A HUGE Thank You to my Friend, Victoria

She is the one who gave the new look to my blog! She is SO talented!

She is an excellent home decorator.
She grew up under difficult circumstances and has worked hard to overcome that and is a wonderful mother to her own 4 children, 3 of whom are adopted biracial children.
She nurtures her marriage.
She has a fun sense of humor!
She has a great relationship with her family (despite it being one sided more often than it should). She also has a wonderful relationship with her inlaws.

She has suffered a lot of trial and tragedy in her life.
She is currently without a calling in our church, she was just released from teaching a primary class.
She loves "trendy" music and has an eclectic taste.
She is beautiful!

She has lost over 70 pounds in this last year.
She helps just about anybody with anything.
She is a peacemaker.
She has a close relationship with her 17 year old daughter.
She had that daughter at around 29 weeks gestation. That daughter spent 3 months in the hospital and she was not allowed to hold her for a long time.

Her husband was injured in an accident at work shortly after the preemie birth and she had to take care of both her preemie and her husband.
Her 3 boys like video games.
She is spiritually in tune.
She is compassionate.
She is forgiving.

She treats others fairly and gives people the benefit of the doubt.
She has not gotten a new swimsuit in YEARS, but she plans to this summer!
She is on weight watchers.
She's one of the nicest people I haven't met in real life!
Her birthday is TODAY!!

Happy Birthday Victoria!!!
Lots of Love to you and a BIG HUGE THANKS for doing my blog!!
I LOVE it!!
