MN Blogger Meetup

I know how I said this week would be thrift week but I was a big fat liar. I'm going to take pictures on Saturday so I can get the ball rolling. Anna emailed me and said she wanted to join in so hopefully I didn't piss her off too much and she still wants to do it. Go check out her blog and say sorry again for me :)

Back to the task at hand. I went to the MN blogger meetup on Saturday and it was so fun! I met so many great ladies and found a bunch of new blogs to follow. I hope a lot of these gals will be IRL friends too because they were really cool. My social awkwardness kicked in and so I didn't meet as many girls as I wanted to (next time!). Maria, Annie and I met up and carpooled over there. I'm so glad they were with because it was a bit hard to find and I might have turned around and gone home if they weren't with me. Everyone liked the peanut butter cup cookies I made (I can post a recipe if anyone's interested) and I got to show off my new dress and hair cut.
I really hope that we can all get together again soon!

Annie and Maria were taking outfit photos and wanted me to take one of them together since they are both in the Delightful Dozen. I pretended like I was in it too and took pictures with both of them.

  1. Hahah, oh the awesome awkwardness. It was a really fun time and I am totally glad we carpooled. I definitely would have chickened out.
