so, this weekend started off like any other. hanging out with friends. I invited my friend Lauren Hogue to come over on Friday and have a sleepover with me. So I was asking her if she wanted to watch a movie, and I pulled out Anne of Green Gables, one of my all time favorites, and asked if she had ever seen it. She replied, "That's funny you should ask because the actress in that movie is coming over to my house on sunday for tea." I was in complete shock. I mean, it had to be a joke. How coincidental is that?! I just didn't have words. I was so jealous and I told her she was sooo lucky. Anyway, we had a sleepover with Cassie and then she left around 1:00 on Saturday. Five minutes after she left, she called me and said, "Hey! So, I just told my dad about how you love Anne of Green Gables and he said that if you want, you can come over on Sunday to meet her. And you can bring your dvd and she'll sign it for you." I think i literally jumped for joy.
So today is Sunday and guess what I did. I had tea with Megan Follows, Anne with an "e." She is a very nice person; very down-to-earth. She has two kids, 16 and 14; a girl and a boy, respectively, and she drives a mini-van. I must admit that I was hoping to meet Anne Shirley, but Megan Follows is great too. She is actually quite different than Anne. She is much older now, but when she smiles, I can see that young girl who played Anne. So to all my fellow Anne fans, here are a couple pictures. =)
