and I'm back updating already!!
Last weekend was a blast! We had our monthly pj party crop at http://www.scrapcentral.ca I had a great time helping with games & challenges, and I even managed to complete a couple myself. :)
I finally finished my paper bag album & yesterday I took it over to Shaina for her birthday. She started to look through it and asked me if I had made it especially for her...I told her to read it and see. On the second page I had used a quote from Spencer W. Kimball so as soon as she saw that she knew I had made it just for her! And she loved it...as I had hoped she would! I knew that she would appreciate the time I put into it, and it was fun to have a total surprise for her! She's become a very important person in my life so any chance I get to show my gratitude, I try to take. I can really talk to her and not worry that she's judging me...even yesterday we had a quick visit and I was able to talk to her about some of the things that have been going on here at home...stuff I can't talk about with my mom or sister. Plus I just love knowing that Mercedes is in such a safe, loving enviroment when she spends time there. We are really lucky to have lots of family that lives with high standards & I know are great enviroments for my daughter.
