We finally met!!!!

ok, I look uglyish
and I got carried away but is for the BYOC Challenge ad I LOVE itr so much, had to use almost all LOL
I met the girls!!!!!!!!! THAN YOU so so much girls for the amazing time!!!!!!!!


I cannot explain you how much I was itching to tell you about this!!!!!!
Last week of June, I had the pleasure, joy, amazing opportunity to meet first Julie @Juliestcyr with whom I have been chatting on and off over the gallery, the chats, loving her LOs and her amazing personality..... and which pleasantly surprised me as to being even MORE beautiful, younger, sweeter and awesomely intelligent, talented in so many ways....!!!!!!!!!!
I knew she was young and super talented/intelligent, but she is 100000 times more than I thought, we had a cozy time at one of the Bakeries in our area, Sarita even volunteered to come!!!! she wasn't working until later so we both spent sometime with Julie....

Then on the Wednesday after, and after 4 years of a beautiful friendship, one those very very REAL friendships, we even had our misunderstandings and sorted them out (as this is what real friendships are like.....!!!!!) I met Christa @cfile and I cannot explain how amazing this was too!!!!!!!
Among other things we have in common , we both are September 5th birthday, but we developed a friendship that makes me proud of having..... she is all the amazing I have had treasured all these years and more!!!!!!!!!!
I knew her voice was as I had imagined in these previous 4 years because couple of weeks before she came over, we spoke on voice & camera through Facebook (isn't crazy? technology?) and apart from confirming that that is, indeed, the voice I had been hearing in my mind for 4 years, I saw her as she has been all this time and it was amazing to spend time together!!!!! Poor CJ (Christa's husband) had to put up with us LOL he is also an amazing guy, we had a super great time, had lunch, a great laugh and I am so so happy these encounters happened, I cannot find words to explain.
I will be making a page for each this week but for now I just wanted to share with you these news.
I haven't had much of good news before, hence my absence from the forums (my neurological condition worsened but I am now making progress with new medication for pain management and some physio, etc etc etc LOL don't want to bore you and before didn't want to depress you..,... so now I have good news, at least some, you will see me around a bit more!!!!!!!!!!!!


there are so many of you I would REALLY love to meet in person, I really need to get better so we can have our European Lilypad Meet!!!!!!!!! so I am working on it!!!!!
Huggzz thanks so much for all the love and support you alll give me al the time, my life wouldn't be the same without this community that is more like a family to me!!!!!!!

and you know, if you are passing by or visiting London, mi casa es su casa!!!!!!

 

and I will make it my task that you will be here at some point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this community is so so amazing.... you know I am honest, and I say I dont know what I would do without you guys., 100% true!!!!!

 

I know I know!!!!! that's why I said I'm making it my task ..to pester you until you get it done LOLOLOL
You know I still remember the day we made it to the Digi Dares Team... I already loved you from far, and couldn't believe I was being in a team with you.... and then getting to know you all these years..... so so looking forward to you being here!!!!!!

YES!!!! YES!!!! we HAVE to make it happen, yopu are relatively close.... I also would love to plot to kidnapp @Kate and bringing her over!!!!! maybe we could have a detour and kidnap @dawninskip too?
I know I have insisted for @LynnG to come over but as she is much further away, no kidnapping
I have this dream to make "the Lilypad Goes to EuroDisney"
which is something I can make happen financially next year after Sarita finishes Uni....
but I have mt alternative travel, France & Malta are some places I would LOVE gto make it for the Pdders there, @Nemla especially !!! my husband went to Malta when we first started going out and I was living in Spain, I had to go back for work, and he went with his sister and brother in law (he is half Maltese) and he loved the place I know I would too, more so because you are there Vivi!!!!!

dunno, my spelling is even more difficult and even painful, very painful...and it spells "regret" it hurts just to remember, that you were here and I couldn't make it..... lately my prayers involve a lot of gratitude more than anything, but we should make it to the task of you coming back...... as I said, it hurts just to think about it!!!! so you NEED to convince hubby to bring you back!!!!!

you know..... lots of people make a stop over here.... thing is, you go to China through the Pacific, right?
My geography is real bad these days but being in Georgia maybe you do come this way?
OF course, if you can make a stop over.... ohhh my!!!!! it will be almost 10 years since we "met"!!!!!!!!!!
it would be super emotional to meet you in person!!!!!!!!!! (promise not to cry though !!!)

ohhh you know I would LOVE to meet you in person!!!!!!!! I already feel I know your family with your superb pages... I wish I win the lottery so I could ship you all to come see me!!!!!!!!!!
and yes, the envy here, in that sense, is healthy and out of love.... The Pad is so full of love!!!!!!!!!
