{Day 334}

“I’m so excited!”
“People will think we’re crazy if we count down the days.”
We didn’t care. We counted down anyways to the day we would get to meet.

All it took was for one comment to join a west coast girl and an east coast girl. Just one post to weave two stories into each other.

Rachel had left a comment on my blog and I randomly (although not randomly at all if you know what I mean) had checked out her website and read about her. So after months of reading her blog and wanting to contact her I wrote her an email. Thankfully she wrote back right away. It was the 27th of December 2012. After exchanging a flurry of rather excited messages and several hours of skype we realized that Rachel would be flying to the west coast in less than a month’s time. In that moment my mind was made up. There was no way I was going to pass up the opportunity to see Rachel in person when she was going to be three hours away. Well this past Saturday my sweet mum and I made the trek up to Seattle and back just so I could meet my new friend. And it was completely worth it! Not only did I get to spend time with my mom on the mini road trip but Rachel and I spent time tiptoeing around the library dressed in tulle. Did I mention that we planned a photo shoot together? We did. And those pictures will be coming to the blog very soon and then I can officially introduce you to my new, lovely friend. I’m so thankful to have met Rachel. Getting to meet wonderful people through my blog never ceases to amaze me. It wasn’t so bad laughing and smiling all day and playing dress up either!
