Speaking of seeing friends, I had TWO chances this week to get together with two of my bloggy friends who I often see on the internet, but don't often (ever) get a chance to see in real life! (In case you were wondering, MIRL means Meeting in Real Life).
The night we arrived at Hubby's parents house, his parents were helping with a conference at a nearby church, so we stopped by to let them see the kids before they went to bed (totally random and unplanned). When I walked in, I saw Sarah's husband, and even though everyone else was wearing dresses and suits, I just had to go into the fellowship hall in my jeans & t-shirt to find her! We were able to chat for a few minutes, and it was delightful! If you aren't reading her blog, you should be! She and her husband have just gone through a great crisis of faith, and I have been amazed at how she has praised God even through this time of pain. Her faithfulness is such an encouragement to me!
Then, on Saturday, Erin was able to work me into her busy schedule, and we got together for some delicious coffee at Panera, and some wonderfully delightful conversation! :) She's even sweeter and funnier in person than she is on her blog! :) We had a great time talking, and laughing together, and it was such an encouragement to me to be able to get together and just hang out for a little while! :) We actually got a picture of us together, too, which I shamelessly stole from Erin. :) If only my eyes were open... :)
You definitely need to be reading her blog, too - she is an amazing writer, hilarious at times, but perfectly serious when she needs to be - she always either makes me laugh or draws me closer to Christ - sometimes both. :) I'm so thankful for these opportunities I've had to meet some of my internet friends in real life - what a blessing!!!

Aw, you're sweet. I'm glad you got to see Sarah too while you were out here. I see her around now and then since her hubby works in the same building as Art. :)
Oh how neat!! Love the photo! I am going to head over to your friend's blog now. {grin}
Aww so glad you got to see Erin and Sarah. Im blessed to be able to see both of them often.
Oh it is so much fun to meet other mom bloggers in real life. I have only done it at a conference, but soon I will get the chance to do it when we go to Texas to visit my family.
Looks like you had a great time. :-)
