Who's Your Fangirl?

This past weekend I finally broke away from my family for a much deserved break.  It has taken me 5 years to finally stand up and declare some me time and do something just for myself.  There was no one there demanding my time, asking for drinks or snacks, asking what was for supper, or just spinning my brain in 17 different directions.

The simple reason I had to get away from it all?  Meet Diana Gabaldon!  Diana Gabaldon was coming to the Fergus Highland Games for a few readings and book signings.  So I told everyone dear that on this weekend I would be free and grabbed my friend and headed for the 7 hour drive to meet my favourite author of the Outlander series. 

I am not even going to get into detail about how wonderful these books are or how they have influenced my life so much.  Diana Gabaldon was an absolute wonder to listen to and realize just how smart she actually is.  It is obvious that she takes a great deal of time and effort for each book, each paragraph and each sentence.  She knows everything about all 7 of her books and can answer any questions that you may have for her.

First day she was there talking.

This is my Fan Girl picture, I was so nervous and excited!

The end of a hard day at work.

The second day of talks.

It was such a pleasure to be at the Highland Games and to listen to Diana Gabaldon speak but to actually meet her just blew my mind.  It is something I will always remember and cherish.
