Blog friends

Have you ever read another's blog and think to yourself :

"I would love to be friends with them!"

I have found a couple of new blogs and the more I read their posts and "get to know them" I am convinced that we could be friends in "real life".

I am pretty shy (although I try to hide it) but am trying to be more outgoing.

Meeting new people at this stage of my life has been difficult. I made new friends in college when I moved here, but they all moved away after graduation and I stayed. My best friends live anywhere from an hour to six hours away.

We don't have kids yet, so meeting people at playgroups or mommy and me classes aren't for us yet.

Work schedules make it difficult to join groups or take classes that meet at the same time and day, because my schedule is different every week. I have met a couple of people at church and hopefully will meet more as we become more involved.

So back to my original question...

If you have read someones blog and thought they would make a good friend, do you email them? Comment on their posts? Hope that they will look at your blog, feel the same, and pray that they email you? 

Would you feel odd if some stranger emailed you on your blog and told you they thought you had a lot in common? 

Hopefully this blog will help me to meet new people and help those I already know keep up with us! I'd love to meet you so feel free to introduce yourself!

Maybe we can go bike riding together!
