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."

Thank You!

Grandma Mackley and all of My sisters went in together and got me the bedding that I wanted! It is so cute! While Grandma Mackley was up here she made Alyssa a new quilt. It is so sweet! Thank You Mom for taking time to get it finished, and you to Dad, for your patience. Thank you both for coming up and taking care of the girls for me. I appreciate it more than you know!

I love the bedding. It's so cute. I can't take credit for it though. It was everyone but me. The blanket Mom made is very cute and snuggly too.
