So that first blate...was amaaaaazing.
Y'all know how people say "when you know, you know" about finding your true love? Well, at the risk of sounding nuts, that's totally how I felt about my blog friend-turned real life friend.
I was fortunate to be able to meet Julie from The Smitten Mintons as her and her husband were driving through town. Julie and I clicked as soon as we started following each other's blog and have been dying to meet each other. We actually had a sleepover first blate and after calling our husbands to assure them that "she's not an 80 year old man, she really is who she says she is," we were off to dinner and nonstop chatter.
I really don't have any words to describe it other than perfection. We literally never ran out of things to say and it was a feeling of instant comfort and friendship. It was definitely that cliche "I feel like I've known you for years." There's something about bloggers that we just "get" about each other.
Julie brought her dog, Maisy. After a little bit of nerves on both sides, we finally allowed Maisy and my THREE dogs to play. And play they did. They definitely slept like babies after that.
Cashmere and Maisy checking each other out.
Finally REAL LIFE friends!
I kinda wanted to cry when we were saying goodbye...totally not fair that we live so far apart. We definitely made a promise to meet up again at some point in our lives. It's a must. Especially when we have babies.
Can y'all believe that is all the pictures that I took? #horribleblogger Julie got some really great ones of the pups, so definitely head to her blog and check them out.
Kudos to our husbands for trusting our decision to meet!
Love, love!

I think it is so precious that you had a sleepover blog date! I also love that your dogs got along! I can't imagine bringing another pet into our mix of 2 dogs and 2 cats, but it sure would make for some interesting stories!! Glad you had a great blate! :)

Aww how cool that you got to meet up and instantly clicked as friends! I've only met a couple of bloggers in real life, but some day I hope to be 'real life' friends with more bloggers... including you Megan! My husband would definitely want a background check first though. ;)
So glad y'all had fun!!! My husband would be asking the same questions!
AWWW!!! That is so awesome, Megan!! You girls are both great. So glad you had a nice time together! :)
There are quite a few other bloggers I just KNOW I'd be BFFs with in real life. It's so much easier to make friends through blogging than in real life! *sigh*
Jealous! Sounds like fun!
And wait a second - I thought you only had 2 dogs?! Or did I read that wrong???
How fun! i so want to meet another blogger! so not fair!
I am so jealous! I want to go on some blates! Looks like you two had a blast!
That is so awesome! and wait, you actually let someone that you had NEVER met before stay overnight at your house?? You have some kajunga's!!
But I would do that also. Especially if it was someone like YOU. Want to come stay at my house? I have plenty of extra pillows for you.
how cool!! I totally want a BLATE! love the idea. isn't it so neat how friendships can now be formed over a blog?! and to think they're legit? holy cow, that's awesome! SO glad you two ladies had a blast together. Y'all are adorable!
Ah this makes me want to go on blates SO badly!! (And I love that you called your husbands, I told mine I want to meet some bloggers and he's SO iffy about it haha.)
Sounds like an amazing time Meg!
YAY for blates! I love it! I want to meet some bloggers! :(
I'm off to check out Julie! :)
AHHH! I'm so jealous of this meeting! I am dying to meet you in real life (and some of my other blog friends), so this makes me look forward to the days when it actually happens!!!
how awesome! glad you had a great blate and that she wasn't an 80 year old man! :)
