What friends are for...


So yesterday, we got a call from hubby's sister, saying that she had some cards from Faith's girl scouts troop. She dropped them off, last night, just before Faith went to bed. All the little girls and her troop leader had handmade these beautiful cards with confetti and horse stickers and ladybugs all over them. Each one had each girl's unique personality displayed with touching messages of healing for Faith. Carl and I had tears in our eyes as we read each one to Faith. They also had cut out pictures of horses and glued them to construction paper. They were all colors and designs and so beautiful! They also included a Beanie Baby Horse for her. The biggest thing to me was that someone remembered that Faith loved horses and had her room done in ladybugs. I don't really remember talking about that except for one comment to some of the girls that Faith was going to have a horse birthday party! Faith was so excited to take each card out of the bag and examine each piece. We lined them up on our kitchen bar so that we can all be reminded that Faith has 9 new friends who care for her! That means more to me than a million dollars! We are so humbled by the kindness of adults and children alike. I still think about how nervous I was about taking her to girl scouts and worrying that she wouldn't be accepted. All my fears were unfounded and she has become a thriving member of a group of girls who love her and hopefully are learning something from her. I have learned a valuable lesson, myself, about children that I didn't know.

TEN things about me

Here is a post in response to Lynnette Kraft's Dancing On Weathered Ground blog

Ten things about me!


1. I am a born again Christian, saved before kindergarden. I also attended a baptist church
school until 8th grade. Hated it then, but am soooo thankful now!

2. I Never wanted kids!!! I know I was crazy, I just didn't know what I would miss.

3. I love to scrapbook, for that matter, any kinds of arts and crafts. If I see it, I think I can do that for cheaper!

4. I am crazy over Alton Brown (ie: Good Eats, Food Network) He's a southern boy now, you know! Don't lie, girls, you know you'd love to have a guy who can cook!

5. I love the water, any kind of water: beach, lake, river, streams, creeks, I am NOT picky!

6. I am an old soul, described that way by my family. I relate better to older folks, enjoy doing things that my peers would be bored by (knitting). My mom says I was born like that. Most people my age(31) are already wishing for youth, but not me, I look foward to getting older! Am I too weird?

7. I am not afraid of any kind of animal except spiders! Snakes, bugs, birds, dogs, cats nothing scares me except those 8 legged little varmits!

8. I love ladybugs, my daughter's room is decorated in them. Even when they come in the house, I am ok with it. They just make me so happy, with their beautiful colors!

9. I have known my husband for half my life, in April. We were high school sweeties, the first day I came to school in 10th grade, he told his best friend he was going to marry me! AWWWWWWW, so sweet he is! He is MY soulmate, no doubt, we were meant for eachother.

10. I am mom to the cutest, funniest, sweetest, strongest little girl ever! She IS my reason for breathing every day! The world can be such a cruel place, but everything just seems right when I see that little face, every morning!

So, that's me in 10 or less! Tell me about yourselves!
