In July I had the opportunity to go to Nashville for a fan picnic for Chris Sligh. It was the best time ever. I was part of the picnic committee and got to meet in person some of the nicest people you could ever want to meet. My picnic committee members have become my best friends and am so blessed to have them in my life. I also got to take my daughter and my grandkids and it was wonderful. I hope we have the picnic every year. Spending a week with new friends and getting to hang out with Chris Sligh and his wife Sarah is something I will never forget. A highlight of 2008 for sure.
A couple of days before we left for Nashville, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The last part of 2008 has been the hardest days I have ever had to face. Although it was a really hard time, it was also a blessing. I have learned so much about myself and my faith and I am truly blessed for that.
So bring on 2009. No one can ever predict what the new year will bring, I am ready to get my life back. And boy am I ready for hair.....
