The Great Chocolate Chip Collection

I’ve been blogging for almost 3 years (FAF actually turns 3 in a few weeks!), and in that time, I’ve been lucky enough to “meet” a handful of other bloggers who have become friends of mine. Even luckier, I’ve been able to actually meet, in person, a few of them, even one who lives in a completely different hemisphere.

My dear friend Amy of Thoroughly Nourished Life lives all the way in Australia, and over the almost 3 years we have been in contact, she’s become a good friend of mine. She and her fiancé visited us on their visit to the US last year, she’s sent our little buddy some precious gifts, and despite being over half a day ahead of us, still manages to pop in every once in awhile to keep in touch LIVE, not just playing email/Facebook message tag. She’s truly lovely.

Amy’s going through some stuff. She’s kept the interwebs updated on her situation here, here, and here, and she’s done it with absolute grace.

Not only is she going through some stuff, but she’s also turning a year older today. So instead of being sad, we are being happy, because birthdays are to be happy no matter what. And also, Amy is one of the most positive people I know, and she wants nothing but happy times in this scary time in her life.

Not to mention, she’s getting married in October, so really, this year is full of lots of exciting things, and this stupid cancer is just a little bump in the road.

A little fun fact about Amy: she lovessssss chocolate chip cookies. Two years ago on her birthday, I “made her” a molten chocolate chip cake, last year, I “made her” chocolate chip mini egg cookie dough bites, so this year, we are going ALL.OUT.

I’m talking all-you-can-eat, all of the things, chocolate chip everything. From me and from many others. Consider this The Great Chocolate Chip Collection, and enjoy these chocolate chip whatevers from all over the blogging world.
