Great Blates and an Almost Celeb Sighting

A few housekeeping items before we get to the post:

-The winner of the Blog2Print giveaway is Miranda! Congratulations! I had so much fun doing a giveaway and it makes me want to do more. So if you didn't win this one, you're in luck because I'll be hosting another Blog2Print giveaway in about a month!

-Thank y'all for the concern about my surgery! The surgery was very successful, the recovery was kind of difficult, and I am feeling a lot better today. My nose is still really swollen but I can already tell a huge difference in being able to breathe!

Over the past month, I've been lucky enough to meet/see some of my very favorite blog friends! Well now, they are real life friends. Soon after we moved out of our house, I flew to Indianapolis for a girls weekend with Brittany and Emma. I met these two before during my trip to Cincinnati, and it was love at first sight. We had the most relaxing weekend full of girl talk, cupcakes, and Glee. Perfection.

Thanks for the picture, Emma!

While I was in Indy, I just had to meet up with Katie! This girl is such a sweetie and I loved chatting over lunch with her. Katie is one of the few people I've met who I believe loves her dogs as much as I love Maisy...which as y'all know, is no easy feat. So obviously, we talked about our precious dogs for half of our lunch. Again, perfection :)

And then last week, Michaela moved into town! We have been discussing this day for what seems like a really long time, so I was thrilled to finally meet her! We met up at The Grove (my favorite place in LA) and grabbed dinner at the Farmer's Market. 

Afterwards, we walked around and went into a few stores and ran into her roommate in Anthropologie. (I'm going somewhere with this...) We said bye, walked around to a few more stores, and then went back to Michaela's apartment. Well, her roommate gets back about 10 minutes after us and tells us that SHE MET SHAY MITCHELL FROM PRETTY LITTLE LIARS!!! Y'all, this is one of my favorite shows EVER and I literally missed meeting her by 10 minutes. I don't think I'll ever quite get over this!

Isn't it amazing that blogging can form real life friendships? It's like online dating for friends! (That sounds much weirder than I intended!)
