The Facts of Life

I got to meet Lisa Whelchel at the MOPS Convention in Nashville. She played Blair on the Facts of Life. So it wasn\’t a long meeting, but long enough to get 3 books signed and have a picture taken (unfortunately, not digital…). I only wished I still had the cassette from the mid 80\’s that Lisa Whelchel recorded. I have not met many who had that album!

She signed 2 copies of her book Creative Correction and The ADVENTure of Christmas. The Christmas book is new, and it\’s terrific.

I was able to hear her speak at one of the 3 luncheons that were offered. I also got to have Julie Barnhill sign a copy of her book She\’s Gonna Blow!\”. I forgot to take my copy of her new book Scandalous Grace — which I have not yet read. I did get to attend her seminar on the same topic, and I\’m certain I will love her new book as well.

It feels a little silly… perhaps juvenile to feel a little giddy about getting their signatures. I have admired both for some time because the content of their books have positively impacted my life. I think my priorities are in check though… I didn\’t scream!

Flowers Just Because

I found flowers in my hotel room. They weren\’t part of the decor. My hubby sent them to my hotel room while I was away at the MOPS Convention in Nashville! What a treat and wonderful surprise!

I was already feeling blessed to able to go at all. I was feeling guilty for leaving my hubby with the kids for so long. He was the one who should have gotten flowers! I certainly don\’t take theses blessings for granted. Thank you honey for all you do for me and for our babies:)
