So here I sit in my living room in western Montana with my friend by my side. There aren’t many social situations where I’d feel wholly comfortable typing away on my laptop, eyes down while a guest is in my home. But here we are. Her feet are up on my coffee table and we sip coffee while our fingers clickclickclick, we share stories as they pop in our heads, we get along swimmingly.
It’s comfy because we anticipated, with giddiness, this. The interaction, the virtual becoming real, the intersection of our nutty lives in real time with tangible consequences. This social media experiment where we’d plop once or twice and share the muscles that we’ve been exercising for a few years.
Our relationship sprouted and grew through screens and words. The whole thing is completely unique to my life and I am loving the rich and extraordinary experience of meeting a person I grew to adore online. Of all the insane inventions and revolutions of all the generations, this is pretty darn insane. And quite groovy. A very cool collaboration.
So, in the spirit of writing, sharing, blogging, connecting, Kelle and I decided to each ask the other five questions. And here are the five she asked me. (fun, right?)
1. We’ve agreed that if it weren’t for our blogs, if we would have met at a party, we probably wouldn’t have swarmed in on each other and wanted to be BFFs, and yet we’ve connected on such a deep level as friends over the years. What do you think makes us so different from each other and what’s the common ground that has bonded us so genuinely?
We are different. Oceans to Mountains. However, the details of our differences are uninteresting to me. Because I think the real beauty is in our commonality. The very fact that despite our different lifestyles we live really similarly. We both: never say no to a party, love to laugh, dig motherhood, use our cameras and writing to explore the world and enjoy a half-full glass unless it’s a martini and then we prefer a full glass.
2. What’s one thing you’ve taken from this trip or of meeting us so far that you didn’t expect?
I didn’t think we’d just tumble into it all so easily. Obviously I had expectations that we’d dig each other but we really hit the ground running. There hasn’t even been a single lull or discomfort. From the moment you landed on Montana ground, it all felt totally awesome and right. Even our kids adore each other. I love that.
3. Goin’ deep here…Why was this trip so important to you?
Blogging has surprised me in so many wonderful ways. What started out as a personal space for me to document and wax has turned into a space that holds a beautiful community full of support, kinship and fiery interaction. In general, I feel so heartened by people and the online universe has furthered my appreciation and amazement at people’s generosity and talent. I feel so fortunate to get to experience this! So how could I not take it to the next level?
I think we are both pretty fearless. We both believe in the law of attraction, that good begets good begets great. We had this fabulous thing going, a lovely, honest, uplifting relationship. It would have been easy and safe to keep it Good. I wanted to see if it was Great.
4. We live in two completely different environments both in landscape and in community lifestyles. I’ve always admired the way you’ve passionately endeared yourself to your community here and I’ve since learned to love my place similarly (and you’ve inspired me in doing that, so touché) What are five adjectives you’d use to describe your beloved Missoula?
Hopeful
Compassionate
Brilliant
Rich
Alive
5. Total cliché but have to ask…favorite “this is it” moment so far?
I have two. And they both happened in the first hour of our meeting.
When I was waiting in the Missoula airport I started to kinda freak out. Like, shit, this woman and her two children are staying with my family for five days. What if it isn’t cool? I was pacing and pitting out and then people started to walk through security and my heart was visibly pulsing, I am certain. There were all these reunions swirling around me and I just started crying. Grandmas seeing their grandkids, sons seeing their moms, friends understanding it’s been too long and life is too short. And then you came off that elevator with your kids and I about breached security. My legs took off as did yours and wow that was a great, happy, giant, loving hug. We stood there are cried and hugged tight like you do your kids when they hurt. Then we realized we were blocking the exit and clumsily tried to move but nobody cared because everyone was moved by our energy.
We arrived home to Andy making pizza and Margot screaming LAINEY AND NELLA ARE HERE! out the window while jumping on the chair. We settled for a minute and then I gave you a tour so you could fit those missing puzzle pieces together. There was a lot of, so this is where you write and this is the girl’s room and look there’s the chickens just like I imagined. We got down to our studio and I was bragging about Andy’s newest painting. You freaked out at its beauty and went in for a closer look. Holding Nella, you missed the chair entirely and you were going down on concrete so I tried to help and I full on grabbed your boob and fell with you and peed my pants a little because I was laughing so dang hard. I loved it because missing the chair because I was distracted by something amazing is so something I would do. And grabbing a boob and peeing pants is so something you would do. It was this wonderfully choreographed moment when I knew we’d get along just fine.
Kelle, I am so thankful to know you. I love you and your family. I already can’t wait for our next adventures.

very cool. I was wondering how it would be to actually meet someone you had fostered on online relationship with. And now I see it can be pretty great.
Awesome dual post. Kinda makes me want to have a blog where I can have comments, too. You never know what loveliness lurks out there…
I just LOVE this. You both seem like such beautiful people with beautiful souls… and obviously beautiful children!! This is the awesome thing about life and social media.. and blogging! It’s gotten me through some hard times, and it’s mostly from people I’ve never met. Your home and your photography and love for life is amazing. I’ll be back for more.
🙂

LOVE LOVE LOVE, This fills my love tank to the top.
HOORAY! I’m so glad you two finally met. That is awesome. I also prefer my martini glasses half full. Holla.
This is an incredibly fun collaboration to witness from afar. Kindred spirits indeed. Have a blast ladies…looks like you’re already on your way!

Beautiful
how sweet for both of you. I have a couple online friends I am anticipating meeting. reading this post made me want it to happen sooner than later.
friendship is a beautiful thing.
Yaay! I’m glad it was even better than you’d hoped for. From the far-off bloggy world of mine, you two always seemed like you’d get along famously. I love it when two blogs collide (in a good way of course). :>) Cheers from California ~ Conny
You had me with martini, mine extra dirty! And I do believe I saw some froggy boots on the wrong feet there–a great guard against feet turning in. I am seeing a book someday, with the left page from the gulf shore and the right from the mountains of Missoula–sort of an antiphonal celebration of all things bright and beautiful. Real words. Real life. Real moms. Real women. Real wonderful. Enjoy these days…they were written before you met. Loving you all.
Oh my word- HILARIOUS the chair missing/boob grabbing story.
And the story of your meeting at the airport stung my eyes.
Such a cool expereince you guys are having!
Oh I love it! Laughed at the pee/boob story!!
I just read Kelle’s post and she said something about the sun there even being different than “her sun”. I must say that in these pictures Kelle looks “different”. It’s like in your surroundings she’s exuding a different energy than in her at-home FL pics. Very cool.
Great post and beautiful friendship!!! Have FUN!
I’m a huge fan of Kelle – I check her blog daily – More than once a day! And Now I’m a huge fan of you ! Anyone that Kelle reads- is indeed worth checking out ~looking forward to reading the new entries !!!
this is kind of wild! like when a character from one tv show makes a guest appearence on another show…like when steve urkel showed up on full house and had a crush on DJ… except real life, way cooler and much more beautiful. i had to chuckle out loud at the full on groping… what a welcome to MT;)
have fun!!
I am hopping over from Kelle’s blog.
What an awesome event… you guys are both much bravier than I!!!!
I adore {baby} Nella, Lainey and Kelle and read every post.
Your home looks lovely! And the pic of Nella after question #4… I just want to kiss my computer screen.
The weather there looks lovely! It is 100 here in Texas!
Have a martini for me!
So awesome, I love it all!
I have been chacking you out a bit lately – that friend of yours just oozes with love over you, so I had to see what you were all about…have not commented here yet, but just had to today…have a GRAND time! Enjoy your extra special visit with extra special people. And, dude, that girl of yours – gorgeous! How did you two get four of the five (mine would be the fifth;)!)most adorable girls in the whole wide world???
Cheers to it all!
E – (nkymama)
This post seriously made me cry tears of joy. Thank you!
Yummy! Next time, LA and add two toddling boys to the mix?

Ok, just finished commenting on ETLT’s. And as I told Kelle – I’m dizzy from blog jumping between the two of you! This is such a special moment for your families.
You two are different (as all friends really are), but what you have came from the love of life and of family, the lens, and gift of your writing.
I love the difference in perspectives from both of your shots. And I love that the girls took to each other so quickly. And it has to be special for Kelle to see you in canning action. I am amazed at all you do between the business, your writing, gardening (ok, that’s a guilty pleasure), being a mama and being a wife. You need to sew yourself a cape and wear it with some bitchin’ white boots. 🙂
Thanks to both of you. You creative spirits connect a lot of us together. Even one of my best friends follows you two ladies, and we happened to uncover that little hidden fact one night over dinner; and that discovery was an additional layer of mortar to our loving bond. Because we get it.
Enjoy your time.
-Jennifer from Annapolis
Oh I just said it on Kelle’s blog but I will say it again. I would just love to have a martini with ya all! Have a fun week! It is just so cool seeing you all on one blog. LOVE IT!!!!
By the way the tears are streaming down my face right now, I feel like I was the one waiting at the Missoula airport for my long lost friend….
Love. Just Love. And so much of it.
Enjoy your martinis friends.
Lovin’ this friendship “birth” story. I call your friendship a planned path. Everything you two have done in your life so far has brought you HERE. Here to this place of pure. deep. love. Enjoy your time together. Share a blanket and sleep under your big sky stars…they’re twinkling for you all.
p.s. how lucky are you… the red boots are visiting too. Saaa-weeeet!
Wow!
I love seeing the landscape of your life here and on Kelle’s blog.
But you have to get someone to take a pic of the two of you you can post.
Keep the Q and A coming.
It totally makes sense to me that two kindred spirits could meet through blogs. Enjoy!
This dual post was a beautiful introduction to your blog. I’m so glad to be here.
I can tell you that the Internet does foster wonderful friendships – my husband and I met via Myspace, and three years, 2200 miles and one beautiful baby son later we are living a blessed, blissful life.
I can’t believe you grabbed her boob by accident. That is hilariously. Nothing escalates friendship to next level that a little boob brush.
And I didn’t think it could get any better than Kelle’s take on it all … and not that your take is better … but this whole experiment and you two writing about it, it’s just love … and I’m loving that!
Oh, and that boob-grabbing-peeing-in-your-pants story, that was just great! I am so happy for you two!
Sending a little blog love your way … from the dried corn fields of Illinois to your magestic mountains!!
Just came from Kelle’s blog & I loved this post. I laughed at the falling moment. Looks like you two are having fun I hope that fun continues 🙂
New to your blog and love it 🙂
I am so happy it is all you anticipated and MORE from the get go! You two will have a lifetime of treasured moments…..I was teary eyed reading but soon turned into a belly laugh at the visual of Kelle falling, boob grabbing, friends on the floor with wet pants…..
Love to all!
xoxo
Oh Mah Gahd, I just about died when I saw Lainey and Nella hanging out with Ruby and Margot! I felt like it was 1993 and the cast of Full House just showed up on Family Matters on TGIF (did that ever really happen? Well, if not it should have).
Haha…anyway, the only way my two favorite blogs could get any better is for them to UNITE! Maybe you guys should just move in next door to each other.
Thanks for sharing your friendship with the internet 🙂
I have to comment before your blog blows up big time (which I’m sure it will from Kelle’s traffic).
I discovered you through a link to a forgotten blog (probably sustainable living related) a year and half ago. I come back day after day. Your photos and stories of life always hit a special spot in my heart. You say it and live it like I wish I did and it always inspires me. Even the messy and the sad. But the joy – the overwhelming joy that comes out from you is so beautiful.
I discovered Kelle’s blog through you, and I loved it. To see both of you in the same setting, does show your differences and highlights your loves. I love it.
An inspiration, as always. Thank you for sharing!
I’m with Domestic Diva: loved this as much as Kelle’s!! You got me crying, too! JEEZ! I’m loving your adventures together already. Cannot WAIT to read what happens next!
What a wonderful meeting- cant wait to hear more about the next five days!!!!
Enjoy ladies- this is a truly great adventure!!!
Why do the walls of that house look like styrafoam and the floors………WT? I hope the kids are fully vaccinated. 5 days? Good luck!
made me cry:) I hope you know how special you and your family are to me.
ps I’m anonymous…Leigh Barrow. All I need is another email account.
Oh how I love hearing of your adventures thus far… airport embraces & missing chairs & boob brushes & peeing from laughter & a good martini… darlin’ you crack me up! Keep on enjoying each other & please do post the peach butter recipe. Sounds amazing!
xo
Kate
Hope your coming to Florida some day soon would love to meet you!
Just found your blog. Love it!
I live over in the Big Hole. Was thinking of heading to Missoula next Tuesday to pick up peaches at the market. Do you think they will still have peaches available? How much do they sell for? Would love to make your peach butter. Thanks!
Hi, I’m a long-time follower of Kelle’s blog and have checked out your equally inspiring blog a few times too but this is my first comment – hello! It’s so great that you and Kelle and all your adorable daughters have got to meet. It’s so obvious there is such a connection there. Enjoy the rest of their visit!
p.s If we ever have the money and time to take a long holiday to the US, Montana is definitely on my must-see list – it just looks breath-taking!
Well, this is something I just love! Great to see you all together and having such a great time. What’s better than a kindred spirits?
So excited for you guys!!! Wish I could come hang out with my two favorite bloggers!!!
well, this made me cry a bit. 🙂
how very sweet and fulfilling.
xo.
All week I’ve waited, and stalked, and waited and stalked and… Yay! An update!! And I cried through the posts on both blogs. If your friendship were a movie I would totally go see it with my bff. 🙂
This is beautiful. Last year, my husband, our 3 daughters and I went to 52 Zoos in 52 Weeks and stayed with 31 families (17 of them we’d never met–I met them thru my blog). It. Was. Awesome.
It is so cool to see Kelle and her kids in your house, on your blog, etc. I know Kelle’s Blog through you so it all coming together on this post is pretty amazing. Have a great visit and lots of love to you and yours.
love love LOVE.
the visual of you grabbing boobs and falling and such is too much funny.
so happy to see you enjoying your friendship … and to see new ones developing.
you had me laughing at the title, “diggy smalls”
nuff said.
but then, the boob grabbing, peeing in pants bit? i’m laughing so hard i’m crying!
This is eerie. It’s like my two favorite blogs have combined and are starring in their own episode of the real world in the place that I live.
And I’m loving every second of it!
Laci
Well-done, ladies. I thoroughly enjoyed this Q&A session; cool idea. And so lovely to see a newcomer extol Missoula, which is worthy of every bit of praise it gets.
Your story is proof that, despite moral aberrations like those seen in the hateful anonymous posters on both blogs, human nature has the capacity to transcend differences and create bridges where none existed. Your friendship is inspiring.
I hope you enjoy the rest of your visit.
Your blog is lovely. I am always looking for inspiration to live more organically and I love your posts.
I, too, crave that closeness of female relationships and am envious of what you and Kelle have cultivated. Might be enough to convince me to take my blog off of private in hopes of meeting my own blog soul mate :)Enjoy the rest of your visit.
This is way too much fun to follow! Thank you for opening up and sharing such an awesome thing. I love that you guys recognize and embrace how different, yet similar you are. All the girls are so beautiful! Enjoy every moment of it, and keep in mind, there are plenty of us that love this whole q & a thing!!!
Okay, the matching jammies! Love, love! Who planned this? The big question is….where is the picture of you and Kelle in your matching pj’s?
Enjoy the rest of your time together! I know you will!
Jill B (Overland Park, KS)
I DIG you both. You are both so hilarious. A full on boob grab is always a great ice breaker. That is true friendship! Enjoy your visit girls!
this is awesome. i read yours i read hers and i cried here at my keys this morning. what a special and fun time. i love this and thanks for sharing.. i was hoping you would share a little something:) and you did!
.. coffee in hand and off to my girls soccer game this am!
oh my gosh, i am cracking up! the way the story was told…love it.
i knew it would be an unforgettable moment! the kids together with the chickens and nella and ruby…i can’t stand it. so sweet!
love you.
I’ve been reading your blog for a little while now. Yes, I found it through Kelle’s blog. But I got so into yours that I began to read yours even more frequently than Kelle’s then all of sudden you write that Kelle’s visiting and now there photos of her and her girls with you and your girls and I’m reading her blog and I see you with her girls and YOUR husband holding Nella — it’s like the flintstones meet the Jetsons — so surreal and exciting!! Thanks for sharing, I hope there’s a few more of these dual posts to come before she leaves. I hope this won’t be the last of your visits. You both seem like such GOOD people — SWEET KIND SOULS! God bless you all! xoxo — You have no idea how much I’m grateful moments like these!
LOVE this! You guys are frickin’ hilarious…you had me crackin’ up with the boob grabbing story! Glad you are having such a great time 🙂 And like I commented on Kelle’s blog, I think you guys have the exact same nose…random I know…I could see it so much in the picture of you and Lainey with the chicken. I think it was on her blog. Anyway, I’m not crazy or creepy…just something I noticed 🙂 Confirmation of the two of you being sisters I suppose 🙂
xoxo, Angie from OH.
Ok, I see you have gotten like ONE HUNDRED new followers in about two day – hehe, I feel like I knew you before you were famous or something… and I dont even know you!! NICE!
60+ comments??!! do you even read these all?
Anyway, this made me laugh outloud and cry just the teeniest bit.
Love that you two have each other.
super cool.
This is all so cool, y’all. I just adore your enthusiasm about our meeting! Makes it that much sweeter.
Janine, yes I do read them all (even the ones that criticize my 100 year-old plaster walls and bum me out a bit). I really adore the comments and all the people I’ve grown to ‘know’ here. Like you!
xo
So glad to have been introduced to this blog! Will enjoy reading more…
And ignore that comment about your walls and floors. We had a 150 Yr Old house and one chunk of the kitchen wall for some reason always took the abuse. It always looked like a bad case of acne. Sealed the bricks…didn’t help. Repointed…didn’t help. Fixed it over and over….didn’t help. Respect that your house is an old girl and it’s a piece of the character of owning an old house.
Peace out and good dreams!
-Jennifer from Annapolis
Hi Nici!
It was so nice to meet you today at the Farmer’s Market! I have been following your blog for a while and just discovered Kelle’s last night. I knew that as a true Missoulian you would take her to the Farmer’s Market this morning. I told myself I would approach you if I saw you and I’m so glad I did! I was so busy telling Kelle how touched I was by Nella’s birth story that I forgot to also say how many times your blog has brought tears to my eyes. I’m in love with what motherhood does to life and I love to read about it from other people. Hopefully we will meet again one day.
Thanks!
Donna
Now this is funny! I’ve been following both yours and Kelle’s blog for a long time. I never knew you “knew” each other. I just got done reading Kelle’s update and paged down to read yours…ta da!!! How FAMILIAR! 🙂
Awesome that you two have bonded! Congrats on the long lasting, new, wonderful turn in your friendship! 🙂
I love your green walls Nici! They remind me of our house in Portland. We had an old house built in 1914. There were 5 layers of wallpaper layered on top of old lath and plaster and all of it was adhered together. I sweated and labored over the walls. I had the steamer from Home Depot and many bottles of chemicals that promised to easily remove wallpaper. NOT. So anyways I went down and bought some plaster goop and went over everything and made my own design as a finish with a little sweeper brush. Turned out cute as a bug and I painted a similar color of green. Anyways…always love your walls because they remind me of our little old house in Portland! Wow…a long story. I will sign off now! 🙂 :O) xoxo M.
Nici – the comment about your walls and floors stung for me…was hurtful. I felt it and it’s not even my walls or floor. I felt for you when I read it.
But who cares???!!?! HAHA, you just had a week with Kelle, Nella and Lainey. So jealous! It was nice to read about your time together. so much fun. Can’t wait to see and hear more about it.

Just had to say how much I LOVE your 100 year old walls. 🙂
The colors you used are fantastic & I am so stealing the chalkboard paint idea for outside my kitchen. I live in a funky old warehouse in an artists colony & sell antiques for a living so I guess I am partial to things with character.
Hope you are enjoying the rest of your visit!
xo
Kate
Was just checking back in…still thinking about the accidental boob grab! Sure you two have had many more laughs since then! Can’t wait to hear about the rest of your time together!
Jill B. (Overland Park, KS)
BTW.. I love your walls! I thought that before the not so nice commenter. I really love the color. And I am also stealing the chalkboard idea. I showed my husband the pictures and he agreed what a great idea that is!
Keep on enjoying each other 🙂
xoxo, Angie from OH
Love this love this love this! Yay for you two, for taking the chance on each other and what a wonderful outcome it is!
The boob-grab story = priceless!!! Made me remember back to college when my best friend got a new tattoo, she’d intended to get one on her shoulder, fell in love with a giant one across her hips, forgetting that she had a toddler and partner in Alaska on a guiding job. “So, ummmm, can you come hold my baby and rub creme on my ass?” Because, well, friends!
And damn the floor! Build those immunities! My grandboy actually licks the bottom of his shoes while in his carseat, and has licked my headlight covers in the rain. GROSS!!! He almost never gets sick. Like, once in the last 2 years. And he’s 4. Very well developed immune system. You should see my floor. And you know what? I would let you!!
Ya’ll keep having a beautiful time! What a wonderful wonderful gift you have given yourselves and your girls. And I’m totally with you on the social media thing. It all depends on how you use it. Reconnecting with old friends that I would never have found again without it, hell, I found my oldest son, whose dad vanished with him at age 7, 3 years ago at age 21 via Myspace. This shit rocks!!! Do you ever wonder, though, what the technology will be when, say, Margot is 16? Yowza!!
Okay… novel at a close.
Love and hugs.
I, too, want to know who planned the matching jammies? That was brilliant and way too precious!
Smiling for you and Kelle.
xoxo
Katie, the matching jams came from my sweet, thoughtful mama.
And, re: wall and floors. Har. You know, I really don’t give a rat’s ass. It is more that it is disheartening that a person would choose to take time to try to hurt my feelings. That bums me out more than the content.
I love my home and it’s character and history. And, actually, the reason the floor in the back room is funky is because it’s subfloor that hasn’t yet been covered….we ripped up the linoleum because it was full of asbestos. But it sure looked pretty! I guess it’s all depends on your definition of “safe.”
And, re: chalkboard paint. You can make it with whatever color paint you want with the addition of tile grout! Martha knows how: http://www.marthastewart.com/article/make-custom-color-chalkboard-paint
dude, I didn’t even notice the floors and the walls, I saw beautiful souls brought together and a really pretty house.

Nici! Crazy comments… and lots of crazy good love going on. Of course! The boob and peeing story is so hilarious! Thanks for sharing. Wish I could be there with you all instead of a fly on this here wall, but love your pics and perspective anyhow. xo
wow *wow* WOW *WOW*
my eyes are tearing up remembering the first time I read the most beautiful birth story ever.
AWESOME that you are friends. AWESOME.
I just met mah online gurl…a quick step and back to Canada, but it was … you know what it was.
Beautiful ladies. Blessed be.
How neat! I was so surprised to see Kelle in Montana (I’m in Billings) – the light *is* different up here 🙂 Such beautiful pictures of a new friendship
Thank you for sharing this wonderful friendship….and finally so great to see your kids playing together!
Amazing to see them all hanging and sharing like theyre soul sisters!
So fun that y’all were able to get together! Can you please tell me who makes the boots that your daughter is wearing on the other blog? I LOVE them and have a hard time finding ‘non cheesy’ girls shoes. THANKS!
Who disses walls? Seriously. Honey, if all they could come up with was a slam on your walls, you’re doing pretty damn good.
I’m mesmerized by your combined posts. I love the side by side comparison of the styles of writing and photography. You’re both so talented and amazing, and you both bring something unique to the table.
Srsly- the walls and the floors? Isn’t it said if that’s the first thing somebody notices?
I saw
– two adorable babies
– two adorable not-so-babies
– two friends that are having fun
– and a colorful and lived-in home.
Glad y’all are having fun!
I just posted over at Kelle’s about how homey your home was and how much I loved the chalkboard BEFORE I read the post about your walls and floor. So, really, it should make you feel good that someone noticed the walls and floor and chalkboard and thought what an awesome, cosy, character home…the perfect spot to raise a family.
Hi Nici!
I sooo want to come to Missoula now! I love that you have chickens and those mountains are gorgeous!! So glad that you and Kelle got to meet. Friendship is so special! Loving it! And I have a new blog to follow.
Deanna
Ok so… I’m totally not a mom yet… But I want to come visit! I can borrow a niece and nephew if that’ll count! 😉 I look up to you and kelle so much in how you live and love and raise your littles. Thanks for sharing.
Jess S
This post about your first encounter brought tears to my eyes. I was there with you both. Love it.
I found your blog through Kelle’s and now I love yours too!
i’m a follower of kelle and about DIED when I saw the first picture on her blog…I instantly knew it was montana! I was born and raised in cut bank, went to school in missoula and now I’m just over the hill from missoula in Salmon ID! Glad Kelle shared this adorable little blog, I will be following now! Do you have a booth at the farmer’s market? Would love to see your stuff in person! yippee!
~annie~
You know what blogging is like? It’s like old school pen-pals. We get to share stories, some sweet and some sad. We get to laugh and cry with each other, support each other. You know, all that. And every now and then we get to meet each other. I think that’s a beautiful thing.
I would have been trippin’ out on the whole – omg this person is going to be here and sister could be crazy-thing, too. I think anyone would. And if someone didn’t have that thought/concern; shit, then they’re probably the crazy one.
