Sudden tensical change allowed?

Hi. Would you say that for these cases going from a context that has a past sense to present sense is OK?

1. HI. I thought I would send you an email, so I am sending this one. How have you been. How about getting together one of these days? I know it has been snowing for about a week continuously but being cooped in a room studying all day is not good, I think, you need to get away once in a while and take in some fresh air.

2. Hi. I always liked the idea of having an informal meeting once a month since it allows (allowed?) us to exchange information, get valuable advice if needed, and mix and mingle with the people in the group. The once-a-month meeting has served well over the last few years and I expect to see the tradition continue many years to come.

(A slight variation of no. 2)
