Friends.Thanks, so much, for stopping by today. I’d like to introduce you to Paige from Approaching Joy. See her pretty little face up there? Let me just say: this girl is just as sweet, joyful, and sincere as she is pretty. Honestly, even more so. I can’t even remember how I came across Paige’s blog but I did. And seriously, I’m a better girl because of it.
Paige was my roomie at the Arkansas Women Bloggers Unplugged Conference and there are two defining moments that occurred during that weekend that I knew that Paige was exactly as sweet, joyful, and sincere in real life as she is on her blog:
* Kim, Paige, and I were hanging out {okay, I was trying to take a nap because these two twenty somethings have WAY more energy than I do} talking about life, dreams, goals, blogging and such and Paige says with such sincerity: I think I was put here to make people happy. She didn’t say it in an offhand kind of way, or say it just to sound sincere. She was sincere. And, she models this every single day. She’s encouraging, kind, F.U.N., and her energy is catching. She makes me want to be a better person.
* The second “moment’ was a series of moments that happened just before the Country Outfitter party at #AWBU. Paige was in on the engagement coup and insisted on doing my make up and she fixed my hair. That whole night she was so sweet and excited for me {I realize in hindsight now-I thought she was excited about her own good news that night}.
So, why am I bragging on Paige today? She’s getting married on Saturday! I am SO excited for her. And, since we live so far away I wanted to celebrate her the only way bloggy friends can:
A virtual shower! I, along with our mutual bloggy friend M.J. {actually I “met” M.J. because of Paige-on Twitter} am hosting a virtual shower celebrating Paige and her upcoming nuptials.
What’s a virtual shower without virtual gifts? I’m pretty sure I remember Paige saying she’d like to entertain more and these fun ideas come from some of my favorite places to purchase gifts to shower brides.
