My life in print!

I've been published! My dear friend Linda took a whole lot of time, a whole ream of paper, and probably two ink cartidges and printed out my blog! She gave it to me at church and I could have cried. It is just beautiful the way she put it together in a notebook with all the pictures arranged on the front. Since I've written over 100 posts I was thinking about having someone professionally design a new background for my blog, but I thought something could happen and everything could get erased. I'd be heart broken. And now my mom's friend who doesn't have a computer can read it. THANK YOU Mrs. Linda for creating a lovely keepsake.

I started this blog on the advice of a friend but I didn't keep it up because I DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO WRITE ABOUT. Ha! Can you believe that? Now I find myself thinking 20 times a day "I gotta write that on my blog." It has been a great way for me to express my feelings and deal with all the emotions I have been through over the last few months. It really is therapeutic for me to write. I love writing about the kids too and the funny things they say and do. I love to laugh and make other people laugh. I've shed many tears as I'm writing and I've heard you say I've even made you cry a time or two. It was really a good way for me to keep everyone informed about what was going on because I knew you wanted to know, but didn't want to call. When I log on and see that I have comments my heart literally jumps in anticipation. I have gotten to know many of you more through the comments you've written. Thank you for taking the time to do that. I still go back and reread all the comments from when I was in the hospital. You'll never know what that meant to me then and still does today.

The ladies' banquet at church last night was so fun. I am glad my table was full of my girlfriends from Edwards Middle School. It was an honor to have been asked to speak and I am thankful that the Lord helped me through it. I am more amazed everyday at my great God.
