All because of a cookie....

Do you remember me telling you that I ordered myself some Mother's Day cookies in May? Well, not only did I get a dozen cookies, but I also got a friend for life!!!! Shannon (aka The Cookie Mama) and I hit it off instantly through email after I placed that order. We grew up in the same town, but NEVER knew each other. I know people that know her and she knows people that know me, but in 30 years, we've never crossed paths until now and it was all because of a cookie! :o)

In just three short months, we know SO much about one another and have talked about anything and everything under the sun! We have a TON of stuff in common and we are so much alike that it is scary! We email EVERYDAY, we have talked on the phone a time or two briefly, but we had never met.....until NOW! :o)
Wade, the kids, and I went "home" Friday for a quick visit to my parents. Shannon and I decided since I would be in town that we HAD to get together and meet! So Saturday, Annah Brooke and I met Shannon and her two girls at a park. Please excuse me in the above picture. It was so hot and we were pouring sweat, but we had to have our picture! :o) The girls hit it off instantly and became friends really quick! The three of them played so well together and had a ball. They didn't act as if they wanted to leave!


Lucy, Macy, & Annah Brooke swinging Tire swing fun!!!! And, no! We had no idea that Macy & Lucy would be wearing blue shirts too!!! :o)

The girls were little troopers out in that heat! They had a blast playing! Shannon-I am so glad that we are now "IRL" friends and not just bloggy friends!!!!!! Annah Brooke and I can't wait until our next visit!!!!!
