eating in real life

If you read my last post no I haven't really then I am happy to say I can cross # 10 off my list of haven't done's!
     
        10. I have never met any of my blog friends person yet!  But I'm hopeful :)

I received an e-mail from my friend Jenn over at the blog so this is love on Friday night. She was wondering how close I lived to Richmond and if I want to get together with her and her husband Casey Sunday morning for breakfast.  If you're familiar with Jenn and Casey they've been traveling around the country on a month long vacation together with Jenn's Mom and their dog Skeeter. I was so glad to hear they were around my area and we quickly made arrangements to meet.

Anyhoo, this morning was their final stop on a months long journey thru the country and we (my hubby and I) got to share a meal with them. We arrived a bit early at the restaurant to make sure we'd get a table being Sunday morning and all. Have I mentioned there aren't any real diners around here? A fact that my husband has grumbled about many times over the years.

My husband cracks me up sometimes, he wanted to know how I was going to know who they were if I'd never met them. Umm! Do you kinda get the idea he never reads blogs? That would be mine included so I don't really think he gets the whole friendship- pictures- flow of information that goes on between us bloggers. Anyway he may not read my blog but he must listen when I talk (there is hope ladies) because I didn't even get my bottom in the seat and he said "Jen there's a woman with a Maine sweat shirt walking thru the parking lot," and it was Jenn with Casey at her side.

Jenn & Jen

Did you ever just meet a couple and on the spot know that you liked them? I did today. Jenn and Casey are genuinely nice people. Did I mention we had breakfast together? he he! We talked over breakfast about their travels, our travels chit chatted about our lives. But what's truly interesting is our common life paths as northerners who have made the move south. And although their southern journey is new and ours began long ago, you know what? I think that their life is going to be great down here.

I really do ya'll..

  14. Oh how lovely for you Jen. Its so funny that it happened after you saying it was something you've never done. When I met people from my blog and twitter I thought they wouldn't recognise me with glasses on as I never have my photo taken with them. I had to wear them so I would actually see them coming towards me ,but I needn't have panicked as we met like old friends. Make one day I'll get to the good old USA and meet you.

  15. Thanks everyone for your comments. Things have been a bit crazy around here going back and forth to the hospital visiting my Mom. I wish I had time to answer you all individually like I usually do but I'm going to cheat today and just say this....

    I would love to meet each and every one of you in real life, really i would.
