Thanks, Stephanie!

Sweet Stephanie over at The Written Word, included me in her list of blogs honored with these:

I first got to know Stephanie through her adoption blog, but have continued to read about her life post-adoption, and read about her love for books through The Written Word. It's a love we share. I'm a voracious reader from way back. Before my trip to NYC was canceled, I was looking forward to meeting Stephanie there in person. I hope we'll get another chance to do so in the future.

My life has been enriched by so many of my fellow bloggers and the friendship we share, so I'd like to pass this along to some of my pals.

2weeks2much - this a a new favorite of mine. We have the infertility 'thang' in common and make a point of encouraging one another through our cycles.

The Baby Journals (password protected) - Paula is a new blogger friend, also. We have a friend in common, Paulette. Paula's been blogging about her marriage and the adoption of her baby lately, and her story is inspiring. She's also a frequent commenter here, and she is a great encouragement to me.

Paulette, I'm passing this one on to you, too. You are such a good friend. You have overcome so much, and you are going to be an amazing mom.

A Grade 'A' Uterus - I recently met Tori through my friendship with Shelley and Kristin, and she's doing a remarkable thing for her sister.

Shelley and Kristin, consider yourself awarded, too. I appreciate your friendship, and your blog posts are thoughtful and oftentimes hilarious.

I could go on and on. There are so many interesting and amazing women out there sharing their stories with us. I've recently expanded my blog reading to included blogs about decorating, cooking, Christian life, and infertility. I always learn something new and get a glimpse into the lives of others whom I may never even meet.
