1 Click - Friendship

You know on amazon.com, where you can sign on for 1-click ordering? Where in just 1-click your order is on its way to your house? Well, this post is about 1-click Friendship.

1-click onto a blog that started much more than I could have ever imagined.

Honestly, I cannot remember how I stumbled across it - I believe God's hand was involved! I do know that the friendship started with food - my first comment was left on a post about cookies - chocolate chip cookies - and boy, are they yummy.

As I kept visiting this blog, I noticed we had similar interests:

~She was originally from the east coast. (I'm on the east coast)

~She featured a lot of Southern Living at Home products in her posts. (I sell SL@H)

~She had two boys (I have two boys). And hers, now 3, are all so adorable.

~She featured a lot of wonderful looking recipes and shares her love of being in the kitchen! (I like to cook/bake)

~And, she has a super fun personality that kept me coming back for more. (I love to laugh)

~One pretty cool thing that we discovered through chatting, was that one of her college roommates went to high school with me! (This means she knows how to pick great friends!! Right, Lynn?)

So, what do you do when you meet a blogger that you have so much in common with? Well, you pick a date to get together when she comes into town and actually...MEET HER!!

(We even dress similarly!!)

Sarah, aka Short Stop, came back east for a visit last month and we set a date to meet at Cracker Barrel (what is it with me, bloggers, driving in the rain, and Cracker Barrel?)

She had arrived before I...ahem...traffic! But, when I walked in and saw a momma pushing a stroller and sporting a Vera Bradley bag - I knew it was her!! I sneaked up from behind and told her the bag and stroller were a dead giveaway!!

Sarah is so warm and bubbly on her blog - and even more so in person!!

It was like we had met like this a dozen times before. It wasn't awkward or strange at all.

Those who read both our blogs can probably guess that we had plenty to keep busy talking about - and we did manage to gobble up some dinner (and dessert) too!

When we left, we asked the cashier to take our picture. She asked if we were sisters and she seemed to enjoy watching the two of us interact with one another. What a special treat that she said that to us - it was just the perfect topper to the evening!!

Thank you Sarah for finding the time to fit me in to your travel schedule - I am just so glad that we could get together!! And, I enjoyed that I got some time with little Lincoln too!!

So yeah, 1-click friendship - a comment left on a post about cookies. And the following comments, emails and g-chats grew into something so much more! Thank you for your friendship, Sarah!
