blog party. of awesomeness.

So, here is the thing.
I like people.
I love meeting people.
In fact...just the other night at Ocean Blue (that mediocre new froYo place)...
A super cute-stranger-girl came up and said she loves reading my blog, and wanted to know if I had Pocket Edward with me.
I am ashamed to say he wasn't in my pocket.
Oh crap...I didn't have pockets! I am good...*hand.on.forehead.wiping.away.fake.sweat!*

Anywho...pretty much all of you know, Camille, right?
Well, she and I are joining forces and throwing a Meet-'N-Greet...
In Mesa...
And it will be awesome...
And it will be on May 9th...
At lunch time...


All I need to know is who is IN...
We need numbers so we can figure out the fine details.
Such as, restaurant, or at a house?
Pot luck lunch, or Dessert Soiree?
Once we know if you are in, we will email you the details. :)

So, who wants to meet me in the flesh?
Who knows me in the flesh, and still likes me enough to chill with my flesh again?

UPDATE!
Some people from Utah want to come, and are willing to do a carpool thing. so Utah people...comment here and get together!

Have fun with your meet-up!

little ms. sassy shelby said...

It's only like a an 11 hour drive to get to Mesa from Orem UT, right? That's totally acceptable for a lunch date with Busy Bee Lauren. Wa wa wa! I wish I was in AZ I would be on it like Blue Bonnet.

Hannahkin said...

okay, so now that i've had my temper tantrum in my own little language, i'd like to cry... because i want to come sooooo badly :(

Alexa Mae said...

I'm in.....you've got my email addy. Can't wait!!

Jayci said...

sounds like fun... unfortunately my icy plane tickets are frozen in the form of no money. :P haha! SO I hope it all turns out fabulously. Are you seriously a vegetarian?? I read it on Camille's blog post. I thought you've had recipes for chicken enchiladas or something before... DANG girl! I'd be impressed if you were and feel normal if you're not. :oP

Nancy Face said...

Welp, I'm out...gotta work that day! :P

sasa said...

Wish. I. Lived. Closer.

:(

Kimberly said...

I won't be out the till August!!! Have fun tho!

Cat said...

too bad PA is way too far away, it would be nice to meet you

omar said...

If Nancy's not going, I'm not going. Unless Ted's going. Is Ted going?

Lauren said...

Dude...my mom isn't even coming. This is going to be laaaaaheeeyaaame.

Jennifer said...

I'd love to come, but unfortunately it's a plane flight away from Portland to Mesa :-( I say we all make the pilgrimage to Forks for the next Meet and Greet; I'll totally be there!!

Kayla said...

I would love to meet you, you make me laugh all the time and I bet would be so fun to hang with! Un-forutunatly I can't escape the kids.....If ever you are in Ca. come on over...we watch twilight all the time!!!!

Laura Sue said...

well ya know... i'd love to but thats a pretty far drive for lunch

Steve and Amanda said...

May!? How 'bout July? Ah Man.. I'd totally be there but baby will only be like 2 weeks old May 9th and we aren't visiting until the end of July :(

Lauren said...

How far away is Mesa from Vegas?!

Lauren said...

Just looked it up!
Vegas to Mesa is about 260 miles. I gotta talk to the hubby about that!
But it sounds super duper fun :)

Shelby Lou said...

that is my last weekend in vegas! SAD DAY! or I would... I had a dream I met you and ted the other night. it was trippy. You were sad though and there were mexican gangsters in the parking lot of your apartment complex.

srsly i have weird dreams.

Clint & Alicia McLaws said...

Lauren, I totally thought of you the other night. A lady came into my store proudly sporting a Forks High School womens' volleyball shirt =]

Sasha said...

Fun! Im so glad I live in Mesa! I Wanna come!

Lauren said...

Yay! So we have...

1. Alexa
2. Maybe Lauren
3. Sasha

We need more people! Do people hate me?

Leelou Blogs said...

I'm seriously debating the 17 hour drive to come chillax with you. We have to meet so that we can realize we're meant to be friends and plan our trip to the LA premier together :)

Lauren said...

LeeLou - If you come, I will take you on your own personal tour to all of the cool places Mesa has to offer. Do it.

omar said...

Google Maps says it would take 1 day and 11 hours to drive there. And that probably doesn't count bathroom breaks. Or sleeping.

Leelou Blogs said...

I so want to!
I also think that you need to make a trip up here and we can head on over to Vancouver. Bring UC and Moon. "We're going to be great friends."

Jensen Family :) said...

First of all I loved opening up your blog to another gorgeous wedding photo! I loved being able to see the detail on your beautiful dress and those pink flowers brightend up my day!

Second I would be there in a snap if I had a privste plane that could fly me to sunny warm Arizona from chilly cold Idaho!

Maybe you could come to Idaho, we would show you a great time!

We will be spending the summer in our hundred year old cabin in the mountians, 20 miles from Yellowstone Natl. Park, come visit!

Mauri said...

Um I know you & still like you enough to come chill with your flesh again so can I be IN???

Oh yeah & I need your address. I have a small something for you. So e-mail me :)

D'Rae said...

I would do love to be there, but cannot. I live in a lame state that is too far away..... Stupid State!

Jscrapalex said...

Oooh, I have a good idea. How about all us Utahn's, and close surrounding area, just carpool down. Then it would be an entertaining drive down and an entertaining get together and an entertaining ride back. We could even swap drivers. Yeah, you should mention that idea to the Ut folk.

J and L Palmer said...

wow i didn't realize your blog went national.. that's awesome. um, lunch is always fun for me to get out of the house.. problem.. kid's invited? prob not i'm guessing. that would be my set back

Lauren said...

Lindsey - Yes! Kids can come! I want to see Arys!

Lauren said...

Omar - Just hold it, and get here.

I think Google is bluffing...can you really get here that fast?

Niki {A*Lovely*Lifestyle} said...

you know i'm in.

Lauren said...

Mauri - I am emailing you...NOW!

Lauren said...

Yay! Niki is in!

Holly Janeen said...

*sigh*
have fun.

Yvonne said...

; (((((((((

ashley said...

Lauren, I wish I could come and meet you! But it's funny that you posted about this because (don't get freaked out) you were in my dream last night! I met you at a talent contest that you were doing, and I was trying to get everyone to vote for you. I remember meeting you and thinking, wow, she is just as cool as her blog! Weird, huh!?

omar said...

Lauren, you've never been in any of my dreams, but I did have a nightmare recently that involved emo Ted and early-1980's Nancy. [shudder]

Matt and Stephanie said...

I can come, I live out in phx, but I drive out to mesa all the time, so count me in!

Shayla said...

Darn!! I won't be there until June 27 {to July 11 YaY!} & heck yes I'm counting down the days... SO sad I can't make it to your lunch of bloggy friend awesomeness! Booooo me!!

Lily's Mama! said...

Count 3 more of your crazy blog followers in. I told my gal pals that read your blog also and they were like...EEEEKKKKK...and SQUEEE... and a couple other unintellagable sounds that I dont think I could make through the computer...just say, when, and where, and if we need to bring anything...and we are there...in a non-blog stalker type of way!
