Blessings!

I know this post is going to be in the middle of several posts I had scheduled for the week, but I just have to post it now! I wanted to have a night out before Chris began his treatments, just so I could have a chance to rejuvenate myself. I had asked a friend to join me and she was able to put together a group of my friends to join us. I went out just thinking it was going to be night with a few drinks and lots of laughs but I had no idea what these sneaky little ladies had planned for me! These amazing women went and collected a crazy amount of money and surprised Chris and I with a gift certificate for a hotel at Ameristar Casino along with several gift cards to diner, and a visa gift card with an incredible amount of money on it. Of course all I could do is look at this and cry! I have never felt so blessed to have so many people who care about my family! It was an overwhelming emotion that came over me that this many people took their hard earned money that they more than likely needed themselves and thought about us! I really had no idea that I had this many caring friends that really took the time to think this much of us! It is bringing tears to my eyes now as I write this! I know I am not a very good writer and I really wish I was right now so I could put down on this blog everything that I am feeling right now!!!! I love this group of women with all my heart and don't know what I would do without them! Not only did they give me these gracious gifts, they also gave me a night filled with love and laughter than I really, really needed! So if any of you ladies are reading this, I want you to know that you are the most generious loving ladies I know and I am so grateful I have each and every one of you in my life! And know that I will be there for all of you!!!! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!!!
