Look Out Phoenix! Rednecks Are Coming!

Andy and I are so frickin' excited...this Memorial Day weekend, we are flying to Phoenix to meet one of my favorite blog friends! I know, you think we're crazy right? That is the spontaneity that is Andy and I. I wish I could say her name or blog link, but her blog is private and I do not want to reveal her identity on here.

Her family even thinks she is crazy for letting strangers sleep in her house...lol. No worries, we've been talking on the phone/texting/facebooking with each other for almost a year now, so we've gotten to know each other pretty well. She has been my rock through all of our crazy treatments this past year and I am so very thankful that we crossed paths and that I have her in my life!  I must say that she thinks I'm a huge redneck because of my southern accent:) Gotta love South Carolina! I'm sure that she will make fun of us the entire time.

I can't tell you how amazing this blog has been with finding support and lifelong friends...there are some awesome couples on here!

She and her hubby have a shenanigan-filled weekend planned for us...we can't wait to tear Phoenix UP! Plus, it will be nice to be around a couple that is going through the same things that we are. I'm sure that there will be plenty of late night talks!

I will tell you one thing that I'll be glad to get rid of for a few days and it's this dang humidity. Grrrrrr. I know Arizona is hot, but at least it's a dry hot. Hellllllooooo good hair days!

Hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday weekend!

Oh Jessica, that is fantastic!!! You know I'm a huge advocate of meeting face to face with other bloggers, hence my trip to GA in March. I wish I could have extended my trip a little more so that we could have met up too! But if you're ever in San Francisco, you know what to do!

Enjoy your trip, I have no doubt that your trip will be just as amazing as you expect it to be. ENJOY!!!

Crap, I live in Arizona. I guess I should hide? =P

And amazingly enough, the weather has been BEAUTIFUL here! This morning it was 61 degrees. That's unheard of for this time of year here. Have fun! :)

I love you babe! You've also been my rock, and I thank God for you all the time! I'm ready to show you, Andy and your mom the time of your lives! I anticipate a few late nights of margaritas by the pool talking about girlie stuff!

You are my Redneck and I'm your Yankee, lol! I can't wait to visit you this summer and see how y'all live!

I live in Phoenix, and it made me chuckle to read about someone so excited about visiting the city where I live. ;-)

The weather is actually supposed to be quite nice here this weekend, comparatively. And it's a dry heat anyway.

Enjoy!

You're going to have so much fun! And no worries, I met one of my dearest friends in the WeightWatchers online forums 7 years ago (we all have our own struggles, right?)....I'll be in Boston visiting her for the 3rd time while you're in Phoenix :)

Have fun, be safe, LOVE YALL!
