IAPOMS: THE COOLEST THING EVER EDITION


The COOLEST thing happened while I was in Utah... well, other than seeing a brand new baby and my best friend ever and an actual Fall season... I got to meet Jenn (or Jennifer I guess, but I call her Jenn 'cause we're tight like that) from Grimmricksen which was pretty much the greatest thing ever.  My first ever blogger friend turned real life friend, and we got to share just enough time together (1 hour exactly) for me too thoroughly freak her out. I'm just a huggy person. Can't help it.


I really love meeting new people... I kind of revel in the initial awkwardness of the meetings:) Jennifer was such a babe, and I was so glad to have met her. She is not only astoundingly gorgeous, but also a feminist craftster, goofy mama, (good) book lover, and she is incredibly down to earth. I have a lot to look up to here. And, when I visit Utah again, she'll be the first one I call. That way we can spend MORE than an hour... y'know like an afternoon with coffee, and finger paints, and if we're feeling REALLY adventurous we can bake a german chocolate cake.


P.S. She also has a "wanderlust" tattoo that I secretly covet. Only now, its no longer a secret.


I'm finding it harder and harder to take myself seriously enough to snap an attractive picture of myself, so you'll just have to make due with these. I wonder why that is? I used to be a self timer professional.


Oh yeah, and he'res the proof we're now real time bffs... this is really the best one we took. Amazing huh?

Have you ever met anyone from Bloggerland? How did it go?

    I wish I could meet some of my blogger friends. I've met some of the most amazing women and I wish they could live down the street from me!

    New to the blogging thing so haven't met anyone else yet, however I am already friends with a few ladies who started blogs. Btw LOVE your teal dress! That fabric looks divine and so comfy, plus you look great obviously.

    I think you look gorgeous in these photos, taking yourself seriously or not!

    I'd love to meet some bloggers but I'm so, so socially awkward!

    I so want to meet my blogger friends...ASAP!

    Jessie from YGL lives in my town but we keep missing each other. Darn it.

    And I'd love to meet Jenn and talk books. You two were so lucky to share some time together!

    How fun! You both look awesome! :)

    But her kiddo! He looks about my son's age! I'd sure love to have an awesome Star Wars jacket for him! Oh. My. Gah. By the time I'd make one, he'd have outgrown the damn thing five-fold, haha. :)

    Yay! I had so much fun, even if it was only for an hour. Now you just have another reason to come back and visit Utah :)

    The first time I met a blogger I followed I felt a little stocker-ish telling them. Now that I've met a few and been told by others that they follow my blog it’s not so awkward. It’s fun finding new friends and building that blogger community!

      Isn't it sooooo neat to find articulate wonderful creative women and then have them appear in real life! The internet is SO amazing.
