This Thursday I will board an airplane alone, headed to Nashville. It is not very often that I board an airplane without a car seat and a diaper bag. This weekend I am attending BlissDom, which for those of you who have not already heard is a blogging conference.
I am so thankful I have the opportunity to attend this conference. My husband and oldest have offered to take charge of things around here for a few days so I can meet other bloggers and learn more about this whole blogging thing I have grown to love.
And, I am extremely excited and thankful that I will be meeting Joy and Kate for the very first time! Joy and I started reading each others’ blogs about 11 months ago, and then I met Kate via Joy. In June we launched Happy to be at Home which was a spin off of our 3 Moms Kitchen series. Over the months we have chatted, emailed, and talked on the phone, a lot, but have never met in person.
From our initial phone conversations we joked about meeting up one day, but I am not sure if any of us thought it would really happen. Now we are only 3 days away from our first meeting!
A few years ago I would have laughed to think you could actually make real life friends from blogging! I am so thankful for my friendship with these two women I have never officially met. They are always an encouragement to me! It seems as if we have known one another for years, sharing ups and downs, triumphs and failures.
I now realize that this is probably the first of many more meetings we will have over the years. BlissDom here we come!
For more Gratituesday visit Heavenly Homemakers.
I can’t wait to meet you guys, too!
Fun! I have it on my list of 101 Things in 1001 days list to meet a blogging friend in real life.

You may not have a carseat… YOU ARE THE CARSEAT! Take care and enjoy your mini vacation and be careful!
You deserve it!! I look forward to hearing how the conference went. Is it different from Blogher?
As your wise daughter said: “Didn’t you tell us not to meet people on the Internet and them go see them in person?” LOL
We’ll be fine here. Thanks for all the meals and preparation.
God bless your time and fellowship.
