Last weekend, Doug and I met up with my family in Cincinnati for a family reunion. And it just so happens that some of my favorite blog friends also live in Cincinnati. We had one of the best meet-ups of all time!
I had the pleasure of meeting Brittany of
Blogging Out Loud, Emma of
Legally Lovely, and Allison from
Nestful of Love. Allison is a such a sweetheart and we absolutely hit it off! Brittany and Emma were actually my first blog friends, so it was amazing that we finally got to meet after 2 years! I couldn't have loved them any more.

Everyone at the game got free pizza and ice cream because the Reds got 11 strikeouts! Happy girls! |

Drew, Allison, Doug, me, Brittany, Emma, and her boyfriend Alex |
After the game, we enjoyed some Graeter's, which is by far the best ice cream I've ever had. I may have had it 4 times in 3 days :)
We really had a perfect night- great company, winning game, delicious food, and beautiful weather. Girls, I had the best time meeting y'all and hope that it's not another 2 years before we can see each other again!
Well, Brittany and I certainly couldn't go long without seeing each other again....Doug and I met up with her and her friends at a brewery on Saturday night, and I really don't know the last time I laughed that hard! Not only do I love Brittany, but all of her sweet and hilarious friends, too! Jenn, I wasn't kidding when I said you should start your own blog. I need that humor on a daily basis!
This just goes to show how incredible the blog world is!
