The BIG day is finally here!!

The day I've been waiting on for...oh, only 46 years is here! In just about 6 hours I will hold in my hands something that I've dreamed about my entire life, a children's book with MY illustrations in them! Oh my! I still can't believe it. Probably not until I actually have it in my hands will I really be able too! And even then, I'm not sure it will truly sink in for awhile.

There was a time, not that long ago, that I had given up on that dream ever coming true. I had allowed myself to believe the comments of a few that I would never be able to draw again. Thank God for my sweet, supportive husband! God used Dean and twitter (yes, twitter, silly I know!) to push me back towards my other lifelong dream, that of being an artist.

I just want to thank my dear husband Dean, and God for always believing in me. Without you both this day would have never been =) I love you both, more than words can express.
