A Precious Pickle

The most wonderful thing happened to me today... my 16 month old niece, Annabel, held my hand. It was amazing!

I went to her house for lunch today and before I left I read her a book and she was leaning on my lap and she held my hand. Her nose itched and she bent over to itch it on my leg and she still held my hand. I just kept reading the book. I said to her mom in the "book-reading" voice, "she's holding my hand." When Megan saw this she couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it!!

Babies are one of God's most precious creations! How blessed I am to have Annabel in my life!

I love you, Lil' Pickle!

Friends Forever

Yesterday I had the wonderful opportunity to have coffee with a long time friend. I found it interesting the things I thought I knew about her. We have "known" each other for about 15 years. We started working together just as I was leaving the area to live in Freeport. We reconnected when she was my boss at my part-time job. I always felt we had a special connection when she was my boss. I respected her then and even more now. She reminded me that it is important to spend time with those we love. When I left the coffee shop I vowed to myself that I am going to do this more often. Don't just say "we should get coffee sometime" but say "when are you free to get coffee?". Yesterday was proof that I love the people in my world and I want to get to know them even better than I know them now. I encourage you to open that door to your heart. Call your friend and say, "hey, when are you free?". You'll be so glad you did!

It's been a good chapter, it's been an eventful chapter. There's been love, loss, tears, sorrow, happiness, gratefulness, appreciation, growth and now it's time to move on. I think it's super interesting to look back at my life and see all the changes and all the growth that has happened. I give God all the credit because I know with all my being that it's because of Him that I am sitting here today about to tell you that He provided for me once again! As most of you know I have had 2 jobs for the past almost 6 years. I have worked in the insurance industry at one job and with developmentally disabled adults at the 2nd. I have loved both jobs immensely! Well, about 3 months ago I learned of a position at an insurance company that I knew I would be perfect for! A trainer position at Pekin Insurance. During the phone interview I was feeling super hopeful. 3-4 wks later I had a face-to-face interview which I, again, felt hopeful. Then 2-3 wks later I had a 2n
