Real People Exist Online

Real people exist online. Did you know that? The people who write these blogs are indeed very real. And while a person can make anything up and put it online, I believe that a lot of people are far more honest and open on their blogs then they would be meeting face to face on a daily basis at an office job - lets say.... But, what happens when.....
What happens when the online world crosses over and becomes part of the real world? What happens when someone who up to this point only existed online becomes someone who is standing face to face with you? What happens? What happens when this person who had no voice and has only shown glimpses of their face online is now very very real?

I can now tell you what happens......

You have a great day! We can all breath a sigh of relief to know that online people do exist outside of our computers and are indeed very real (well, duh, huh?) and that they can be every bit as wonderful (if not more so) in person as online.

Ok, so... the story....

The family and I met a blogger friend today (along with her children and charming husband) for a family fun day in Estes Park. It was a great great time. The kids did great together, her hubby and mine didn't run out of things to talk about, and in between herding children up mountain trails around Bear Lakes and in a waterfall we were able to talk too.

It was all so very easy. No stress, no pressure. Just nice.

Although at first I had my worries about crossing the line between online and real life, I am thrilled that I did, and I am even happier that "real people" exist online.
