When blogging buddies meet!

Very exciting day for me today! This is Jennifer! I met jennifer through blogging! We both participate in the Favorite Foto Friday. To show that there really are only 20 people in the world (or six degrees of kevin bacon if you prefer!)- Jennifer lives in the midwest- but her hometown is where I live! Chances are we at one point were driving next to each other or standing in line together and didn't know it! It took the internet and Sarah to bring us together! (thank you Sarah! And- we both found sarah through the same blog: Faithful Froggers)

So how cool is it that Jennifer is in town with her family this week for a visit and they were able to take time out of their schedule to meet up with us today at the beach! It was packed- but we found each other and the kids had a great time at the park play area and at the beach itself (though I got wetter than I had planned holding onto Maddie- why is it the child that can't stand to take a bath LOVES the beach/water?!)
The whole crew!
We hope the rest of your visit here in CA is great- you're going to some of our favorite places! The girls talked all the way home about their new friends! They also thought we were going to Jennifer's house when we left- guess they felt the party shouldn't stop! You know- this internet is an amazing thing! I have "met" so many people as a result of it that I never would have known! I hope we can meet again!

OMG, that is so cool. It is a very small world and the interent is amazing too. Even though the interent can be a scary thing, it can also be a great thing.

When I was working the other night at Gymboree this girl walked in with her 2 kids and I was like, they look familiar? I stopped her and said, you blog don't you? Of course at this point her face was like, ummm, yeah, and I said, I am on FFF and I read your blog! We put 2 and 2 together and realized which blogs we came from. I also get to see Sarah and Sophie shopping too...and also met them in Gymboree.

So yea, it is a small world. I would hope someday I could get to CA. and meet your precious girls. In the meantime, it's wonderful to follow your lives through blogging! Thanks for including us. Have a great day.

Christina... that is too cool! I just returned from Chicago over the weekend to meet my cyberfriends that have all been participating on a forum together for a couple years... the connection is amazing! After "knowing" them online for so long, it is so cool to finally meet in person!

Glad you had such a great time and that Heather and I were able to "hook" you up!!

That is great that you got to meet one of your blog buddies. There are so many Blog Friends I would love to meet, you included!

Oh and you are so lucky to live by the beach. We were just in Florida and it was so much fun to bring the kids to the beach.
