Week 37

With the 2012 elections this week, I decided to break out my red, white and blue.  Lots of positive things happened this week!  I met with a friend who brought her baby girl they just adopted after a long, emotional struggle.  It was so great to see her so happy!  Jeff's grandmother (we call her Sitti) is slowly recovering from an infection that put her in critical condition.  She is making strides every day, and is so strong!  She can't wait to meet the baby, and I know that this baby will give her the strength and determination to fight forward. Jeff's coworkers threw him a surprise baby shower that truly touched him and made him even more excited than he already is!  It is great to have so many amazing people around us!
