A Honest Confession...

Somehow in my daily Googling antics, I stumbled across a cute and interesting blog. I read the latest post, chuckled a bit, and thought to myself, "Wow! This girl seems so much like me!" Over the next few days, the blog stuck with me. A few days later, I found myself searching it out again. When I returned to the page and read her latest post, I again beamed with excitement in seemingly find my mental "twin."

Crazy, I know... But for weeks now, I've been following this girl's personal blog. She writes of her family and friends and always has a pleasant tone in her writing. I even recently found out she's preggo with twins! How exciting! She's just so cute! She also frequently embeds scripture verses along with her posts! I love it! So, I took the leap.......... and "Followed" her, knowing full-well she has no idea who I am.

I remember going home that day and announcing to Patrick that I have a new best friend. One I've never met or talked to and one that has no idea I exist either. Very strange.... but so exciting and adventurous at the same time! Too bad she's a girl and I'm married... seems like a wonderfully romantic way to meet someone - although, I've never met her, nor said a word... so I suppose it doesnt really get you that far. But doesnt it just seem like a perfect lil romantic movie setting?!

I have to confess that I love reading her blogs and feeling like I'm one of her close friends. Oh the fictious way social networks have of making you feel like a close personal friend to those who you'ven never spoken to or seen. I kinda feel like a stalker, but it's harmless, right? :)

So, in the spirit of stalker love - here's a true love story about a couple who met and fell in love thanks to Flickr. Apparently the couple had never met but found that their photos posted on Flickr had striking similarities. They began photoshopping themselves into the other's pictures to make it appear as if they were physically together during the photoshoot, but in actuality the photos were taken at 2 different places across the world! One in England and the other in North Carolina! How crazy is that?!? So... long story short - they start chatting and getting to know each other more and more as time goes on. Eventually they decide to meet up. They fall in love and now spend their time creating cool photos from the SAME place!

Check it out for yourself! Really cool photos, especially considering each was re-created from the other side of the world then photoshopped in! Click here for the full news story- http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29164894/.
