I learned that meeting YT members is even more fun than I expected!! I also learned that nothing beats meeting people in person. You may have seen photos, e-mailed, etc., but some people are very different from what you imagined... and some are right on! Also, it turns out that Riley is quite the shy girl when it comes to situations like this. I was very surprised to see her wanting my lap for safety more often than not. Guess that means she needs more meetups!
Oh, and I also found some new friends that I really hadn't gotten to know here on YT so that was wonderful as well!
