LOOK WHAT I GOT FOR CHRISTMAS…
A BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL!!!

Yup, she’s all MINE!  Well, that’s not completely accurate as the low-jack attached to her prohibited me from running past the nursery security guard and back home to Virginia! Yeah, that combined with knowing the strong maternal instincts of a mother who just gave birth – I decided to gently hand her back to my sister – her Momma – who continues to beam with pride!

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE PRAYERS! Smile

Yup, that’s my new home-slice and her Aunt Dink (don’t ask me…ask my sister, Mary, who forged the name!).

Since my beautiful niece, Winter, aka: Winnie (or “Winnie-Who-Poos” as her siblings appear to be fond of calling her…) was born – it’s time to get back in to the swing of more Shack-Attacks! Anyone in?!?

The next The Shack book discussion is on Tuesday, 6 Jan from 7:30pm to 9:30pm at the South Riding Panera Bread long table! Whether you liked, loved, hated or don’t know what you think, come and talk about it!

I HOPE TO SEE YOU THEN! And, feel free to invite a friend too!

    I must say, you’re an inspiration. I wish I had known you were doing this blog sooner!! I wont be at this next discussion, but I’m getting a group of gals together to read The Shack in the MOMs Club, and we’ll get together to discuss it in Feb.

    We’re (Colin and I) are also starting budgeting this year. We love to over spend and now with all that is happening in the economy its opened our eyes and we’re aiming to do better, so I look forward to Dave’s weekly posts!!

    Ahhh, you two are amazing Wink

    Sounds good to me Jen!!! Have a GREAT visit with Mom and smiling, signing, slipper-wearing Selah! Even if you can’t make it to #4, I know where you live and you know how much I love to talk…

     You’ve very welcome Paula – I know you’re gonna dig it! Despite being “fiction”, there are SO many precious nuggets about our faith – how it’s all about a relationship, not a religion! I weeped through some parts (I’m becoming a wimp in my older age!)!

    I shot up a quick prayer that hubby’s on the upswing too…

    AWESOME that you both are into teaching Dave Ramsey in your community! Dave really digs the finance stuff and I really dig that he’s so smart!

    My Mom will be in town next week, but I’m almost finished with the book and hope to make it to Shack Attack 4!

    Okay girl, let me just say I got that book a couple of weeks ago and I had no idea who it was from. You only put your address on the return. I was so excited to have it for my husband’s stocking that I didn’t even open it. I really wanted to read it too but I wanted it for him more than anything.

    So, he’s been sick for awhile now and hadn’t started reading it yet. Last night I was at a party and all the ladies were talking about was The Shack. I was determined to start reading it today, hubby would just have to wait.

    I crawled in the tub tonight opened it up and your card fell out. I was so excited. Thank you soooooo much. I just never put it together. So now I’m going to get caught up so I can participate in your discussion! Thanks!!!!!
