Blogger Milestone #1 - My First Award!

{I am so sorry that this has taken me so long to get posted - but I had a wake up call the day I was supposed to post and I needed some time to deal. I won't go on and on about it because, frankly, it makes me sad. I found out that a very very close friend of mine is sick --- thank God it's not life threatening sick --- but it is life changing sick and I cannot imagine in my wildest nightmares how she feels. But I do know that no matter what, I want to be there for her - even if it's just to sit on the couch and watch terrible old Freddie Prince Jr. movies and cry with her.

I love you and I know that if anyone can move past something like this - it is you.}
