This weekend was ah-mazing and just what I needed after a bad horrible week! Amber and I started our blogger meetup on Friday by heading out to meet Elizabeth who we both felt like we had known FOREVER (but had never met!) We all began our blogs around the same time and continued to keep up with each other. Only at a blogger meetup would you ask to spend the night at a strangers house because you KNOW them, even though you have never met! As Amber and I pulled into Elizabeth's driveway we were very excited and kept saying, "its going to be fine. We know her!" Well as soon as she opened the door, she was exactly like we knew she would be! We spent the evening drinking wine (2 bottles to be exact!), chatting about school, and discussing the fact that all our real life friends thought it was strange just plain weird that we would meet up with people we only talk to on the computer. The running joke was that Amber and I could have tied Elizabeth up in her sleep!
Rebecca at Landing in K did a great job of putting everyone's name and blog in, I am borrowing it!
Make sure you go follow all these awesome ladies!!!!
