Here comes the Active Rain Friendship Ball.

It got passed along to me by my friend Brian Block from up in Northern Virginia.  After reading Brian's blog posts for a long time, we were finally able to meet in person at Inman Connect in San Francisco.  Brian is a very cool dude - he is the winner of the Makeover to Takeover Competition here on AR and he is also a ballroom dancer....a lethal combination! 

The object of this game is to tag two people and send them this FRIENDSHIP BALL.  Then they get the honor of passing it along by copy and paste and writing something about the people they tag.

Wow - who to bounce it to??????

My FRIENDSHIP BALL is being bounced along to Justin Williams and Tom Plant.

I was introduced to Justin Williams by Naoma Doriguzzi, my good blogging friend from Wachovia Mortgage (who is no longer allowed to blog...read my blog for details).  You may know Justin here on the 'Rain as "Just-in-Time Loans".  After spending time at Homes.com, Justin just returned to the mortgage business in March and Naoma introduced him to ActiveRain.  Justin is now the in-house loan officer in my office and the agents adore him!  He's a knowledgeable loan officer who NEVER says "No".  He is eager to share his wealth of blogging, SEO and internet capabilities.  And..to top it off, he's young and cute and bought the office lunch yesterday!  Need I say more?

After "meeting" on Active Rain, I had the honor of meeting Tom Plant in person at Inman Connect.  Since I was am Inman "newbie", Tom took me under his wing and showed me the ropes, introduced me to people and in general, just hung out with me (actually, come to think of it, maybe he was just stalking me!).  Tom is a successful agent from Murietta, California and has a very pretty house (he showed me a picture of it on Streetadvisor.com).  Tom is also an Active Rain Ambassador - which I believe gives him the task of following pathetic new people around conferences (like me!).

So, there you have it.....my ball has been bounced from coast to coast!
