Everything on this blog made possible by...

My Fabulous Friend, Jaime!!!!

Seriously, I wouldn't have a blog if it weren't for her. Jaime has spent hours with me on the phone, (she lives in my homeland of Virginia) conducting intense blogging tutorial sessions. If sometimes my comments get too long on all of your blogs, you should be grateful I don't have your phone numbers, because...just ask Jaime, I am really hard to get off of the phone. I guess it has sort of come back to bite her, because I totally lifted these great pictures of her right off of her blog withour her permission. Sorry, Jaime...you give some people a little knowledge...

I love blogging for so many reasons. Besides being a great way to accomplish my family history, I have met so many amazing women and consider them my friends, even though they probably wouldn't know me if they had to pick me out of a police line-up. Living in a military town has been kind of difficult for me because, you make friends, and then they have to move away. (or Military Policeman will come and get them. whatever.) As I was telling Jaime the other day on the phone, I really appreciate having all of these amazing friends that can remain a constant for me.

Also, I love blogging because it gives me a chance to (sometimes) look like I can come up with witty comments. I am not really witty in real life. If someone says something funny I burst out into a giggling fit...and sometimes, there is snorting involved. Blogging allows me to compose myself, and think of something to say...and no one is the wiser if I have been snorting or laughing like a hyena. Blogging is really a win, win situation for me.

so...

Thank you, Jaime! This really means the world to me!

Jaime is an awesome friend to have, even without blogging tutorial sessions. She always does these thoughtful things for people. When I was having a horrible week she brought me a care package with all of my favorites just to cheer me up. Oh, and I think I should share that when I was 9 months pregnant with Brian she helped me pack my entire house because we had to be out in 12 days at the buyers' request. Most notable in that story is...Jaime was in her 8th month of pregnancy at the time of our packing. Also, when Mike had to start the new job in Georgia and we couldn't join him because our house hadn't sold yet...yeah, Jaime was there for me then, too. She brought me Wise Onion Rings to calm my nerves. She knows I am an onion ring snob. I can't eat Funyuns. They feel too sharp to me, and cut my tongue. Jaime pays attention to detail like that.

I would link Jaime's awesome blog now, so you could all go read it...but, I still haven't figured that out yet. Jaime...you can be expecting a call about, "how to link" within the next week.

Love, Ya!

Seriously, Thanks a Million!

Oh, and Jaime...I still can't get the spell check on blogger to work. I'll be calling about that, too.
