Have you ever met someone and just had a feeling it was meant to be? I’m not talking romance but friendship – true friendship. The kind that you can tell has give and take, potential and possibilities. Those are all the things I knew were possible when I first met Krystel from ArmyWife101.com.
We met maybe a year ago at her Bevello event where she gave a few wives, moms and women the chance to do our favorite things: shop and be social. The event was a blast and we stayed in touch through other events like one she hosted at Shops Of Main Street and online from that time forward. Through chats, tweets and our most favorite way to chat – FB messenger – we realized that not only were we fellow New Yorkers but we shared the same quirky sense of humor and social awkwardness that is kinda of ironic considering this Blogger Life we both live.
Since then we have become true friends and supporters of each other’s dreams and sometimes crazy ideas. One of these ideas started through a late night FB chat we wanted a way to come together as local Fayetteville Bloggers and put together two of our favorite things: coffee and being social… that’s when #OverCoffee was born.
Krystel had stumbled upon a jewel of a coffee shop right in our own backyard. I saw her raves about it and decided I had to visit it for myself. Not too much later we decided that this little gem, Village Coffee, would be the perfect spot for our day. Not only did Village Coffee offer some of the most amazing flavored coffee and Fraps I’ve had in a long time but the setting was just what we needed. Great coffee, great atmosphere and as a total bonus it is Kiddie friendly!
So after a few more messages and a lot more planning we picked a date and sent out the invite. 15 amazing Ladies sent in their RSVP and we couldn’t have been more excited.
With the help of our amazing sponsor SpouseBox we had two awesome Giveaway Boxes and with a bit of blessing from the DIY fairies I was able to customize our gift bags.
To say the day was a success would be an understatement. We met some amazing local women who all had their own stories to share plus had a chance to share our own stories as well.
Trust me, #OverCoffee may have a bit of evolving to do but the partnership between Krystel and Tiffany definitely has many more things in store for Our Fayetteville…where together we want to be #SocialLocal…

Hi Kristen! That is the funny part …there are only 3 of us Bloggers but we had the MeetUp more to meet a few of our followers and it was so much fun!! 😀
This sounds like so much fun! It's always great to meet people in person after talking to them on the computer for so long..it's like you already know each other. Plus getting together with a bunch of local bloggers, especially for coffee, sounds liek a blast.
Wow! That is an awesome event that you gals planned! I too have felt to have found 'soul sisters' in a few of my girl pals! One moved half-a-world away but I'm glad with technology nowadays that we are still able to keep in touch! And one has been my BFF since I was 3 years old!
