Well, it's Sunday night. I think I have averaged blogging at least once a week in the last few weeks. Anyway, I just wanted to share how blessed I am! God has given me a wonderful husband, the most adorable little girl, the absolute best parents in the world and a great realm of friends and extended family. Tuesday morning I went to Lake City to a workshop. About 11:00 I received the most aweful news. A 29 year Williston native ran her SUV into the back of a stopped school bus. She died instanly, leaving behind a six month old baby girl in the back seat, unharmed. I did not know this family, but she impacted many people. Several of the teaches that I work with taught her in elementary or went to school with her. Her mom teaches at one of the other Williston schools. She volunteered at the high school and loved to watch her brother play baseball.

Needless to say, when I got to momma's to pick up Jessica, I just hugged and kissed and held her for a long time! I could not watch the news or talk about the accident without crying. I cannot imagine Jessica not remembering me if something were to happen to me. As I was putting her to bed and kissing her good night and telling her for the hundredth time "I love you!" I just cried! There was a little 6 month old baby girl not too far from us that no longer had a momma to put her to bed. Please keep this family in your prayers!

Thank you Jesus for all your many blessings to me and for safety each and every day for my family and friends!!
