It's Been A While!

It's been quite a few months since I last posted anything on here.  My life has changed drastically since then as well.  I have taken a full time job.  I thought I would enjoy it, but I don't.  I like parts of it.  I knew several of my co-workers when I started.  They are part of the reason I am out there, and the only thing that makes it tolerable at all.  It's very hard being away from E & J.  I miss my time with them terribly!  As long as I thought about getting a full time job, now all I can think about is how to get back home with them. 

Brittany and I completed the Fight For Air Climb for the American Lung Association.  It was a lot of fun, and we walked for Layne Grace - that made it worth it.  We didn't end up walking the stairs, but we did complete the 5K and we also plan on tackling the Susan G. Koman race coming up.  I would LOVE to be able to run it, but walking works too, as long as I am moving I guess.

I am going to make every effort to do better at posting from now on.

Well, I decided to get a little crafty lately!  Several days ago I posted pictures I had found of "monster" cupcakes, so I decided to give them a try.  They turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself.  Of course they look nothing like the professional version, but hey, there is always next year!  I also borrowed my mother's sewing machine.  I love the apron I made, but just don't look too closely at the hems!  I couldn't sew a straight line to save my life I don't believe! 

Bagel Witches.

Just Getting Started

I know this lady who is a complete inspiration to me.  She is facing trials right now that no parent should have to face.  She gave birth to a beautiful baby girl on October 14, 2010 who has Trisomy 18.  Layne Grace Gaston is a miracle already.  They didn't know if she would be born alive.  She was.  They hope to take her home today.  Her future, like everyone's, is not promised here on Earth.  They originally gave her about a week because of her severe heart defect.  They are taking it day by day and are cherishing every moment they have with her.  I pray often for the Gaston family and think of them constantly. 

This Blog is dedicated to all things wonderful in honor of Layne Grace Gaston.  I hope the things expressed here will touch some one's life the way little Layne has touch mine.
