And the Oscar goes to...

By Nancy -



My dear mother looks forward to the Oscars as others look forward to the Superbowl, so we have been planning our Oscar party all week.  We have the newspaper clipping with all the nominees, the snacks and ice cream ready, and wardrobe choices made to fit right in on the red carpet.

We took a trip to the mall today to walk, but as usual, we found some bargains we just couldn't pass up.  Very fitting for our Oscar celebration.  What do you think of our purchases, will we be red carpet worthy?

I actually never intended to purchase a dress today, but it was 50% off and I needed a new dress for a wedding we will be attending this summer.  Truth be told, I fell in love with it!  I hope you like it too.

GOOD DAY, hooray!  Love, Nancy

Hi Nancy!

O.K. that post just brought a huge smile to my face. That was hilarious! I LOVE your dressing, you look stunning in it! Your mom, well, she is the BOMB!!! She could knock out any red carpet with her clothing choice! I am so glad you were able to have fun! Seeing the smile of yours glowing is all I needed to make my Sunday complete!

I hope your insurance needs get all straightened out. What a hassle that with all you have been through, you have to deal with insurance problems. I know you will come shining out on top...just no other choice for Miss Nancy. No matter how hard the challenge is, you always rise to the occasion and outshine us all.

I can't believe you are moving back HOME on Tuesday. What a momentous occasion for you all. The kids and I were talking about it this morning and we are just in awe of you and all you have been through. God sure knows how to choose his Disciples. I know He is looking down knowing he chose the perfect one to climb this mountain and continue to blossom. You are amazing!

We love you so much. Please give your mom and dad a HUGE hug for me. Take good care and know that we are praying that this next week will be a great new start to your new life!

Love and Blessings,

Debbie

I don't think I'll let you and Lynne go shopping together for both Scott and I's sake. She never intends to buy anything at the mall, but miraculously there will be a sale that she just can't pass up! lol. And don't get me started on shoes or purses-she's got enough for a medium sized village in Africa!;)
You both look great! Enjoy the Oscars!

Please Help!

Hello Friends!  As most of you know, I have felt called to assist Christian artist Jason Dunn.  Jason made such a huge impact on my Hannah through his music and positive outlook at a time when she was emotionally and spiritually lost.  God used Jason to answer a very special prayer I had sent to him regarding Hannah. In the time since Jason and I started working together, a lot has happened.  We founded a charity for children and young adults with diabetes called the Jason Dunn Diabetes Foundation ( www.jasondunnfoundation.com ); we put together an 8 state tour to support this foundation; and now, we have launched a campaign through a website called Faith Launcher ( www.faithlauncher.com ) to help pay off the debt from Jason's new album, Abandon Progress, but also, hopefully, to raise money for our foundation. I would like to ask you to consider helping Jason and me by supporting his Faith Launcher Campaign.  You can do this by going to www.faithlauncher.com...

Pain is under control

I was very concerned last night when the pain returned with a vengeance, I almost had to return to the ER, but I was able to talk to my brother-in-law and he suggested I take a second pain pill and that made the difference. I have made sure to be on top of the pain and not let it get so bad again. Hannah stayed home again today, but I am hoping that she will be able to return to school tomorrow. This is a nasty bug! I couldn't let Scott have all of the St. Patty's day fun. What do you think, do curls suite me? Love to you all! Nancy
