It’s nice to know that I’m not alone in the “aspiring blogger” world.  In fact, one of my close friends began blogging around the same time I did and it’s been reassuring knowing someone who is in a similar situation.  (what I really mean is it’s been nice to have someone to whom I can ask all my stupid WordPress questions so I don’t look like an idiot to strangers when I can’t figure out how to do something)

Friends, meet Amanda. 

There are a million “better” pictures I could share, but this one is true friendship: sharing Butterbeer mustaches at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Florida!

Amanda is the voice behind Rockabye Someday, in which she shares her journey of trying to start a family.  I am incredibly proud of her for putting her life out there for all the world to see and I know that by sharing her struggles and triumphs, she has touched the lives of countless others in the same position.   She is an amazingly strong individual with an old soul and her heartfelt posts only begin to touch on the type of character she has.  Amanda is honestly one of my inspirations, both as a blogger and as a person.

Now, I know this has nothing to do with traveling West Virginia and no, I don’t have any scenic pictures to show you, aside from the one above featuring myself and Amanda (if you look close, you can see a partial Honeydukes sign!).  However, Amanda is a former West Virginian (now down south on an army base with her husband) and that’s enough for me.  I wanted to publicly share how proud I am of her for putting her heart out in the open with Rockabye Someday and I urge you to check it out.  It’s not travel-related, it’s not West Virginia specific, but it is guaranteed to warm your heart.

Until next time,
Sara (WV Travel Queen)
