Lunch with a Real Life Friend

Yesterday, I had the amazing opportunity to have lunch with Jennifer from Smelling Coffee. Several weeks ago we realized that we lived closer than we thought. One of us lives on the east side of the city, the other lives on the north side, so we met in between at Noshville Deli in downtown Nashville. It's such an interesting moment when you have a blog friend who turns into a real life friend. We fell right into conversation talking about how we met our husbands and raising children to when we came to know the Lord. It was as if we were long time friends who were catching up.

Jennifer is the real deal. What you read on her blog (go and visit!!!!) and who she is in real life is the same thing and it was so refreshing. She is a step ahead of me in the seasons of life with her marriage and children and I feel like I can learn so much from her!


She brought Anna Claire The Princess and the Kiss by Jennie Bishop, and tile coasters for me! Anna Claire woke up just in time to get her picture taken.

Jennifer is beautiful, encouraging, funny, loving and warm and I can't wait to have lunch with her again soon!

Wow - what kind things you said! I repeat back every one of those about you! :-)

It was a true privilege and gift to get to meet you face to face and heart to heart. I'm looking forward to another "real" visit soon - and to getting my hands on that baby again! :-)

Enjoy this wonderful weather, today! ;-)

Sarah, you and Jennifer were right next to my office at lunch. I wish I could have popped in to see everyone.

Sounds like you both had a great time...blogging really makes the world a much smaller place!
