Friday Evening:
I FINALLY get to meet some of you.

LOL!!!
Okay, RULE…No camera with you when you meet me!
I hope you guys have fun:)
How exciting…
Classic……
See you had nothing…
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING…
to worry about!!!
Bathroom scene.. made for the movies!!!
AWESOME!!!!! Not only the plan, but the execution, the video, the editing … fabulous! That was awesome!
Cracking up, laughing with joy, happy happy happy for you all!!!
Keep ‘em comin’ girl! Love the video.
You. Crack. Me. Up!
But looking at this vid I feel way too old to be watching all of you have fun. But I will because it beats watching my Swiss neighbor mow the lawn after he had hip replacement surgery – 8 weeks ago. These people are incredible! If I need any “replacement” surgery done, I want it done here! Not that I’m old enough. Gettin’ close. Just sayin. (softball and a lifetime of skiing get you closer, sooner)
Look forward to hearing of your adventures.
so fun! hope you all had a blast this weekend1
I felt the excitement all the way in Oklahoma…where the wind comes sweeping down the plain.
I just left a comment on Alece’s blog…. but it needs repeating…
IAMCRYING! I love love love love looooove that you guys got to meet but I am suuuuuperrrr jealous b/c I heart all three of you and want a real life hug!
So is this the sleep over you were talking about? 
I can’t wait to hear about this!
we have PLENTY more to say about the weekend!!! don’t worry. y’all are gonna get tired of hearing about it.
i will say this for now. we talked about y’all… lots of names came up. it was like we were a part of a much larger family. this blogging community we have has touched each of us in an overwhelming way.
i’m SUCH a sap right now. be warned!!
we love y’all… we do.
I can’t wait to hear about it! (did I say that already?)
Awesomeness!! A girls’ weekend with newfound friends…all in 3D! Did they like the “real’ Mandy?
Of course they did.
Who wouldn’t?!
Y’all are beautiful.
Oh…and that was SO worth the wait.
But you MUST give us more, all the juicy details!!!
The video isn’t letting me open it on all three of your sites!!!! Aggghhhh! What is happening? I need to see my peeps. For reals yo.
All I have to say is this:
You made me almost spit out my spooners because I was caught off guard by the bathroom scene. I was laughing harder than you can imagine.
Haha.
Very nice.
Kristi: i’ll try to fix that – maybe put it in youtube or something.
Becca: i did NOT want to get all freaked out & girlie & squealing in the baggage claim… and i had a moment of sheer excitement, so i hid in the bathroom to record it. we didn’t realize until we watched the recording that you can hear lots of bathroom noises. and then we nearly WET ourselves from laughing so much. oh man we laughed a LOT.
Nevermind…it was just user error. Ha ha. You guys are beautiful. Much more so then in my head…not like I haven’t seen pictures, but well, you know.
[bless your heart]
I rewatched the Vid.. several times and even showed it off to a few girlfriends where I was leading a bible study.
Let me tell you: A WHOLE group of ladies inside a quiet lunch room with a few guys looking at the sports pages, HYSTERICS ABRUPTS.. bathroom scene.. Alece’s giggle..
a kodak moment…
Oh by the way a couple guys laughed too…
EVERYONE WANTS MORE…. inc. me!!!
One words come to mind after watching this… MANNA!
manna…… so true.
H: oh there’s more. there’s MUCH more. we hauled that video camera wherever we went. even to the grocery store. who knew we could have that much fun at the grocery store??
Oh, that was GOOD. The look on Cathi’s face when she first saw Alece was totally priceless!!
i still think my wife should be a boxer after that shove she gave alece! thanks so much for making my wife’s weekend!!! thanks for treating her like a sister and for loving her like you were best friends from long ago!!!
mark: it was effortless…
This was great!! you crack me up
Mandy, my favorite part is when you are in the bathroom mouthing the words…. lol…. seriously… I could totally read your lips and I laughed out loud for real!
[mandy -- decath's shove was effortless?! i'm not THAT pusillanimous!]
for anyone wondering, the mandy you see here is the real deal. only she’s incredibly more beautiful, gifted, funny, and insightful in person. i spent my weekend with two authentic women of God…
That was such a beautiful moment, three friends meeting, laughing, hugging . Thank you so much for sharing that moment with us.
Al: thank you for those words…
That was great. Really great. It makes me want to step out and maybe consider possibly trying to meet some blogging friends. Scary though.
I think Holly the Hispanish driver was pivotal to the success of this video
she was. there was NO way for me to get to the airport by myself. i was such a nervous wreck that i would’ve wrecked my car!
I especially enjoyed the bathroom humor portion of the show. Thanks for making it funny for the guys.
tracijane, thanks for the props! i won’t go on about my mad driving skills. i mean we’re talking boston during rush hour…
mandy, it was my pleasure helping your online relationships flourish into fo’real friends.
