a day to celebrate!

Friday's frontier fact has been bumped! Just a few minutes ago the FedEx man came down our long dusty driveway and delivered an overnight package of THE FRONTIERSMAN'S DAUGHTER ! It was totally unexpected and very thrilling! When you've waited so many years for this to happen the first thing you do is sit down and have a good cry:) But not in front of the FedEx man. I then took several pictures of the book and wanted to share one with you here. That mysterious glow reflecting off the cover is likely my face! I'm not sure why it's like that. But you get the picture! There's not enough words (for once) to convey how I feel so will sign off here.

I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart.
Psalm 9:1

  10. Congrats Laura! I'm excited to start reading your first book like many others! Sorry I haven't been on here much lately but have thought about you! Polly was here a few days.....was fun having her here. The summer has been busy thus far with all the kid stuff and work too. Glad all is well on your homefront. I will for sure talk with you after I get started reading your book! :) Hello to everyone. And tell me again what date is Paul's birthday?! I hope I haven't missed it yet but need to put it on my calendar.
