Who Knows Who

I thought it might be fun to play a little game. Everyone who wants to play can, just by leaving a comment and or linking to this post or to another blogger's post who is also playing the game. That way, we can all see who knows who. I think it would be interesting to know which bloggers know each other because they have met in in person and how it is that they know each other.

I will start first.

Beth is a dear friend that I have known for 12 years. She used to be my next door neighbor before she grew up and went off and got married. I guess I get the credit of bringing her and her husband together. Pretty amazing story-- totally a fairy tale one at that and they are happily married with six beautiful children. We had drifted apart through the years, but recently through blogging, we have got reacquainted which I am thrilled about.

Laurel is a good friend of mine that I have known for three years. She and her husband have adopted five children themselves and she helped me to bring home Dennis. She is very encouraging and has a wonderful sense of humor---- I think she is the best.

Kristen is a friend I met at MUGS which is a mothers group that meets at my old church. She is distantly related to one of my daughter's previous family. She is also an adoptive mom who is in the process of adopting another child through foster care. She is so comfortable to be around and I wish she would bring her kids out some time and visit me--- hint, hint.

Linda is a friend of Kristen that I met through blogging. She is a very loving and encouraging mother of three. Not only did she drop off a sweet card during Dennis' first surgery, but she and her son came and visited Dennis and I when he was in the hospital for his cleft palate surgery. What a blessing it is to meet a blogging friend in person.

So, who do you know?
