The Pioneer Woman visits Portland

Tonight I met the Pioneer Woman! 


A couple of friends and I showed up at the book store at about 3:00  p.m. to get in line for the book signing which was scheduled for 6:00 p.m.  When I got there there were only about 14 - 15 people in line.  When they handed out tickets at 4:30 p.m., we were numbers 18, 19, and 20 to get our books signed.


The most surprising part of the night?  Can you guess who this is?

 That's right, it's Erica from A Family Treehouse.  I actually saw her husband with her sweet baby first.  I think I scared him when I hollered at him . . . although we've never met, I recognized him from her blog, but he doesn't know me from Adam. 

Poor Erica is probably still there as I type this three hours later.  There were several hundred people there; I think she told me her number was 245.
