Bloggers Please Post Here

Hi all, I really enjoy reading others' blogs. I know we did this a while back, but I thought there might be new folks out there and it's nice to see who's blogging.

I have links to others' blogs on my site and went through them and edited out the links that don't work anymore. I'm always happy to add more to my blog (especially since I figured out why I had spaces in between each one!).

My link is in my siggy.

Guess what??? MIne is in my siggy too. But mine is more about since she is home and her vision, not so much abouit the journey anymore, although I have decied thatI am going to start a "year ago today" series as the first time we saw her picture was Oct 19, 2005 and it is right around the corner. Of course it will not be a actual day thing but go through our journey and the ups and downs.
