Celebration Abounds

21st October 2008 | 2 Comments

After all, what’s not to celebrate about my entrance to this world 33 years ago???  My mom felt it necessary to call and tell me how nightmarish that day was for her…apparently induced labor is unpleasant.  My husband treated me like a princess, which is pretty much how it is every day, but tonight he [...]
