlover94), so make sure to make her feel welcome and show her how cool we crazy Walton fans are!

This is such sad news It just won't be the same without you there Ryan

I will take your place this year and make sure I take millions of photos and will try to post as much as I can for you to see on fb

I was so looking forward to seeing you again Ryan!!!! Just can't tear yourself away from all of that ice cream & milk huh? You know you got a good thing going on & you're afraid to lose it.

Do you know how tickled the Walton kids would have been if John Boy or any one of their other siblings could have brought home from time to time some things from their job at the dairy? They would have to drive fast though or it would ruin/spoil.

Maybe you can send your converse shoes in your place.    Jane (MrsOliviaWalton) & I could take them around & take pictures of them enjoying the reunion, the Waltons museum, Ike's store, etc. We would make sure they got back to you!  All kidding aside, I do wish you could be there.

That's a good idea, we could do that haha

I was worried about whether I could go as well, but it's looking pretty definite that I will!

Will miss you for sure, Ryan.

Haha, your comments always put a smile on my face Kimberly! I'm sure I could get time off from work, just an issue with transportation and costs. but there's always next year, so fingers crossed I can share in all the fun!! and I'd be very tempted to send my Converse's in my place, but they like my feet too well.

isn't there any last minute flights you can get, you know? Maybe be a surprise guest? Is that what you are planning? You plan on being there and surprising us? That's it isn't it? HA!

Kidding aside though, wish you were coming this year... will NOT be the same without you, and I'm sure a lot of other members will agree with that
