Hearing all about Haven and bloggers finally meeting each other made me realize that I had yet to actually meet a real blogger in person. Do bloggers really exsist, or are they like teachers? Remember how it used to seem so strange to see a teacher in the grocery store or any place but in his/her classroom?
Well, I am pleased to say that I now have my own personal proof that bloggers do exist (outside of the computer, that is). Remember – I didn’t go to Haven. Stay with me on this one. I was in Ohio for work recently. One day I was spending some time with my friend Amanda who lives there, and we were talking about blogs we love and read. I mentioned House Tweaking saying it is about a young Ohio couple and that Dana has great style.
Now, fast forward to me craving the limited addition banana pudding milkshake from chick fil a. I decided since we do not have them in New York that I would treat myself to one. I called Amanda and found out that she and her family was already at chick fil a and they asked me to join them. I ordered my shake and met her at the table. She and her husband were talking to a cute couple, and they had an adorable new born little girl.
For some reason, the little girl looked familar, and then the mom looked familar. As they were packing up, I asked Amanda who that was because she looked just like Dana from the blog House Tweaking that I had talked about. Amanda said she didn’t know and that they just started talking while eating their meals and their boys were playing in the play area. So, as they were packing up, I asked if she was from House Tweaking, and she said, “Yes”!
(Sadly, I don’t think she has even heard of our blog nor does she know that we have had her blog in our side bar forever).
I could not believe it!!! I really felt like I had met a celebrity. I was star struck and so excited that I didn’t think to take a photo of us. What are the chances????? I have to say she has an adorable family. Dana, her husband, whom she calls Handy Hubby, and their children were all adorable. And by the way, does she look as if she just had a baby???? If you have never checked out her blog be sure to stop by because you will love it!

How wonderful was that to meet someone of whom you have come to admire….Fate?…So glad you had a great time chatting and getting to know Dana….and also spending time with your friend Amanda and family….sometimes were are guided to places for a reason….and on that day, there certainly was some divine intervention!!
It was so great to meet you as well! In all honesty, I was a little embarrassed. It still seems strange to me that people from all over actually read House*Tweaking. And, yes! What were we thinking?! We should have taken a picture!
