2 Bloggy Friends MEET

I have been trying to connect with my bloggy friend Alison RDH Mom for a looooooong time. Yesterday we went to the SF Bay Area to help my in laws move. So since we were in her neck of the woods we made plans to meet at a Starbucks. OH my goodness, she is FUN!! From the moment we met and hugged the non stop chatting and laughing began. Big Daddy was with me and he really enjoyed himself too. RDH Mom is adorable. We really enjoyed getting to know her as she shared her heart with us. We clicked instantly and i knew right then and there that we would be forever friends. You know that feeling? Like you have known a person all your life and you have just reunited with a long lost friend? It was like that. I knew i would like her from reading her blog, but you just never know when you meet someone for the first time. She is darling! We spent 2 hours just talking no stop. I didn't want it to end, we could have stayed there all day. Have you been to her blog? RDH Mom shares her adoption stories of her two incredible kiddos that will amaze you. She has a heart of gold, she is a wonderful woman who impresses me very much. Alison is an awesome mom and we had a great time sharing mom moments with each other. J and her sweet daughter Cassie are the same age and have exchanged Good Mail a few times. After meeting Alison i just know that J and Cassie will click the same way we did. We need to get our families together, it would be a blast!

Alison shared her feelings on our meeting over on her blog RDH Mom. Go and tell her hello and read the kind words she said about me. Add this girl to your list of must reads, you will be glad you did!

Thank you Alison for sharing yourself with me. I can't wait for the next time we get together. You. Are. A. Doll.

Y'all are cracking me up about my latest Potty Talk post. Poop seems to bring people out of the woodwork. I guess that whole "everybody poops" thing tends to bring people together. Nice! I got comments from people I have never even heard from before. LOVE IT! You know what this means don't you? I am going to share more often. You. Are. Welcome.

Just a reminder...it is not too late to enter for my FREE Bloggy Makeover. Read the post, follow the directions and cross your fingers. The big winner will be announced on Monday in my Bloggy Business post!

Hi Girl,
I just stopped by...your posts always brighten my day...I thought it would be a quick trip, but now I see that it won't be so quick after all as I check out RDH Mom and your potty talk post! :-) Seriously, although it is a detour, it's a detour I'm sure I'm gonna love to make. And also seriously, how did I miss your potty talk post? And I finally got your message about the good mail so I'm all keyed up for that!

Jules said...

That would be kind of intimidating. I am glad you found a friend in a friend. We certainly can't have enough. :)

Yaya said...

That is so awesome!!!!
I know that feeling-I met up w/ the leader of the message board I frequent and it was just an amazing feeling! You have such a connection online and then to finally meet in person is awesome!

How wonderful, to meet a bloggy friend! I hope to meet a couple of people who live in my area - but life gets in the way sometimes. Good for you! I'm sure it was fun. And you probably feel like you knew her already.

My old friend from college is like this- we get together and it's like we never skipped a beat....and sometimes we go years without seeing each other. I have also found some great bloggy friends- maybe someday I'll get to meet them! We should all have a bloggy conference :)
