It came & went

This is the only picture I have of the night, taken in our dirveway before we left. BUT the fabulous Ashley should have a picture up soon of us (taken by her fabulous hubby), so I'll add that one when I can :)

So the big night was on Friday. The girls' work was AMAZING! I was really impressed! I knew they were amazing but they did such a great job with the pictures for the show. I was definitely proud of them!

As you know I was really excited about seeing Colleen again and meeting Ashley. I also got to meet their hubbies! :) They are SUCH nice people! I was a lil nervous seeing them because it'd been so long with Colleen and obviously having never met Ashley before and you know what they say about those internet people ;) But they were all just SO great! Ashley was so sweet and it just felt like we had known eachother for awhile! It's not very often that I meet someone so genuine and classy and I know that that is exactly who Colleen and Ashley are - what you see is what you get! I love that. This world could definitely use alot less shadiness, don't you agree?

My fave part of the night (other than seeing the girls) was when Colleen was introducing me to her husband, Kyle, and he said "oh I know I've read her blog". haha that was just so cool to me!

My least favorite part of the night was leaving before I got to meet some of the other bloggers that showed up that night. :( Especially these three girls. I am shamelessy addicted to reading all 3 of their blogs and from those I know that they share those same great qualities that Colleen & Ashley have!

But we WERE on a date night and my hubby had been so sweet in agreeing to accompany me so I knew that I needed to follow through with my end of the bargain - get your mind out of the gutter people I'm talking about dinner & Best Buy! ;)

Anyway it really was a great event and I was so happy to have been able to show my support!

Great job girls!!!!

Excitement! Major Excitement!

Have you heard the exciting news?

1 gal from high school, 1 gal from the bloggy world, both fantabulous photographers and they're coming to B-town to show off their work!

I am sooooo excited for both of them. What an amazing opportunity. But like I said on Ashley's blog (and maybe Colleen's too?) I am also so excited for ME haha I have such fond memories of Colleen from high school but it's been I think 8 years since I've seen her and now I get to rub the lil LBS bump too!!! And Ashley, oh man meeting Ms Ashley is going to be like meeting a celebrity! Not to mention that some the other bloggers that I am guilty of stalking are rumored to be coming out of the woodwork for this shindig! It's like a lil bowl of bloggy heaven!!!! I can't wait! I've got the babysitter booked and the hubby (with his credit card) on notice! We are SO there! Here's the deets cause you DON'T want to miss this!
