Making Friends on the Internet

Ok so I will be totally honest here. 5 years ago the idea of making a friend on the internet and actually meeting up with them I would have found a bit weird and probably wouldn't have done it. That is until I got pregnant with Kim and met some wonderful women on a message board that was specifically for those that were pregnant and due to have their babies in August of 2004. For some of us these would be our first babies, others their 2nd, 3rd or even 4th. But while sharing our excitements, worries, concerns and fears we have become friends. True friends. It's now been over 4 years and we are still chatting ever day. Still sharing the accomplishment of our little ones who will be 4 this summer. So of us have become very close friends. One of these women I have become particularly close friends with. Her name is JoAnn. We live more then 3000 miles from eachother. She in Canada and my in the US. But we talk every day. She was able to work out part of a trip she was going on this week so she could come here and stay with us for a few days. It was wonderful to have her. To finally get to do something together in person. We just hung out and chatted. I so hope that we can do it again sometime.
