    There's so much weird stuff going on in the world, I figure its time to share a little GOOD news!  

    I just got some a few minutes ago myself!  Someone just walked into my shop and introduced herself as the editor in chief of a great local glossy magazine we have here and said she'd heard about my jewelry and wanted to feature 5 pieces in their 'things we love' section of the March issue!  I can't believe it... this is just a little hobby of mine, but now I'm going to be featured in a magazine that reaches tens of thousands of people?  Wow.  I'm still unsure about what just happened.

    Whats yours!?

    @KristenGotMarried:  That's awesome!  Congrats!

    My good news is that I got my first two RSVPs in the mail yesterday (DW so we had to send the invites ahead of time) AND found out that 20 people have already booked!  Here I thought no one would want to come. Cool

    happyface    May 2017   wedding postponed - don't know date yet

    @KristenGotMarried:  Good news, your hobby might just become your new career!

    I have decided to go on a strict diet and lose the 50lbs before the wedding! Well, maybe not all 50 of them, but MOST of them... I hope!

    I forgot to post my good news when I first congratulated @KristenGotMarried:, above.  DH and I recently received the wonderful news that the precious, little baby girl from India whom we had been sponsoring through Holt International has been placed with a permanent family for adoption! We are so happy for this new start for her little life. As a result, we have been assigned a new sponsor child, an adorable boy from China.

    @KristenGotMarried:  Wow, that's great! It sounds like great publicity for you. Hopefully it will bring a lot of business your way!

    My news I feel like shouting from the rooftops but I can't tell anyone until I give notice at my job. We've been looking to move back to Dallas for about 6 months now (we moved about 3 hours away in 2010 for DH's current job) and DH just accepted a job offer with a great company! I can't wait...we're going to look for apartments this weekend!

    We thought my dog tore his ACL but turns out its just arthritis. The vet bill was still outrageous but at least the poor guy doesn't need surgery.

    @KristenGotMarried:  Congratulations!!! Some of my work was in a Canadian Bridal Magazine last month, and will be in another edition next month. It's SO exciting!!!! Traffic has definitely picked up, I have a stack of orders I'm trying to get finished today! Uhhh which is why I'm on WB.... LOL!

    @Brielle:  That's amazing! I definitely want to talk to my DH about sponsoring a child. What organization did you go through if you don't mind my asking?

    @couawilou:  You must be SO excited!!!! Hooray!

    My good news is that DH and I are going to have a date night tonight. Friends of ours got us gift certificates for a local sushi place, and I won passes to see The Artist, so the bonus is that our night is also free! LOL!

    Congrats to everyone! Lots of exciting things!

    My good news is that, after 3 surgeries including a double matectomy, my mom is cancer free! I always knew she would be fine (she's a tough lady and they caught it early) but it's great to see the tests that prove it!

    @KristenGotMarried:  Congrats on the publicity! That's so wonderful!

    My mother's surgery went fine, nothing looks cancerous, and she should be out of the hospital and home in a few hours. I can't think of anything I want more right now.

    I've been itching to scream it from the rooftops but I can't - T is 95% sure he's taking a brand new job that will change. our. lives. The salary would be great, the job interesting, and best of all, it would be doable by remote location - so if/when we move for grad school (my first interview is next week!), he'd be able to go anywhere with a salaried job. We will have a job offer on the table sometime around next week... :D

    My BFF texted this morning - she went in for her weekly OB appt and they said they're keeping her and baby is due to arrive in the next 24 hours! It's her first baby and I'm so unbelievably excited for her! She was texting me from the tub, haha! I can't wait for the baby to be born!

    And also, DH's brother and wife are due with their first any day now......so we'll be Aunt and Uncle for the first time!

    Ah, this has made me feel so much better! Congratulations to everyone! There so many good things happening!

    For me, well I got approved for a credit card consolidation and the payment on it is lower that I was paying for all three of the cards that I combined so even though the term of the loan is two years, I'm budgeting so that I can pay it off in 1 year which means that we are that much closer to a house. I'm saving so much money by consolidating! I'm so excited!

    The past few weeks have been pretty good! DH started his new job, I got a new job offer and found out I can actually keep BOTH jobs! Full time at one, and Saturday only at my old job.  We are also getting a new bed next weekend (hey, it's the little things!) and FIL had a successful surgery, and appears to be cancer free right now!

    @bakerella:  That is so wonderful that you and your DH are considering sponsoring a child! I'm sure that you will find it to be a very rewarding experience!

    Our current sponsorship is through Holt International (www.holtinternational.org). Most of Holt's sponsorships appear to be very short term, as one of their primary ministries is to provide care for children as they await permanent placement with adoptive families or to provide nutritious food, medical care, clothing, etc. for children living in poverty while with their own families.  We've only been sponsoring through Holt for about a year, and we are on our third sponsor child, as the first eventually required more specialized care than the Holt program provided and was moved into another program, and the baby girl we were assigned last summer was recently adopted.

    There are several other organizations that offer child sponsorships.  DH and my stepchildren were already sponsoring a young woman through Compassion International (www.compassion.com) whenever I met DH. That young lady recently reached the age to graduate from that program. I know that World Vision also offers a program (www.worldvision.org).    

    Whatever organization you may select, I'm sure the child you choose to sponsor will be blessed by your generosity and caring. :)
