Surprise!

My very special neice, Colleen and her husband Scott sent me a package on November 29th. It was heavy so I had Keith help me open it. He said"It's from Colleen & Scott, they sent you a Kitchenaid Mixer!" I was very happy but I began to cry. I was just so touched that they would think of me and mostly that they appreciate me. Colleen knew that my mixer was broken and that I bake alot during the holidays so she wrote this on the tag," An early Christmas gift to help you with your baking." I was very touched. How wonderful it is to receive an unexpected kindness.

My Life

November has been interesting to say the least! Early November my neice Colleen & her husband Scott welcomed their new baby girl,Karly Caroline! Our family was so excited and happy for them.My daughter,Brandi had complications with her pregnancy and delivered twin girls prematurely. They are in the NICU and doing well. We visit them everyday. The doctor feels that they are strong and will survive. Their names are Ava and Kiana. As of today they have started to gain weight above their birth weights. Please pray for them and Brandi in the days and months ahead. I have been keeping busy with family, watching Emma & Candace, my wonderful granddaughters and have actually reconnected with some special friends of mine. I have been decorating the house for Christmas and finally finished today. I'm even more excited about Christmas this year because Danielle & Dave will be celebrating with us. (last year they were away.)Meeting with my friends has been so helpful to me. Their support and love have gotten me through some rough patches. Keith is doing well,he is an awesome grandpa to the girls and awesome husband to me. Keith is definitely my rock and I thank God for him everyday. I know that their are times when he would rather be fishing .
