Well I would like inform you, Internet, that it is not always a disaster when you meet someone in person that you knew only through blog entries, comments, and emails! I did it! Today I had lunch with Carole. I recently stumbled across her blog on Heather’s “What I am Reading” list. I was laughing out loud as I read down Carole’s site. She was hilarious! But she only recently started her blog, so in a short period of time, I had read her entire site. Thirsty for more, I opened her “About” section just to discover that she is also from the Oregon Coast, Warrenton to be precise (which is just a hop, skip, and a jump from Seaside!). As my world slowly got smaller, I discovered that she went to school with Heather’s husband, Barney. As Barney and I were friends in High School, I actually attended his graduation. Which means, I attended Carole’s graduation! So while we did not know each other at the time, the world has been trying to get us together! So I did the only thing I could do: I gave into destiny. And it was totally worth it! Carole is even more entertaining in person. It was fun. (Thanks Carole! We have to do it again some time soon!)
Awesome, I’m so glad you guys finally met up! You should definitely see if your men get along so you can do stuff together as couples. 😉 You alwys said you wished you had more couples close to your age to hang out with. Here’s a perfect opportunity.
I had a great time too! The muffin asked me yesterday if it was weird, and I told him it felt really nice and comfortable, like meeting up with an old friend. Let’s do it again soon!
