Another of the "and Friends" part of the Reunion.

The first thing I noticed about SarahK of Mountaineer Musings is that, unlike when she blogs, she actually capitalizes the word "I" when she talks. A fact made noticable by her adorable Texas accent.

What surprised me is how incredibly young she looks. I'll bet she can't even buy cough syrup without getting carded. She claims to be 28, but since I didn't card her myself, I can neither confirm nor deny this assertion.

Now, the point of these "Meet the Family" posts is to tell you things about the attendees that you won't discover just from reading their blogs. SarahK is a tough one to write about, since she's JUST like her blog - which is a GOOD thing - except more intensely so by an order of magnitude.

She's sweet (I've seen sugarcane fields that were less so), and charming, and witty, and FAST with a comeback line. She's almost kittenish in her degree of adorability. To be around her is to bask in a glow of congeniality that borders on the supernatural.

The one thing I was worried about was her devotion to Christianity, and I had concerns that she would be continuously offended by the Family's debauched antics.

Not so.

She took it all in good stride, and was very gracious on the rare occasions that she gave voice to an objection over an f-bomb or casual blasphemy. The odd thing was, she had this way of making you WANT to behave yourself around her. Even _Jon of We Swear - who habitually raises cursing to a Michaelangelo-like art form - VOLUNTARILY did his level best to de-sailorify his vocabulary.

Why? Because Sarah just exudes that sort of charm.

Positively bewitching, it is. I'll bet she weighs the same as a duck.

And the way she dotes on Frank J. of IMAO... you think she's got the girl-in-love goo-goo-eyes going on at her blog?

Oh. My.

Frank - that lucky, LUCKY man - had this cuddly little snuggle-bunny devotedly at his side like his personal guardian angel. Smiling at him, hugging him, kissing him, laughing at his jokes - Sarah has no trouble letting the world know that she's proud to have Frank for her man. This is a trait I find admirable. Cold fish women with a "don't-touch-me" attitude are the norm when they're as devastatingly lovely as Sarah. Given her super-modelish beauty, had I passed her on the street, I would've expected her to behave as a rich man's indifferent arm candy.

This is NOT SarahK.

She is as warm and wonderful a woman as you'd ever hope to meet. Friendly and charming and gracious. Devoted to her man and not shy about expressing it.

An admirable woman. And it was my great pleasure to meet her.

Oh, and she has the prettiest blue eyes...

[enter SarahK]

*STOMACH PUNCH*

[exit SarahK]

...ow...

Did I say blue? I meant green.

...ow...

I'm gonna go put some ice on this. Meanwhile, go see her take on the Reunion.

Final thought: Sarah draws better stick figures than Frank does.

Final final thought: She's NEVER going to forgive me for not voting for her T-shirt babe picture.
