pardon the repetition but...

saturday was aaaawesome.

bethie and i went to liz and diana's blog party.

i fiiiinally got to meet kylee.

i'm pretty sure i was awkward when i first saw her
but we just hugged it out and it was all good.

i am so, so, soooo happy cecilia  walked up to me and said hello.

when i saw her and kandice  walk in 

{ask beth, ashley and kylee}

i freaked out. 

"ohmygosh! i read about them and

 i want to talk to them but i don't know hoooow!"

yeah, pretty sure i said that at least a thousand times that night.

but then we chatted and i fell in love.

and for those of you wondering,

yes, cecilia and her hair are just as gorgeous in person as they are on her blog,

kandice is cuter and funnier than i could have imagined
{and her baby!!!! oh that natalie is beautiful!}

and kylee is even more hilarious and awesome in person. 

highlights of the evening:

"i'm so glad you all have personalities." - kandice

kandice telling me she thought i was in high school

and that she and cecilia both thought i was a punk-ish zumiez workin gangsta.

three cheers for blog friends becoming real friends.

oooooh and thanks to kylee and kandice for taking pictures that i could steal and post.

{kelli, this party haaas to happen now}
