Meeting Nie....


Yesterday was Blissfest in Mesa.

Last year, I attended Blissfest where the theme was all about the Nielson's.

This year, I got to meet Mr. Nielson and Nie Nie.


And I was starstruck----with their beauty and love for each other. Their humbleness that people would want to talk to them and how Mr. Nielson really tries to care for his wife.


Stephanie was so generous and so sweet, it was just awesome to see her.


When she lived in Mesa, I used to think that I would run into her somewhere in Mesa as we frequented the same spots. And she was always someone who just seemed very real, very genuine.


And when I walked away, I was very emotional....again, blogging makes you feel close to people that you don't "know" but you know. And it was like seeing an old friend that you've prayed for and watched their life change.


And the tears I had were tears of joy---because my heart was so happy.

That's really cool. I have only heard of Nienie from comments like this one in others' blogs. I am evidently missing out on knowing about some very influential people.

If you don't mind telling me, I'm wondering... who are the Neilson's and what is the "scoop" on them?

-glad you got to meet them... sounds like a very memorable event. :)

I'm glad you got to meet her...I've only met her family and kids and seen her husband before. They are all fantastic.

Cjane is a hoot...and a bit overwhelming as well. However, that's why we love her.

Is Cjane one of the kids?
