Blogger Meetup (Nora)


Last Fall, I visited Minnesota and met Nora and her sister Megan. They jointly create a fabulous fashion blog (Two Birds). As soon as I met them, I fell instantly in love with these two sweet women. They're so nice!

Nora recently moved to California and I doubted I'd get to hang out with her again. So when Nora mentioned she's coming to New York with her husband Jim to attend a friend's wedding and asked if I wanted to see them, I jumped at the chance. We had dinner tonight at a chic spot and walked for blocks and blocks afterward. The conversation was so entertaining I didn't want it to end.

Nora brought her hubby along and that was a treat. Jim's a smart guy with an interesting past. He had a "bad boy" period before figuring out what he wanted in life. Then he got it. Now he seems as happy as a man can be.

Nora and Jim have very different personalities. He's outgoing and she's shy. They mesh nicely and complement each other. You can see in their interaction a deep foundation of love. Nora and Jim are about to celebrate their tenth anniversary. They're a couple who click.

What a treat it was to hang out with them! Have you ever read her blog?
