This post maybe a tad photo-heavy, but for a good reason! Sunday I had the pleasure of meeting two more Michigan bloggers, not only from my area, but from my own new-to-me City of Oak Park! Originally before I moved into the house, I wanted to plan a giant blogger meet-up in Detroit. However, after all the work + school, I knew I could not plan such a gathering well enough so I put it off. Then summer classes started and all the craziness of Summer and I kept putting it off. Then one post not that long ago one of the bloggers, Brittney, mentioned that we live in the same city and NEVER see each other. I knew I had to do something about this so I posted a little even on Facebook and low and behold, Sunday morning I found myself having breakfast with two amazing girls.

I had started talking to Tiffany I think almost a year ago now after she found my blog. We immediately started gushing over our amazing "dog children" and soon found we had other things in common like Harry Potter, movies, reading and writing, photography, Conan O'Brien...you know, basic girly-dork stuff. Not long after Brittney and I started reading each others blogs and I was happy to discover that Tiffany and Brittney were sisters. Brittney has a fashion blog and comes up with some pretty creative looks that I love. So I managed to get Cat, Lauren, Tiffany, Brittney and I to meet up for some yummy food at Alex's in Berkly and to go thrifting at the value world in Oak Park.

One of the greatest things that blogging has given me is the gift of friends. Be it just online, re-connections with old friends, or meeting new people IRL. My best friend Jamie reads all my posts and even very subtly hints when I should post next, Becky and I hang out more now than I have in high school. Lauren is one of my closets friends and Cat is no exception either.

Sunday was a busy day but Becky and I managed to sneak over to Royal Oak to see Cat's art show! I immediately noticed  all the colorful paintings hung on the walls and was happy to know that I knew the hard-working girl behind them. Cat is an amazing artist and I seriously wanted all of the paintings, it was too hard to pick a favorite but a snapped a few pics of some of them. You can check out the rest over at Cat's blog. As you can see, the girl has talent!

It was also great that Becky and Cat got a chance to meet. I love when my new friends meet my old friends, especially since my new friends are usually relate-able to my old ones. I am soooo excited to throw some sort of a housewarming party in the next month or so. Nothing too fancy since we have a mortgage to pay, ahem. But maybe we can get a keg just for shits and giggles. 

I am hoping to decorate the house in the next few years but for now it's hodge-podge. Maybe I should purchase some fancy art to adorn the walls...
