Together At Last!



We've met! Sophia and I have met each other in person!

It was everything I hoped it would be! I got out of the truck and started walking toward her house. I saw her door open and close. I saw her, Sophia, my Pen Pal for over 2 years! I thought to myself "Look it's a picture of Sophia but she's running at me!" It was just like a story book. We ran toward each other. We smacked together in a big, happy, smiling, screaming, hug.

She showed me around her house. We looked at her pets. Ate dinner. Talked about Dance, old letters, remembering the first letters we both received, how amazing it is that we are actually looking at one another, not just a picture of Sophia or a picture of Me. She showed me where she put the first picture I ever sent her. We talked about our week that we will get to spend together starting Thursday. And what fun things we are going to do.

I didn't feel like I was meeting someone for the first time. I felt as if this was someone I'd known forever. A friend. A sister.

I remember writing this (click here -> http://ak2mi.blogspot.com/2009/02/it-would-be-fun.html ) thinking that it would never happen that we would never meet. But we have!

It was the best day EVER!
