Last week Candace Cameron Bure (aka ā DJ Tanner from Full House) came to my hometown in OhioĀ to stay at my āreal lifeā friendās house ā Clare from Peak313.com.
Iām sure Clare will have lots of fun pictures on her blog soon from their weekend together.
Anyhow, on Friday evening Ruth from TheBetterMom.com drove in from out of town and Janelle from Comfy in the Kitchen (who is also a āreal lifeā hometown friend), came over and we had a Girls Night Out!
One of the reasons I am drawn to Candace is because of how faith and family oriented she is.Ā I just love her genuine heart and solid beliefs.
So hereās how our evening went.Ā First we had dinner.
Then we had dessert.
Check out this cake!
Miss Fitness aka Peak313 loves to eat off everyone elseās plates ā here sheās caught in the act!
Then we had a group photo taken.
Then we went for a walkĀ away from the crowds and sat down together and visited for an hourā¦ and took more pictures.
People recognizedĀ Candace as DJ Tanner but did not overly imposed.Ā Candace politely paused for a photo with strangers and then went back to chatting with us.
Being the crazy bloggers that we are ā we were all instagramming on the spot!Ā Janelle and I snuck into a selfie of Clare and Ruth ā and the funniest part ā Candace picked up my phone and took a photo of us!!!Ā š
Then we went back to Clareās house where Clare swiftly changed into her pajamas and we all got comfy on the couch talking.Ā Over the course of our long evening together, weĀ covered every topic under the sun.Ā Hanging with Candace was like hanging out with an old friend.Ā Her āgirl next doorā personality and humble transparency makes her easy to love.Ā She is clearly a woman who has God at the center of her life.
Faithful readers, will you please be lifting Candace up in your prayers?Ā She lives and works in a challenging and unique culture.Ā Ā I am so grateful for the place God has planted her and forĀ herĀ courage to be honest about her faith.Ā Ā Please pray that God opens doors for her, protects her family and gives her strength as she balances her family, work and ministry.Ā And when you see new projects she is working on,Ā pleaseĀ support herĀ āfacebook, tweet and share it with your friends. To God be the glory!
Love this and love you!
How cool!! Maybe next year you can get her to speak at the WLW conference??? Iāve been a fan of hers and her brotherās LONG before they announced they were Christians!! So pleased to see how theyāve maintained their āwalk with the Kingā and havenāt let celebrity get to them!!!
Today, Iām mourning the loss of a beloved actor, Cory Monteith from Glee. So sad that such a young life was taken so soon. He was very talented. Iām praying for his family as well as his girlfriend and co-star Lea Michele. She must be absolutely devastated right now. So very sad.
This is fabulous! I love Candace and I love each of the rest of you ladies too ā¦ how fun that you all got to hang together! =)
Courtney- Thank you SO much for your sweet words and encouragement! It was my pleasure to finally meet you all in person, although I feel like weāve known each other for a really long time. I love how blogging and social media has connected us all. Much love to you and looking forward to next time we meet! And thanks to all Women Living Well fans and followers for your support of me. Blessings to you all!
ABSOLUTELYā¦I ve already been praying for her, and her brother Kirk in their endeavors for the Lord! Your photos were pretty neat. Thanks for sharing it with us!
In Ethiopian culture it is perfectly acceptable to eat off of others plates, Clare would fit in :-))
Hi, Iāve been following Candace for quite some time now. Great to see this post & now Iām following/subscribed to all of you ladies! I love hearing about women who are living their lives to make a difference & helping others to do the same. It is exactly what I am trying to do as well with my life, family, art business.
