I would like to introduce you to some of my friends.

I have been thrilled to death recently with all of my new "followers". I can't believe that this many people read my itty-bitty blog! (That is assuming that those of you who are "following" me are actually reading my posts...HA!)

I am officially BLUSHING!

And since I do have so many new followers, I would like to introduce you to each other.

First of all, I would like to welcome my niece Stephanie to world of Blogging! Her new blog, The Life of a Farmer's Wife, has me laughing hysterically!

You see, 10 years ago the absolute LAST place I would ever, ever, ever expect to see Stephanie was working on a farm. Fast-forward 10 years, here she is, married to Lance, living on a sure 'nuff farm, growing wheat, peanuts, corn, soybeans, and COTTON (I remembered this time...HA), and if that wasn't enough, now they raise CHICKENS!!!
You know that song "Ladies Love Country Boys"? That song just about sums up Stephanie....except her dad doesn't wear ties to work, her mom can make a MEAN fried chicken, and Stephanie didn't study Law in college....other than that, it's just like her. HA!

Stephanie is also a bigger Nascar fan than I am, and that is saying A LOT!

Next, I would like to welcome Catie Hamilton, and her new blog
The Hamilton's

After a few days of reading each other's blog....I realized that Catie grew up in the same small town that I did (and I still live in), went to the same schools, know the same people, and she is even a member of a
sister Church of Christ.

WHAT A SMALL WORLD!!!

Catie, her husband Chris, and her adorable baby boy, Tucker, are about to move out to the country and build a new house. I just have two words for them.....
TURN KEY!!

Just tonight, I noticed that a "design" buddy of mine, Laura, aka: "NavyWife", has just started "officially" following my blog. Laura doesn't have a blog (you don't, do you?), but she (along with her buddy Jeannine) has her own website called TheDesignBoard.net. This is a FANTASTIC board for all things design/decorating! But, it's not just decorating....we talk about any and everything! Are you having a hard time figuring out how to decorate that living room? Are you looking for a fabric that you fell in love with but you just can't find? You got a weird bill in the mail? You want to gripe about your bad day? Then go to The Design Board and check it out!
Oh, and in case this post get buried....I have a link over in the left hand column under "My Favorites".

Also, don't forget my dear, sweet friend, Susan, of Standing on Faith. Her blog talks about her journey after the recent loss of her little girl Allie.

I also just noticed that another one of my nieces, Mallory, is following me too! As far as I know, she doesn't have a blog....YET. She up and moved away from us to get herself a college edumacation. She wants to be a weather girl meteorologist. She watched TWISTER one too many times when she was younger. HA
No seriously, we are all extremely proud of her and we miss her terribly!!
