“As you create a home, don't get distracted with a lot of things that have no meaning for you or your family. Don't dwell on your failures, but think of your successes. Have joy in your home. Have joy in your children. Have joy in your husband. Be grateful for the journey.” ~ Marjorie Pay Hinckley

Post Christmas Updates....

Can I just tell you all, how incredibly awesome this Christmas was?!

First off, it's not everyday that a girl gets everything she hopes for - for Christmas no less!! I'm blogging to you from my very own, personal, pretty, pretty, pink laptop computer. :D

I'm happy about this because #1....it frees up some time during my day to complete my novel. (Insert CHEEZY GRIN here...)

#2....Stann bought it for me.

#3.....Stann believes in my talent as a writer and thinks I have the potential to see my book get published.

Okay...so stopping right there.....that's the biggy. I could just cry!! Tears of sheer joy, I assure you. How many people can you list off that absolutely, truly and unconditionally believe in you and your dreams? Help you find ways to facilitate it?

I'm so overwhelmed with love and gratitude for his belief in me. I've got perma-grin again. It just won't go away....!

He could've stopped there and I still would've labeled this the best Christmas ever - (barring the time I got my first 10 speed...LOL) simply because of the absolute love, joy, shock, awe, gratitude, etc... that have overcome me.

Wow. Like, seriously, WOW.

I just can't even begin to express all the things that I have flying around inside of my head. I've got that feeling in me - you know it - (or I assume you've felt it before) - where you're flying really high - like you can conquer anything - simply because you know that someone's got your back....? That they'll be there to catch you if you fall....?

I'm crying right now. Seriously. Over a computer. Well, not really over the computer. It's really nice, and all....but its soooo much nicer, this pure rush of knowledge - knowing that the special person you love, really, truly, absolutely....believes in you. :D

Happy Christmas everyone!
