Remember &#8211; I didn&#8217;t go to <em>Haven<\/em>. \u00a0Stay with me on this one. I was in Ohio for work recently. One day I was spending some time with my friend <a title=\"Room Crashing\" href=\"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/2012\/01\/17\/room-crashing\/\">Amanda<\/a> who lives there, and we were talking about blogs we love and read. I mentioned \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.housetweaking.com\/\">House Tweaking<\/a> saying it is about a young Ohio couple and that Dana has great style.<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.housetweaking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/a8314262bcaf11e1b00112313800c5e4_7-e1341717552260.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Now, fast forward to me craving the limited addition banana pudding milkshake from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chick-fil-a.com\/\">chick fil a<\/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. \u00a0I 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.<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.housetweaking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/0ae67d52ae7111e19894123138140d8c_7.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"mabrey 6.12\" src=\"http:\/\/www.housetweaking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/0ae67d52ae7111e19894123138140d8c_7-e1338936305938.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>For some reason, the little girl looked familar, and then the mom looked familar.

Amanda said she didn&#8217;t know and that they just started talking while eating their meals and their boys were playing in the play area. \u00a0So, as they were packing up, I asked if she was from House Tweaking, and she said, &#8220;Yes&#8221;!<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>(Sadly, I don&#8217;t think she has even heard of our blog nor does she know that we have had her blog in our side bar forever).<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.housetweaking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/shabby-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"shabby 2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.housetweaking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/shabby-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>I could not believe it!!!
