Oh, For Real! I Might Get To Meet You!

February 27, 2013 by Laura 67 Comments

This post may contain affiliate links which won’t change your price but will share some commission.

With the launch of our Oh, For Real book coming in March – we are so excited to share what is falling into place to go along with it! This is something we’ve been wanting to do for a long time. Somehow, the timing just wasn’t right. Until now.

OhForRealMeetGreet2

As our family looks ahead toward the coming months, our calendar shows quite a few out of town trips. A basketball tournament, an extended family vacation, a wedding, a family service trip, a family reunion…

During each of these trips, as we are able, we will be planning a “Meet and Greet” time in various cities. I want to meet you – For Real! (Get it? We can meet “in real life”!) I want to get to know you and learn more about your life. I am so excited about this!

What I’m not excited about? All of the areas we aren’t visiting in the near future. There are so many of you all over the U.S. and beyond that I would love to meet. Unfortunately, we don’t have any family reunions in New York. Or Oregon. Or Japan. ;)  Maybe someday I will meet all of you this side of heaven. We’ll do what we can!

So what do we have lined up in the coming months for Oh, For Real ~ Meet and Greet times? 

Thursday, March 14 ~ Kansas City ~ 2:00 pm ~ details to come!
Friday, March 15 ~ Branson, MO  ~  2:00 pm  ~ details to come!
Tuesday, March 19 ~ Springfield, MO  ~ 10:30 am  (Please email me if you are interested in helping me secure a location.)

May (sometime between the 16-22) ~ Denver, CO  ~ Purple Door Coffee ~ details pending
May (sometime between the 16-22) ~ Colorado Springs, CO  ~ details pending
Sunday, July 7 ~ Oklahoma City, OK ~ 2:00 pm ~ Vintage Coffee

Be watching for additional posts which share further details and specifics of these events. In the meantime, make plans with your friends to join us if you can!

    I’m interested in knowing how you will keep up your healthy eating on the road. We do a lot of traveling and struggle with getting whole grains on the road – last summer we went 6 weeks and 8,000 miles, 22 states in car seeing so many wonderful national parks. But, our food was less than wonderful. I just prayed over it and asked the Lord to bless us with it, but would love to know another way. Any ideas for our trip this year? It will be a small one, only 3 weeks and only 5 states (one being Nebraska, though!)

      Just today I was working through trying to figure out food for our traveling. We do have to resort to eating out a little while on the road, but try to pack as much as we can for at least a few meals. Fruits and vegetables are the most difficult I’ve found to keep up with. I’m actually thinking about packing some salad fixin’s this time!

        We aren’t sure yet where in Nebraska – we are trying to go to all 50 states and this summer plean on going to Kansas and Nebraska and some “old states” that we have already been to. I am in the process of mapping out our trip. We are going through the catologs we got from the tourism department from each state to find fun things to do – I usally let each child pick something of interest to them in each state and try to make it in the same region. I’ll keep you posted on if we come close. Do you have anything on the don’t miss list for NE?

    I was JUST thinking this morning about how I feel you have become a sort of mentor to me. I know that may sound really strange, but I admire the way your trust in the Lord permeates what you do and overflows to your writing. I continue to find great encouragement from your blog in my homemaking, motherhood and marriage. I am praying it works for me to meet you when you come to Denver!

I know it sounds silly (I think we are only like an hour from you!) but I would love to meet you, you have helped our family on our journey to eat healthier and raise great boys, and yet it seems you are so close but so far away! If you could figure out a time and place in Lincoln, that would be sooo amazing!

    So close and yet so far! Any trips to beautiful Arkansas planned??? I’m in Russellville, pretty much central AR. You could come hike on one of the three mountains around here…or jump off of some waterfalls, or hit up some biking trails, or canoe down the Buffalo River…and ther is an excellent local coffee shop that is operated by Christians and is non-profit, donating a portion of your purchase to local charities. And they’re a venue for live local music. It’s pretty much awesome. Have I convinced you yet? :-)
