I Met Ruth!!

And finally, I'm getting to the post that I've been waiting to write all week, but as per the norm, I kept getting distracted....

Last Saturday I attended a Bloggers Brunch and was able to meet several Manitoba bloggers in person. Heather Plett organized the whole thing, and she was every bit at wonderful as she is on her blog. She put so much work into the brunch including door prizes and fancy stationary. I'm so blessed that we have someone out here willing to put the work into getting something together for us. Every blogger needs a Heather in her town.

My favorite part of the afternoon was that I got to meet Ruth from "It's True Sighed Roo." Wow!! She is totally awesome. If it was an internet dating club, I would have married her. lol She has such a natural smile and kind mannerism that makes her personality every bit as magnetic as she is online. I talked about Ruth all night, while my husband nodded off to sleep.

I was also pleasantly surprised to find a woman from my church there. I didn't expect that at all. Apparently she blogs with some of the same women that I do. Who knew? :) If you want to meet her you can find Jobina over at www.thewestmans.blogspot.com

We did take a photo, so I hope that I can get a copy to post here soon.

thanks for sharing from your heart last saturday. we were all totally blessed.

i'm also thankful we live so close. maybe we can connect again.
