Virtual perfection!

My friend Shannon and I have mutually admired each other for a very long time now. We have followed each other through our blogs and through others' blogs and through comments on blogs! We have emailed, encouraged and learned from each other over the last several months.
But we had never met.

Tonight we changed that. We decided it was time to meet--and eat--and chat and get to know each other a little better--in real life! And boy--did we do ALL of that! We had a fabulous dinner--including cheese bread, wine and some sort of chocolate deliciousness--and we quickly realized how very much we have in common! We are each the oldest of five kids. We both tend to over-think things, love to journal, love to buy books (and sometimes we even read them) and we both LOVE to take pictures!
I attempted to get somewhat 'artistic' with the photo of Shannon above, but I am no match for her...she is an amazing photographer...and OH so good at her craft! It was such a JOY to meet Shannon tonight! Be sure to check out her gorgeous photography HERE!
