isn't this age we live in wonderful? this is has been on my mind in the last week or so. i've met (and re-met!) so many great people recently via the internet. people in blogland, people in a (local!) mommies group i was so lucky to have stumbled upon, and people from my childhood. people that i have already met in real life and formed friendships with as well as those that i look forward to seeing again soon! in the flesh. people from high school, people from college. i hooked up with my art licensing manager online. and as a matter of fact, i re-connected with my hubs over the internet and now he's my fantastic hubs! (who does laundry, and i just noticed last night while i was out he vacuumed!!) what could be better. i just wanted to sing the internet praises. i know people who have met for the first time online and gone on to have a blissfully happy marriage. i've seen news stories about people reconnecting because of the internet, on purpose and by accident. whether they're looking for long lost loved ones, or new people to meet. it's such an age of information and connection, right at our fingertips. phenomenal.
i would really like to hear all of the great - and not so great - cyber-reconnecting stories out there!
write me a note and go visit these other tft bloggers: heather, kristi, jenny, zoe, robyn and nicole.
Hi Jessica - I agree! It is a wonderful time. I have been so blessed through blogging to meet so many wonderful women/mommies/bloggers - I can't believe it sometimes what a big world it is and how we are all so fortunate to be able to come together and connect because of the internet and blogging! It is a blessing indeed.
Thanks so much for coming by this evening - nice to see you. And, thanks so much for the prayers for our baby - we really appreciate all the prayers. See you soon. Kellan

I have nothing romantic or specific. But, I reconnected with you and I think I may have sent you 1054 emails in the last 4 days? ha....
Glad you're my friend, Jess!

I have no fantastic or romantic story, but I have met a huge array of wonderful women from blogging. THey have become a support system for me. It's great! I "talk" with some of these ladies more often than my "real" friends. i would love to meet every single one of you some day!

I haven't re connected with anyone...yet. I'm really happy I started blogging and the people I've "met" through it. I almost think I know some of you.

I myself have met some really awesome people online through blogging, and thats about it. But I have heard of some pretty cool meetings because of the online connection... you never know.
