1. I am completely capable of making a fool of myself when I get to meet someone that I've admired from afar.
Shannon from Rocks in My Dryer inspires me frequently. And she couldn't have been more sweet as I fluttered about her and declared my undying love.
And Meredith from Like Merchant Ships is every bit as gracious and kind as she seems on her blog.
2. I have 2 sisters that I didn't know about.
Jennifer from Playgroups are No Place for Children and Amy from Mom Advice. See the family resemblance? They're both fabulous, by the way.
3. Bloggy frienships are real.
My roomies...Rhoda from Southern Hospitality. She's the real-deal...beautiful, stylish, talented and oh-so-Southern. And Jen from Balancing Beauty and Bedlam. She's a friend for life.
More of my favorite people...Emily, The Nester, Sandy (I want to be her when I grow up) and Melissa. I was thrilled to spend time with each of them.
Julia from Hooked on Houses and Susie from Bienvenue. They're both darling and I wish we had more time to visit.
HeathahLee from Butterfly Genes. I was so happy that we clicked in real life as well as we do online. I only wish we had more time together.

It was so fun to meet you, even if you did embarrass us with your fluttering. JUST KIDDING! How could you not flutter meeting amazing women like Shannon and Meredith!
I am just excited that we KNOW each other now in real life. I won't have to call you my "blog friend" any more, like you are an imaginary friend. You are now forever known as MY FRIEND. :-)
Love ya,
Melissa
great pics. :)
i'm glad you had a good time and enjoyed meeting everyone and made lasting friendships!!
xoxox
What fun! You totally are looking great with the new bangs.
More Blissdom. More jealousy. Sigh.
Looks like you had an AWESOME time. So many big smiles!
I would have so loved to have met all those wonderful blogging ladies!
What a great time you must have had! Wow. I couldn't justify a plane ticket from Germany, so I love how all of you have been sharing with us online. Fabulous!
Katie
Looks like so much fun! I really want to go next year. Thanks for sharing the pics of some wonderful bloggers! And I am memorizing the cute outfits so I will have a good idea of what to wear - LOL!
Hi, real life sweet friend! And to all your readers, Kimba is even BETTER in person, if you can imagine that. She has such a radiant, expressive personality that I just love.
It was SO much fun rooming with you and Jen, I'd do it again in a minute. Can't wait for next year.
Love you!
How fun and cute! What a great weekend to remember!
-sandy toe
Everyone looks like they're having such a great time!
So much fun! So wish I could have been there.
I said the exact. same. thing. about sandy! As in, word for word. So funny. And I can't believe the triplet photo. How funn!
It was great meeting you and I couldn't agree more with you description of those ladies.
Oh so happy to see pictures. These great ladies just don't look the same with a little avatar pic. I'll be there next year so I can have real friends... I think the hubby thinks my talking to this screen is getting a little wierd... Kimba, The Nester... SouthernHosp... they sound like code words for an undercover operation. Pretty Organized... well, it would be much better to give hugs all around and see people in the flesh instead of using blogging "call names" to ID each other. Glad you had a good time!
You're friend, not quite in real life but hope to be one day...
Pretty Organizer
Oh, and I kept seeing Jen to the left of you walking around & thought it was YOU a couple of times. Ya'll really do look like sisters!
Kimba, you are so warm and genuine. It was a pleasure meeting you in person!
still loving the bangs!
You are so adorable in every single one of those pictures!!
And you speak the truth! ;-)
Oh how fun! I'd love to be able to meet my bloggy friends out in the nonblogging world. You looked so cute. Love the bangs on you!
Love the pictures! Sounds like so much fun. You gals have wonderful blogs, PLUS you're all gorgeous! Is that really fair? :)
Thanks for sharing these photos! It is interesting to see the "face" behind some of the really well known bloggers!
WOW! what fun to meet all the awesome women of blogland! I am so sad I couldnt go this year, but I AM GOING NEXT YEAR!! YAY!! :)
New to your blog... wow, it is wonderful to see the friendships that form through blogging. What a blessing! Looking forward to following your blog!
Julie
I bet Blissdom was a blast! Hate that I had to miss it. Thanks for sharing pictures so that I can live through you, Kimba!
~Misti
So glad you had such a great mini vacay with good blog buddies!
Awesome to see pics, too!
Happy day wishes hun~ Les
I soooo want to go........ what do you think???
Kimba,
It was very nice to finally meet you. This blogging thing is incredible!
Gosh I learn so many things from all the ladies that attended Blissdom, heck even saw some new places to visit from several of you...now next year can I come even though I am not one who comes up with so many ideas...but I do use them from so many wonderful friends online. It looks like you all had a blast and I so want to travel there next year.
It was so great to meet you in person- you felt like an old friend (or possibly sister?) as soon as I met you! We must do this again soon!!
