When Meeting Someone on the Internet is a Good Thing
I recently had a fun blog experience.
Last month I reposted a story about my last name and my husband's grandfather's immigration to America from Norway. A girl whose last name used to be Vik commented. Turns out her grandfather was my husband's uncle. This makes her my children's third cousin (I think.) How cool is that?
I remember meeting this girl 22 years ago when she was 3 years old. Now she's all grown up, and married, and has a blog of her own. Click here to read Steph Anne's post about Grandpa Vik's trip to America. I love that the internet makes reconnections like this possible.
We've enjoyed getting to know her and are thankful that Google helped our paths intersect.

I'm so happy I googled Grandpa Vik's name! I hope we can all meet some day. I'll be sure to let you know if we ever head over East.
