Starstruck

Ok....so.....I met REE DRUMMOND tonight!!!!!!! Even though I only got a few seconds to talk with her, I am completely starstruck! I'm sure I was totally babbling and not playing it cool whatsoever, but I don't even care.

I love the Pioneer Woman. I love all of her recipes...both cooking them AND eating them. I love her cookbooks, particularly the fact that each step has its on special picture so you can check yourself along the way. I love her blog and how real she seems. She talks about her faith, her family and her life...not just cooking. She just seems like someone I would want to be friends with...and I know you can't really tell from just a few seconds, but I'm totally convinced she's just like that in real life too.

My sweet hubby asked me after meeting her, "So are you inspired???". I think I was just so nervous and excited after meeting her that I hadn't really thought about it. But now, after some reflection, I AM inspired. She has made her life so real, open and vulnerable all while staying down to earth and loving the Lord. I can definitely take a few tips from her as I endeavor to continue to blog about my own life. I definitely acknowledge that I may never be the next Pioneer Woman, nor is that really even my goal, but I can still learn and grow as a blogger even if it never reaches anyone. So thanks Ree!! You are so awesome...I remain your loyal fan!


.....as a side note.....
The little miss came along for this little adventure. It was really cold outside and we had to wait in a long line. Here's a sweet pic of her all bundled up in her pink.

She's totally precious, and she was such a good sport tonight. She, however, did not seem starstruck and was wondering why the fuss wasn't all about her...go figure ;)
