Kristin and I love having people at our house.  There is just something fun about having friends come over, kick off their shoes and relax as if they live here too.  Several times early in our marriage we would have people staying with us, or our friends would come by and stay late into the night.  One year we celebrated Oktoberfest at our house and it quickly became a tradition to have Novemberfest, Decemberfest, and so-on.  We still love it, and if folks can handle being around three, high energy, little boys they are welcome.

So last night we had sort of a  blogging sleepover.  Tracy and Daley hung out all day yesterday and stayed the night last night.  The funny thing about it is that up until this weekend most of us had never met.   I had met Tracy before, but Kristin hadn’t and we just met Daley the other day.  Now here we are eating snacks, watching scary movies and having a pillow fight.  Okay, maybe not the pillow fight, but you get the idea.

Once again it blows my mind how blogging can create something that bypasses all awkwardness and shallowness to where you feel like you know a person even if it’s the first time meeting.  I have been lucky enough to meet several folks that read this blog, and also author blogs that I read.  It’s a country-wide community, and I love to see it continue to introduce me to interesting people.  Anyone else met a bunch of people from their blog?  

So if you are ever in the Nashville area make sure to come hang out a little. Now I gotta go put Daley’s hand in a bowl of warm water.
