So today I ran errands for a bit until it was time to meet up with my mom to pick up the kids. It was 99 degrees today and as you all know I HATE THE HEAT! So after picking up the kids I pulled into the driveway and got out of my car just in time to see an unidentified car parked in front of my house. The doors opened and I heard a cute blonde girl say "Are you Jill?"
Crazy. So Angie and Jenny showed up at my house just as I returned home (I still don't know how that timing worked out or where they pulled in from because I didn't see their car when I was pulling in the driveway.) I felt a bit scattered, but was happy to have their visit. They both came inside the house carrying their cameras! Angie was laughing because she didn't even grab her purse, she only grabbed her camera. (We bloggers have a way of doing that.) So we talked for a bit and then had an impromtu blogger tutorial. We had Landon take some photos of us in the front yard. At first I was in the middle of them, but decided the double stuffed oreo comparison was too obvious so I switched to the side (I still cropped the photo a lot). I still felt ridiculously huge, but am to the point of knowing that I still want the photos so I swallowed my pride and smiled. Thanks for the visit girls!This blogging community is so fun. It's a bizarre feeling to just be meeting someone that you feel like you already know so much about. It removes the awkwardness of meeting someone new and allows you to talk about real life right away. Interesting.
Pam is coming to Utah to take care of her sister's kids the 20th-28th for any of you locals that want to get in on an Eagle Mountain lunch visit, Michelle and I are planning on hanging out with Pam.
**What blogging "personality" would you like to meet?**
For those of you who've met each other at the blog
party, did you feel familiar and comfortable right away?

Double-stuf Oreo. You crack me up. I'm impressed that you are so willing to be in photos. I need to get to that point because I do want to have the photos, but it's hard to remember that when I don't like the way I look.
I can't wait to meet Pam, Katie, Lara, and Tasha. Oh, and I want to meet Georgia!
I laughed at the Double-stuf Oreo too!
I would love to be in on lunch with Pam- she comments so regularly on my blog! And since she doesn't have her own (could this week in Utah be the time?!! hint hint Pam!) it would be a great chance to get to know her!
LOVE that Angie and Jenny showed up at your door!
I think I would be too nervous to meet anyone!
Yeh, pretty much I want to meet everyone, since I only know Jill and have briefly met Amie. I even want to meet the bloggers whose blog I can't comment on (only allow fellow blogger to comment). It's weird that there are definately some that I identify or "click" with faster than others. The possibility of meeting some of the Ut bloggers is so exciting to me. (big grin and a slight giggle).
Too funny about the double stuffed oreo, my mom refered to herself as that when she would go walking with her two friends that are black.
What a fun visit. I love it.
I read a lot more blogs than I comment on, I think I would like to meet "book club Amy" and Jenn well and get to know you and Michelle better :)
If it makes you feel any better- I think anyone would look like a double stuffed oreo between those two! I'm with you.. I hate being in pictures.
I wondered if y'all would meet up while they were in town. It is probably good most of us have had a photo on line so you didn't think it was some crazy mugger (sorry.. lived in NOLA too long) at our door.
I am excited to meet everyone. Both Katie and I will be in SLC in October so I hope to maybe plan something for then. I think I would be totally nervous though- kind of like Michelle's blog.. what if they don't like the non-blogging me?
I so know how you feel Jill. Try being pregnant with one of them at about the same time. Not a lot of fun, but since they are the nicest people you will meet, I forgave them a long time ago for being so dang thin. :)
You are so funny- I wouldn't have thought oreo at all...
I loved meeting everyone at the blog party and enjoy their blogs even more having met them. I totally felt comfortable right away and bet we all could have stayed up talking all night. So very different than meeting someone for the first time and having to feel out what kind of person they are- a fast-forward friendship style.
I loved meeting everyone at the party- Maybe we need to have another one when Lara comes! But at someone else's house so Jill doesn't have to do all the work. I'm willing to wrok, but we can't have it at my house because it's too small and I lack a proper yard. Think about it people- let's do it!
I would love to meet everyone, but am afraid I would feel like the grandma of the bunch at the ripe age of 43!
I would love to have lunch with Pam while she is here!
