Internet friends

You know I got a call tonight from a friend that I met through the internet. She is scrapbooking friend.

Dh and I were laughing that all my friends of late seem to be people that I have met on the internet. That got me thinking, so bear with me as I think about my internet friends.

I quit my job to be a SAHM on June 14th 2002. Until them I would get about 100 emails in my email box. My first thought when quitting is so is going to email me now? I went on yahoo groups and found a Mormon SAHM group. This quickly filled my in box. This first group went to another group. I love this group. I have been with them ever since. I think what really got me together is May 10th 2003, the day I was moving to current (burned) house, I got a phone call... Adam died. The was the Dh to a friend that was only 25 with 2 little girls. 5 women said they wanted to come out for the funeral. I quickly offered my home up as a place to stay. I never met any of these women. So here they come. I quickly made friends with Melanie.

Melanie and I were like sisters right off the bat. We knew what each other were thinking, we knew each others lives. It was scary that people would ask us if were were sisters right off the bat. We still get that to this day. She is incredibility giving a sweet. I have learned so much from her and I hope that I have taught here things as well. We really enjoy the time that we spend together and we are so luckily that we have DH's that love to spend time together. We travel together well. We also have snuck off to see some of our other Lister Sisters. Melanie leads to another friend.

Xina. Xina is the list owner of my favorite email list. See I had never met her. That was before the big Disneyland retreat. Xina hopped on a plane and came out to meet some of us. We spent a week together. We had a ball. I will always love love love the Tower of Terror and the Aladdin show because of her. Melanie and I hopped a plane to go see her last May. That was so fun. We are doing that again this year.

Then there is Polly, Polly and I like to do crazy things. We like to do crazy things. She was one of the women at Disneyland and we went to a Dr. Phil taping together. We have matching clothes (thanks Dr. Phil) and laugh t each other all the time. Polly is full of fun and laughter.

Then we go the crazy Internet scrapbooking friend. Donnann. She Donnann took a leap of faith and came out to my house to scrapbook together. She organized all the food and had the other women coming all organized. She is an amazing women. She is a wonderful scrabooker and mom. She recently moved to another state. I was lucky to spend a lot of time right before she moved. I helped her pack up and she even came to take a break over here. Now she is far away and I am already making plans to go out and see her.

Now there are other friends I have met. I am sure there will be more. I am already making plans to meet Kimberly!!!

So there are wonderful things that come out of the internet. :)
