#azbloggermeetup

Hello Pretties.

I had a long weekend. What? It's Wednesday? The last two days have kind of been a blur. I have been thinking, and over thinking and stressing, and after yesterday's deep crying session I gathered my thoughts, bought a new planner, made an action plan for the projects I have on my plate and powered thru a bunch of my to-do list. 
I took my little brother out to dinner and had a mini photo shoot with him and will be getting a good night's sleep.
 I read thru the love that was left in my comments yesterday and was so touched {read: Cried like a baby at the love and support my blog friends give me}. I have no good segway to talk about the post I NEED to talk about...
So back to this weekend....It was totally great but super busy. I had two blog related events that I attended. A meet-up with some great bloggers. Old faces and new friends. And, I attended the Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market conference called Revive but that is a story for tomorrow.  I had two photoshoots on Sunday that I will show off later this week as well and Mr. B had softball games until late Sunday night.
I have been a busy busy bee. 
I meant to put this up yesterday but life happened and I didn't so here are my thoughts and ramblings on Friday nights Meet up!
The Meet up was Hosted by these two beauties! 
Camille and Katie put together the greatest blogger meet up complete with a favorite things exchange between the attending bloggers!

If you would like to check out what I wore to this event go check it out HERE!
I got there a scooch late after sitting in hateful traffic.. I supposed I could have planned better and assume that Arizona traffic would be hateful at 5:00 on a Friday. Insert my "I hate sitting in traffic" face

But, I walked in to smiling faces of some of my great Internet/ social media friends! It was great to meet them in the flesh!

Despite the amount of love I have for the party planners, I had a mini hate moment when they made me get up in front of a group of 20 something wonderful bloggers who's words I envy. I don't do well with public speaking, Umm That's why I blog, it lets me get my thoughts out there from my computer. No awkward social scenario needed.
Ok, it wasn't that bad. I told them all who I was while shaking like a leaf, told all about my favorite things, and I quickly got over it when I sat down to stuff my face with the Delicious Cinnamon roll from Sweet Cakes.
What was in my Favorite things bag you ask?
Let me tell you.
-Bath and Body Works Kitchen Lemon Antibacterial Hand Soap.
{I despise foaming hand soap; I also made a joke about this when I was standing in front of everyone and no one laughed... awkward}

-Handmade hair-ties
-Sourpatch Kids
-Stickers that had owls on them
All wrapped up in a brown paper bag stuffed with really neat tissue paper.

I got two take always from the party as well including a super cute air plant, wrapping paper and a great bunt cake baked by the fabulous Jen! I would show you a picture but I ate it when I got home... 

There was a fantastic photo booth too! More photos to come since the adorably sweet photographer, Bonnie, took a ton of photos

 but these are the few I got from my own camera :) 

The beautiful and fantastic Megan and I. 
And Miss Megan and Alexis looking cute as ever with some baby candy! That sweet little Ainsley is to cute for words.

There were lots of treats, sweet decorations {That my awkward, freak self started cleaning up near the end} and there was no shortage of talent and beauty in that room. I had a BLAST and cannot wait for the next one!
