I agree with everyone that you look wonderful, but as someone who entered her 40s this year, I take exception to the feeling that you don't look 48!;) Does that mean that 48 is old, and should look gray and wrinkly? I beg to differ! You look wonderful, period. Not just "good for your age". :)Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11251615655963897793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-65710211864944611902011-09-08T21:50:47.577-04:002011-09-08T21:50:47.577-04:00So sorry I'm a bit tardy with your birthday wi...So sorry I'm a bit tardy with your birthday wishes ~ Happy Birthday, Richella!

Not even three weeks after Momma passed away, I was at Relevant. I will never forget how God refreshed my spirit. Oh, how He poured His love out on me that weekend!

I'm 35 and have PCOS and wasn't sure I'd ever see the day. Even though she was a week overdue, I was in labor for 23 hrs before we had to have a c-section, I would do it all again to hear that little cry when she first came out.Shanon M.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-91810142010890798322011-09-06T14:00:21.484-04:002011-09-06T14:00:21.484-04:00I had a couple of highlights this year that come t...I had a couple of highlights this year that come to me immediately, taking all my grandchildren and their parents to disneyland and getting to meet you Rachelle at the retreat in Colorado Springs and getting to visit at length.

My husband lost his job and I was asked to appear on a new HGTV show on the same day this past June. There were definitely mixed emotions on that day for sure. Of course, the HGTV opportunity was a highlight, but as more time passes, I think Eric's job loss will be as well, as strange as that may sound. It has been sooo long since he has been able to spend any real time with the girls and I. This summer has been a time to get to know each other again. It's truly been a blessing.<br /><br />Take care,<br />Lori<br />www.lorimayinteriors.com/blogLori @ Lori May Interiorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16179906619460120110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-74198880637612843372011-09-06T13:17:31.369-04:002011-09-06T13:17:31.369-04:00Happy Birthday!

For example, last night I was speaking to my son over the phone about him purchasing a bicycle to ride on campus. It was a quick phone call and before he hung up, he said "I love you" FIRST! It gave me tingles inside out.<br /><br />Have a great week!<br /><br />Judy :)Judy @ A Meek Perspectivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16657954828484026711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-6375784599915342552011-09-06T12:46:21.558-04:002011-09-06T12:46:21.558-04:00Wow!!

I have 2 highlights this year.<br />1) My oldest son transferring to Ucla to play football.<br />2) My husband finding the strength from God to quit his job of 17 years in order to take a leap of faith & start his own company.
