My Soul Sisters!

" Soul Sisters"

Last night, a group a "sisters" came together to help me raise money for the MS Walk! I want to say thank-you to everyone for their love and support! A special thank-you to Amy and Karen for organizing this fun filled evening! Also a huge thank-you to my sister Jessie for donating a Massage Gift Package for the "raffle" and making us a delicious dessert! I'm not sure where the other gifts came from or who brought all the freezer meals but I want to say that your generosity, love and prayers has touched me deeply!

You have given me a sense of hope and peace! I truly believe having love and laughter in your life is part of the "healing" process...I'm realizing that although my body needs much more time to recover, it is because of friends, family and God's grace that my physical disabilities seem minor. I still struggle with the unknowns and fear of what the future will hold but I know God is Faithful!

A Surprise Valentine Dinner!

Well, my husband did it again! He had me fooled! What was suppose to be a surprise for him, (going out for dinner with another couple), backfired...it was a big set-up! I figured out that he must be doing something after I called the place where he said he made reservations to add two more people but was then told..."No, we don't have anyone with that name or number." So then I figured: either we're going somewhere else for dinner OR maybe he was going to make us dinner...but there was no food to be found and I still have another couple that is suppose to be going out with us! I was getting a little worried!

But sneaky, sneaky Rolf had been talking with the guys from our bible study group and came up with the plan to surprise us girls with a special "Dutch Gourmet Dinner" (mini-fry pans). It did get more complicated for Rolf because I was home all day with a sick child but in the end he still pulled it off!

All the girls were totally surprised, unfortunately we missed one couple but they were with us in spirit! A special thanks to Joanne for "being a lifesaver"...if it wasn't for her, Rolf said we would of been in trouble! So thankfully, we were able to enjoy a great dinner with lots of candles (sooooo Romantic...) and be able to share it with wonderful friends!!!! What a great memory!

Thank-you Rolf! You are my Valentine!
