One day a while back as I was creeping stalking reading one of Mandy’s posts, I saw a comment from someone that said they were moving to Oregon. Well, I quickly did some more stalking creeping research and made contact with Lindsey. Turns out she was moving to Eugene so her husband could start grad school. I tried to play it cool but, I’m not gonna lie, I was probably inappropriately excited to learn that a fellow blogger (and a pretty awesome one!) was moving so close to me. We quickly made plans to meet up once they got in and settled.
It was great to meet a new friend and nice to hang out with someone who “gets” blogging and that when it was brought up I didn’t get all weird and awkward and embarrassed about how much I actually like love it. (For the record, all my family and friends are supportive of the blog and even like it as far as I know, but it’s different when talking to someone who actually does it too.)
And the kids? Well they were typical 2/3 year olds that sort of played together and sort of didn’t. It was adorable to stand back for a few and watch them take turns pushing each other on the “rocket ship” swings. Then I about died from the cute when they hugged each other good-bye.
I know Ry had fun because later that day she couldn’t stop talking about Otto and telling Andy all about their adventure at the park.
But guess what…I kind of like this whole blogging thing and the awesome people I have gotten to know (and now meet!) over the course of the last couple of years.
I’m not turning in my blogging card anytime soon so, too bad for you…you’re stuck with me!
Thats awesome you met a new friend. I totally freak when I find people in Texas and then I read there blog to see if they are anywhere near me lol. I'm a stalker. Haha
I'm a blog stalker too! For instance, I stalk your blog! :) I think this is so funny because I keep trying the whole blogging thing but it just doesn't seem to be natural for me….I haven't even blogged about our Europe trip. I did meet someone who's blog I read (a friend of a friends) and it was so fun to visit with her but it was a little weird because I knew so much about her and her family and she knew nothing about me…..I so felt like a stalker. I love living vicariously through everyone and their kids!
i'm so glad you stalked me, haha! you blogger card gets a hole-punch or something, definitely not revoked. although we do *kinda* suck for not taking pictures. but just a little. i keep daydreaming of going to CostCo with you. so that is like way creepy, right? xxoo!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one! :)
Hahaha YES! Exactly…it is weird meeting someone for the first time and knowing so much about them. I'm glad you stalk my blog. :)
Ok, I'll settle for a hole-punch! And this costco dreaming is not creepy at all…in fact I was JUST thinking about it this morning! HA!
