Ohhhh! I'm so happy it is Spring! The weather has been really nice. In spite of raging high pollen counts, Virginia continues to be beautiful in the spring time. The flowers are really great, I even have a white peony blooming in my front yard at this very moment. I do not have a green thumb, so this is nothing short of miraculous! I have three peony plants... but one full bloom flower... and I just love it!

My friend Cindy came to Virginia yesterday from San Diego, and I got to spend all day with her and her beautiful baby girls (age four, and two... younger than mine, so babies). We went to lunch at the Silver Diner. We went to Woodlawn Stables for a home school field trip focusing on the care and keeping of horses (which was totally an eye opener... so much work!), which all the children loved. After that we went to Occoquan Park (way cool), and then we finished with dinner at Potomac Mills (complete with a stop by Books-A-Million). We had a totally fun, busy day.

Cindy is an amazing friend that I have known since I was thirteen years old (ugh- middle school years), and she was nice to me when others weren't during those horrid, awkward years. Our dads were both Navy, and by God's Grace they both ended up in Burke, Va; so Cindy and I actually got to finish grades 8 - 12 together. We were in each other's weddings, too. I am truly blessed to have such amazing friends, sisters, really, in my life. Three are on the west coast: San Diego, San Francisco and Seattle; and the rest are here in Virginia. I love them all. If I had my way we would all be within walking distance of each other.

Katie's MRI went well - no results,yet. She was a trooper, and a bit of a diva after... wait, she is always a diva. So, any way, she was a trooper.

Please pray with me for Eileen's mom and family. Cancer is just a really heartbreaking thing. I hate it that so much changes so fast.
