Two B.O.O.B.s members get together!

Steve and I were hanging out with Sarah yesterday afternoon and it was like catching up with an old friend! (and yes, we were sitting in front of "Lucy Ho's", don't ask!) She is as warm, open and friendly in person as she is in her blogging! Sarah and her family are visiting St. Augustine this week and there was no way that I was not going to meet up with her as I live only 1/2 hour away! The best part for me is that Sarah has family in SA so she visits often! Yay for me...we will definitely get to visit more in the future.

We both shared our excitement (and fears!) about Chicago. We were both apprehensive about planning a whole weekend with a bunch of strangers, but the reality is, we aren't strangers, it will be like meeting Sarah and feeling like we've known each other forever! I have met up with Gail and now Sarah, Steph, uh, when are we going to get together?

I cannot wait to meet Sarahs husband and daughter and I have no doubt that we will be getting together again in the future! Steve was such a good sport and because I share with him a lot about the blogs I read, he actually knew of the people we were talking about. I told Sarah that her blog, Catherines and Amy W. are the three that I found first and because of the three of them, it has made my journey so much easier. Of course, with each blog that I followed after them, I continued to find great women and men who have also contributed to my journey and I will be forever grateful!

Sarah and I are both looking forward to Chicago and meeting all the rest of you! I am hoping that next year, we do it again in Orlando ! Maybe, in addition to B.O.O.B.'s we can add a group of D.I.C.K.'s (daddys including cute kids) to the group? No, ok, I tried!

Looking great! I know Chicago will be awesome. I am a bit too chicken to go-- plus I hate travel without my family.. I'm away so much for work as it is.
Have a great time!!

Awesome! I'm glad to hear Sarah is nice and not a serial killer or anything since I'll be rooming with her. :-) And I'm only 2.5 hours south of Orlando and would love to meet up with you lovely ladies and your D.I.C.K.S.
