How have I not done this already?

Okay so I was looking through my pictures and found these from the first week of MUGG. How awesome are these ladies? Thanks girls for doing whatever it takes to make the rest of us laugh! Our lives would be so much less enjoyable without you gals!

Be there or be square!

Sydney Pilgreen is in Remission!

I just got an update from Sydney's Caring Bridge link from Tina with the exciting news! Make sure that you go read it in Tina's words. Also, it sounds like in a month or so they will be back in the land of the living! I have missed having Tina's fun self around on a regular basis, and I know that she has missed being around! I am so thankful that God has answered all the prayers that have been lifted up on the behalf of their family. It has been a long year for all of them. Hopefully, that is all going to get better soon! Hallulajah!
