Birthday Blessings

41 years ago today, my parents battled an enormous snow storm to bring a healthy (and might I add absolutely adorable) little girl into the world. As I celebrated today, I reflected on my past 41 years. I've accomplished a lot: I graduated from college with a Communications degree, had an incredible 20 year radio career, married the most incredible (and stunningly handsome) man I've ever met, and have the privilege to be called "mommy" by the cutest little man this world will ever see. Of course, I've seen some heartaches too; losing both sets of grandparents, my uncle, my aunt, my father in law, and one of my very dear friends were hard times for me. Having a double mastectomy was no picnic either, but every single heartache was nothing compared to the blessings I have been given.

I have such a wonderful and loving family. We are so close and enjoy each other so much. We can be anywhere, but as long as we're all together, it's all ok. My church family is such a caring group of believers who want the best for me and took unbelievable care of me and my guys when I needed them. And I just can't say enough about the incredible friends God has put in my path. I was humbled by the outpouring of well wishes from everyone today. All I could say was "wow"!

"Wow" and "Thank You!"
