AZ Blogger Meet Up.

3.27.2011

Saturday was the culmination of my trip to Arizona. 
I was so lucky that Busy Bee announced the Meet Up on her blog and that it was so clandestinely scheduled as to let Kristine come before she headed over to Japan. 
I really wanted to meet her before she left so this meet up was the final straw in my decision to come to Arizona.

Reachel, Angela, Kristine and I met over at Lauren's cute house and then headed down to La Bocca in Tempe. 
We had a great time eating pizza, taking pictures, and sharing secrets about the future.
(This picture would have been so great had Mr. Wind not shown up, making me look like Farrah Fawcett and Lauren like... this lady.)
I'll be honest, when I pulled up to Lauren's I felt like I might pee my pants. 
What if I met Angela and Kristine and it was totally awkward. 
Afterall things like that can happen when you go from virtual to reality, you know!

But turns out they're all really great girls who were really easy to talk to!
Yay for blogger friends becoming actual friends!
Now if I could just afford tickets for a Japan visit...

What Exciting Things 
Did You Do This Weekend?

i had a nice laugh about that photo you linked to... lauren, i think i see a new hairstyle in your future. there has to be hairspray out there strong enough to keep your bangs sticking up that straight, right?

fun night. thanks again girls.

Oh Ashley you always make me laugh! Come back. My chinese zodiac 'snake' qualities are starting to kick in. But it looks like you had a lot of fun and you all look oh so cute. My weekend was pretty boring but I decided to not let it get the best of me, so I baked some pecan pie and Spinach soup. :)

Ashley Nielson said...

Wow! Sounds like everyone really had a blast and how exciting to finally meet up! Do they do this in California? Maybe one day I'll just have to go out there...I'm still new to this whole blogging thing, lol.

Busy Bee Lauren said...

It is now my mission to find a good hairspray that can achieve that style!

You all look fabulous! Isn't Kristine great? She's my friend's sister in law--her and her husband are so fun to hang out with! And I'm jealous you got to go to the land of the sun!! I miss it :)

This is so fun to see you guys all together after reading your blogs! Love it. The Farrah Fawcett picture could be straight out of a magazine, you all look so amazing.
