What a couple of weeks this has been! I am so grateful for my many blessings...my life and my family and love and prayer and coming home! And this is what greeted me! Courtney wanted Stephanie to get balloons and to put up a sign on the garage door that she had made. What a beautiful and fun welcome home. I had several neighbors tell me that they thought that was such a nice touch for me...and that they then knew I was home!
Thank you for your adorable sign, Courtney! I had Grandpa take it down the next day and put it in the family room so I could see it all the time!
Some of the flowers I had in the hospital. The first one was from Brent, Karen, and family. The next from Dan, Stephanie, and family. The next one was from a dear friend of mine in the ward. And the next one was from the Relief Society President and friend.
The brown chest was from a friend of mine (Karen Blauer...who made quick friends with Stephanie in the hospital!) and the little bear was from Uncle Paul and Aunt Phyllis and the box of candy was from my friend and former counselor of mine,
I had Dad bring in the balloons, too, so I could enjoy them! They are pretty much defalted by now but are still in the kitchen until after Valentines!
Sorry I posted this before I realized I hadn't turned the photo! The tall orchid is from a dear friend in the ward whose husband passed away from cancer in November. I was so touched that she would remember me. The bouquet with the bear and candy is from aunt Celia and Tricia.
These are some of the cards I received. I soon had so many I had to tape them on the pantry door and it is filled!
These are adorable items I received in a package from Doug, Cheryl, and the girls. The two girls (for our anniversary) are Abi giving a big hug and Maddy giving a small jug! The rest are cards they all made and items for a care package while I was in the hospital. But it got detained in the mail (Abi said it was because of a snowstorm) and I didn't get it till Friday. But what fun I have had with it and the items like shampoo, etc. have come in very handy!Thanks to each of you for your love and prayers and all that you did for me! (And dad!) Words cannot express all I feel in my heart and how much I love each of you!
