{You Can Count On Me}

I don't know if I told you guys that I had been saving to meet Emmy.  So, if I haven't...I'll share the story:

 

I "met" Emmy over blogging, after I read one of her blog posts and I commented! (haha) And then she commented on my blog, and we both became followers of each other ;D  After following each other's blogs for a while, we started e-mailing each other! E-mails turned into phone calls, and then phone calls turned into Skyping, and then Skyping turned into writing letter back and forth through the mail! Over months of knowing each other, we became the bestest of friends.  "bosom" friends :)

“Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think. It's splendid to find out there are so many of them in the world.”  L.M Montgomery

 

When we would write letters back and forth, we'd always talk about meeting each other someday after we got our driver's license, and could officially drive back and forth!  But, I honestly couldn't wait that long!  I wrote Emmy a.....erm...LoNg...e-mail about how I had to meet her!! And I came up with an idea that we should start saving up our money over the Summer so that it could happen :D  

 

 

We both decorated mason jars and started saving right away.  I started saving by doing jobs like garden work, sales, extra work around the house, selling cookies, and also some birthday money ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After the Summer was over, all of our hard work paid off! We had finally reached our goal of money!! And our moms started planning for us to meet! I can honestly say I was ecstatic XD

We planned for Emmy and her mom to fly down here on Decemer 5th, 2013 at what ended up being 10:00 pm!

I can still remember the day that she was supposed to come.....

(the not so fun part) I went to a dentist appointment in the morning and then came home and made sure everything was just perfect for her to come.

(the fun part) at 8:50 that night (Precisely!!) we headed to the airport to pick them up.  We got there at 9:50, and it was 70 degrees outside during December, haha!  We went inside to wait, and I was so nervous I was shaking.  I kept looking around and pacing back and forth, and then finally I saw Emmy coming!!!! It was one of those perfect moments you always see in the movies!  We ran up to each other and hugged for so long! It was the moment we had been waiting for forever! I couldn't stop smiling the moment I met her <3

 

The weekend she and her mom spent with us went by so quickly :/ But I had the time of my life!! Although we didn't do anything that might seem super duper memorable like sky diving or something like that....it was still something that will always be so, SO special to me! We were able to do all the "bestie" stuff together that we had always dreamed of ;P

So, that's our story!
