A couple of months ago, I had the wonderful opportunity of visiting Ilene's blog. We began commenting on each others posts. I was so excited to find out she was moving to Boise and to meet her.
Today I met my first "cyber/blog" friend. Her darling family came over to dinner, and it was so fun to meet and talk and get to know one another in the flesh. She is as beautiful, sweet and fun as she appears to be on her blog.
To her friends she left in Spokane, you're right, she is wonderful and we will take good care of her here.
I hope to meet all of you someday that I haven't met face to face yet, but for now, I will be content at reading and being inspired by all of your posts.

I love the blogging world too! It's funny how you feel like you totally know someone through blogging. And then when you get to meet them in person- so cool!I'm so glad you got to meet our sweet Ilene. We sure miss her! I guess our loss is your gain. :( How fun that your families had dinner together. Take good care of her for us!
It really is amazing how it connects people.
SO JEALOUS!!!! I'm not sure which makes me more jealous....that you get to have Ilene in your life now or that Ilene gets to know you in real life. Either way I love how the blog brings us all together.
Wow! That is a really cool story. How in the world did you meet through blogging though? I guess I am not in the know about how that works. You look great Melissa!
It is such a small Mormon blogging world. You know I met Ilene at Blogapalooza? She is so cute. I even got to sit next to her. I know. I'm lucky.
Great picture of both of you!
I am so glad you got to meet Ilene! She seems so amazing!
And YOU are amazing, too my dear!
I am so sorry I have gotten so behind on reading your posts...I can't seem to keep up with anything these days.
Do you have comments made on your blog e-mailed to you? I was just curious if I read older posts and commented if you would get the messages?
Lauren, yes all comments are emailed to me, so I will get any comments from old posts that you make.
Ah, it was delightful meeting you!
I won't say too much because OF COURSE I will have to blog about our meeting as well.
You really made my day. Thanks!
Very cool that you not only got to meet but that she has moved to Boise! She is so lucky to have you for a friend! (Take it from me, I know these things!!)
Oh how fun... we are glad that you get to experience Ilene too! But, eventhough I didn't meet her here... I am glad you got to meet her there!!! :)
wow you guys actually kind of look alike :)
Melissa, In case you are not aware of it, there is an internet site that funds free mammograms for those who can't afford it. The site is : thebreastcancersite.com
There are also tabs at the top that you can enter to feed children free or provide books etc.
