Long week...

I didn't post last week but what can I say? I'm new at this. Actually, I had one of those livejournals in high school but that was a while ago. Wow where did the time go? I'm realizing that I am getting older FAST! That's kinda scary. I mean, I'll be 25 in a little over a month. And I know that in the the grand scheme of things that is NOT old, but when you work with a bunch of girls (ok, ladies) who are 20-21 twenty five seems rather old. I just remember turning 20/21 myself not long ago. Craziness!


Last Sunday night I had gotten my Not Me! Monday post all ready and then Stellan got sick. Really really sick. I have been in prayer all week for him and hope that you will join me.

I hope I didn't jinx the poor little guy. Not really though, because this is all part of God's plan. If you do read Stellan's story make sure you check out his name gallery. I was thinking of doing his name with links at work.

I general I've felt pretty crummy all last week and throught the beginning of this one. My IBS has been aggrivating me a lot and my body is sore in some annoying places. It is also the beginning of allergy season which means several months of sinus headaches, sniffling and coughing for me. No fun, but at least I'm around to suffer through it!

The Beginning of a Blog

One day, I was on Facebook and I saw that my friend Brian had joined the group Onesies for Preemies in the NICU. I have a very large very soft spot in my heart for babies so I decided to go check it out and saw that there was a link to the drive's website


On their blog was Kayleigh's button that I followed to her blog.

I was very excited to find out that she was fighting for life in the NICU in Charlotte since I am originally from the Queen City! I read quite a bit of her story the first time I found her blog, but that night I went to bed and didn't think about checking for updates for a while.

About a month later I thought about Kayleigh again and went to her blog where her dad had just posted that the new issue of Serious. Life Magazine was out.



I followed the link and read quite a bit of the magazine, including an article by MckMama and then followed another link to her blog


And since then, I've been hooked, following their blogs, plus, discovering and following new ones like Praying for Abby, whose dad Brent Riggs is actually the creator of Serious. Life Magazine.



And Harper's blog


And one I just started reading last week:




So I decided to try it out and start my own blog!
