I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Wow! And some people think they're not actually alive until their born. You better take care of yourself! Eat heathy food and take your prenatal vitamins! You're growing a baby who needs all the extra love and care it can get.
Oh, by the way. If you're in a chocolate brownie icecream craving mood, the same Blue Bunny Fundge Brownie icecream can be found in an Albertson's Fudge Brownie carton. (Made by the same people at a fraction of the cost). Just what you need, I know.
O.k. number one.. I don't like pictures of the weekly update. Kinda creeps me out. Plus it says the va-jay jay word on it.. :)
Second, I love that widget too. To change it, you just hit the space bar and it starts all over.. No need to getting off and on again. :)
Third.. I miss your face. Can we have a slumber party and eat cucumbers and vinegar with chips and dip and talk about boys and stuff?
Finally, when are you coming down again. Lunch is in order. There's a new place called 25 Main that I want to take you to.
Love ya
Kate
p.s. I'm really glad that you started a blog.. ( oh I mean I started one for you) It's so nice to be in contact with you again on a day to day basis.
