WooHoo!!

I am so excited!!


I must admit that I have been down lately - life has just felt out of sorts and I have felt like I had a rain cloud that just follows me wherever I go.  


NOT ANY MORE!!


Several days after I blogged about my health issues and the side effects of my medication I started to feel so much better!!!


I actually feel like myself again!!  Oh how I missed feeling like myself!!!  I am so excited about that - you have no idea!!  It has been way to long since I have felt like this.


************************************************************************
I am also excited because I finally won something - not just ONE thing, but TWO things in one day!!


First I won the contest that we had at work - I blogged about that here.  I won a gift certificate to ETC!!  woohooo!!  With the great prices my gift certificate went a long way!!


Second I entered to win one of three giveaways on Megan's blog - It's A Darn Good Life  - click on her blog name to check out her blog.  Megan was giving away a photography book, a devotional and a photo session - I won the photo session!!!  Megan is a very talented photographer - you can check out her photography blog here.  


I never win anything so to win to things in one day just really really made me happy!!

My niece, Tennessee, got to spend the night with me last weekend and this weekend my niece, Korrine, got to spend the night.  That didn't make her little brother too happy, but Korrine loved it because she used to spend the night a lot with me and she hadn't been over in quite awhile.  


We did get to spend some time all together this afternoon at the mall looking at all of the race cars!  We are a racing family and going to look at the cars at the mall is somewhat of a tradition and it means that racing season at the local track it getting nearer.  One of the drivers let the kids sit in her car - that's right I said HER car!  The kiddos loved it!!

I even got home in time to see my favorite NASCAR driver win his first race in almost 2 years!!!

I am truly blessed, even when life isn't going exactly the way that I would want - I am still blessed.   It is those frustrating times that make me appreciate these happy exciting times more!!


Hope you have had a weekend full of blessings!
