Kelly is totally awesome if she wasn't taken she'd be on my flirting list so fast you just wouldn't believe it! hehehe

It is almost November 5 our time, so I know in probably 30 or so hours it will all be happening for our young lovely Kelly. Wishing you all the fantastical best - not that I have to wish because I know it will go so well.

love and cuddles xoxoxox

If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.

Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.

I tend to cook, clean and organize when I am stressed.  By the time Kelly gets home, my house will be in good shape.  I cleaned the refrigerator, a closet and re-organized a bedroom.  Next, I will start cooking.  Kelly, I pray each step goes as planned and will be a breeze.  I hope you can feel us surrounding you with all our love and best wishes for a great transplant.  And love also to you sister in law for making such a wonderful decision to change your life.  She is a hero.   Love you!   :grouphug;  :grouphug;
