my sweet friend :)

can i tell you about my friend? i have this wonderful friend, Sassy. we met via blog land and hit it off immediately. we've read one another's blogs, emailed and talked on the phone for a few years now. we live in the same state (which was a total surprise to both of us!) and this weekend we met up for the first time in person! her family was heading to a large city near us to have a mini vacation before she has their fourth child. we met at a science museum with all of our combined eight kids and spent some time together. not only was she as lovely and beautiful in person as she is online, she wrote this touching post about it today on her blog! i'm in a tough place right now in my life and the last 24 hours have been really difficult emotionally. then i get on the computer this afternoon and read this post of her and it brought tears to my eyes! (those of you who know me know that is saying alot- i'm totally not a crier!) she's such a sweetheart! i needed that encouragement today. so when you get a chance and would like to read an inspiring, uplifting, joyous blog~ check her out! make sure you read the story of her sweet miracle baby, Olivia. well worth the time. and for the record, she's even more adorable in person than in those pictures. such a doll! love you sassy!!
