Sunday was one of those wholesome days that reminded me how special this community can be. 🥹 After knowing @Valerie Frey online, I finally got to meet her in person for the very first time and somehow it didn’t even feel like a first meeting. We clicked right away, like we had already known each other forever. ❤️ What made this visit even more special is that Valerie and I share the same birthday month, and she had planned this trip monnnnttthhhhssss in advance just so we could finally meet. That honestly meant so much to me. I felt incredibly honored that she would put that much thought, planning, and effort into making this happen. So naturally, I wanted to do my part and make her feel welcomed. 🥰 She got to meet the Mister (Mario) and my Mini Me (Evelynne) and then we kicked off our first evening together with dinner at Kaju Tofu House. Valerie ordered the small tofu intestine soup and spicy chicken. It was her FIRST time trying intestine tofu soup…and she actually liked it! 😂👏🏼 I was like, YASSSSS we’re already expanding the food adventures! After dinner, we headed over to Downtown Disney and World of Disney to do a little shopping for our Tuesday Disney adventure. Since the Halloween decorations were still up, I also wanted to show her around and let her soak in a little Disney Halloween magic. 🎃✨ And because anyone who comes to visit me apparently gets the full Lena treatment 😂. If we have workouts planned, I make a little fuel packet for beforehand and a recovery packet for the aftermath. You come visit me, I’m going to feed you, fuel you, recover you, and make sure you leave with memories. 🤣💪🏼❤️ What I loved most about this night wasn’t really the food, shopping, or Disney decorations. It was the fact that sometimes you meet someone through a screen, share little pieces of your life over time, encourage one another…and one day that online friendship becomes a hug, dinner together, laughter with your family, and actual memories being made.
