What a Week!

With the "dress situation" behind us, the talent show last night was fantastic. After weeks of sewing, rehearsing, and a city-wide search for a "concrete garden angel" in the dead of winter for her stage prop, Sabrina's performance went off without a hitch. As she stood up on stage and belted out "Concrete Angel" by Martina McBride -- it appears that it wasn't just her parents that were moved by her performance as there wasn't a dry eye in the place. With all of her friends, her dad, her brother and I there to cheer her on against some pretty stiff competition (The competition was for 7th-9th graders and she is in 7th grade) she took home second place!

While we are all so very proud of her, I don't think there is anyone more proud of her than her brother. No sibling rivalries here -- they truly support eachother and take great pride in eachother's accomplishments -- they always have.

Congratulations honey - you will always be the "brightest star" in our sky! We love you. XOXO

With that chapter of our life behind us (at least until three weeks from now when she's participating in a huge art show and she's already asked me to make her a dress for that!!) .... I plan on doing a little work around the house "outside" to enjoy the day and then staying in the rest of the weekend wherein I will make myself a HUGE (maybe spiked!) soy latte, turn on some music, do a little reading and begin work on some projects I have lined up. Lock the door from the inside -- I'm ready for some "ME TIME" !!!

Have a great Saturday!
