There are some people that you just instantly connect with. C.S. Lewis said friendship is born the minute someone says, "What? You too? I thought I was the only one!" And I couldn't agree more.
Madeline, Kiley, and I were long overdue for a meetup. I'll admit it. I was freaked out. It's one thing building friendships online, but it's another thing meeting the friends you've been talking and laughing with in person. I sat in Starbucks nervously looking over my shoulder waiting for them to show up. What if they don't like me? What if I'm awkward? I should have worn a different shirt. Why on earth didn't I do something different with my hair?! In the midst of my inner dialogue, boom. There they were.
My nerves vanished instantly. We hugged and started chatting and I felt as if I had known them for ever (cheesy but completely honest). I've got to say...it's so much more fun laughing with friends face to face. Since Kiley's camera is broken, we booted her to the front of the camera, and of course, she killed it. Sharing some of my favorite shots from the night. We ended our photo excursion grabbing some fro-yo and instagramming our little hearts away. Perfect start to the summer? I think so.
Happy Wednesday!

Thanks for sharing! I loved your song below - gave me chills.
ReplyDeleteI also appreciate your reference to CS Lewis' Four Loves book - I'm reading it now and especially loved his thoughts on real friendship!
It must have been so exciting to meet(in person)friends you met through blogger. I sometimes imagine what it would be like. I know I would be nervous and excited all mixed together. :)
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are lovely as always. Love the behind the scenes photos. You and your friends are beautiful.
Blessings!
~Madi
Beautiful pics!Loved the last few ones especially cos they capture those moments so beautifully!
ReplyDeleteOh my! You all finally got together! You all are adorable. Really. :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like SO much fun! I know what you mean about meeting someone from the online world for the first time, though! I definitely felt that way this past weekend, too, but once we met, it was an instant connection.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, but you already knew that. ;)
Those pictures are just TOO cute!! It's pretty weird to see you with Madeline and Kiley. :) It looks like you had a great time!! :)
ReplyDeletethese are so amazing! what a fantastic experience that would be to meet a fellow blogger. i'd love to do that someday. and hey, you three are lookin' gorgeous! :)
