Have I got a story for you…
Remember how I told you another blogger and I recently met for coffee?…
Meet Lisa from StopnSmelltheChocolates!
The story of how we ended up getting together is pretty ironic, if you ask me…
Lisa and I originally “met” through our blogs about a year and a half ago.
At some point, we figured out we both live in Northern California.
We agreed that we should try to meet up for coffee some day, but neither of us knew how close we lived to each other.
Then, after Valentine’s Day, when I posted about the date I had with Mike, Lisa recognized where we were in the photos.
We exchanged emails and realized we live in the same town. And then Lisa wrote…
“Just wait until you hear THIS! Were you in Michael’s this afternoon? I think I saw you crossing the road with your daughter and I went–that’s Genny! Now maybe I was mistaken, but if that wasn’t you–she looked a lot like you!”
It turns out, it was me. And Lisa and I had even been in the same aisle in Michaels getting school supplies with our kids!
It also turns out that we live only a couple of miles from each other, and our birthdays are just days apart. (Happy BDay, Lisa!)
So of course,
we decided to get together for coffee.
And of course, we brought our cameras so we could take pictures and blog about it! :)
Be sure and stop by Lisa’s blog and say hi. She’s such a sweetheart and her blog is great!

That is super fun! I've met a hand full of my blogging friends but none live close to me. How fun that you two live so close!! I wish my buddies were closer ;-)Thanks for sharing this!! Glad you two had fun meeting in person.
That is crazy!! I love stories like that.
That is really awesome… too FUNny!
Get out of here! That is too crazy! And so fun! I love it! There was a girl I met that lived near me but for some reason she stopped talking to me… I wonder if I did of said something annoying. There is a good chance that I did : ) as I am truly the Queen of Annoying : )
That's awesome! It's weird but I pray that the same kind of thing happens to me someday. It's something that would very neat, I think. :)
FUN! I love it when the world is small like that. When we moved a few years ago we ended up moving into the same neighborhood as a blogging friend of mine without realizing it!
Oh I love Lisa, so I'm a little bit jealous. LOL! Of course I'd love to meet up with you to Genny! So cool you all live that close.HugsKim
That is such a neat story! I love Lisa, and I've "known" her (via blogland) for quite some time. I'd love to live down the street from that gal! :)
How cool is that?? And wild, too! I can see all kinds of crazy co-hosting bloggy type stuff in your futures. :)
That is so God!And…YES…it is Always good to take along a camera…just like I did when I met a fellow blogger who's mom lives only minutes from my house! Small, small world!
Isn't it great to connect with blogging friends in real life? I too have been blessed to meet some of my blogging friends and it is such a gift.Blessings,Amy

That is so wonderful, when things work out like that. I have met people in similar situations. So Fun!https://debbiellbriskincare.blogspot.com/MBC
OH! That is FANTASTIC! I wish I would discover a blogger I love only lived minutes from me.Awesome story!
That is so wonderful that you both got to meet. I hope to meet some of my blogging buddies one day. BTW, I live in Northern California as well. I would love to meet up with you and Lisa one day. I would even drive to meet you! Would be fun!
How funny is that?!
Now that is a funny story! Glad you tracked each down:)
Such a small world. It's so fun when things like that happen.

How awesome! I can't wait to meet some bloggers that I have talking to this summer. We are taking a trip and it just happens to be in the same city where they live! Hope I remember my camera.
What a cool story! That is such a God thing, down to your birthdays and where you live. Amazing.
That is so cool! So far I've only met two of the bloggers whose blogs I read…That is an awesome story!
Oh my goodness! That is so neat! How fun for the two of you!Blessings!Camie
That is awesome. I met another local blogger recently and it was so much fun!

♥ How fun!!! So crazy that you're in the same town!!!
FUN FUN FUN!!What a great crazy story!Have a Lovely Sunday!
How fun is that. I had the opportunity to meet someone I met online recently, too. It's so good to make that connection after only writing to them or commenting on their blog. I guarantee that if I'm ever in your neck of the woods, we'll do coffee.
That's too cool!
That's so cool! It's really hard for us to sometimes find good girlfriends; I hope that this is the start of a wonderful friendship!
What a wonderful story! I love how blogging brings people together. :)[email protected]
How fun! And you girls are REALLY close by to one another too. I just Love it!
