I cannot put this beautiful friend out of my head this week. Unfortunately it is not for the best of circumstances. So I thought I would definitely honour her with happiness and complete adoration instead of feeling sad, worried and non stop crying.
My dear sweet friend suffered a heart attack this week. She is SOOOOOO young, and beautiful and the most genuine, caring girl I know. I have enjoyed getting to know her over the last 6ish years and really enjoy anytime we visit in person. We have and are on many similar design teams, so even though she has moved to BC, we still keep in contact through msg boards daily. Her husband has said that she is recovering and they hope she will be home soon. I know I believe in the power of prayer and I believe in positive thinking, and I know this fabulous girl had the numbers on her side,cause everyone I know loves Cari. But let's keep praying for her to recover well and be back to the marathon running, giving extra hugs mommy and the girl whose smile makes you feel like a million bucks!
So today, it seemed only natural to dedicate the day to her. Get well Cari, and can't wait till you are scrapping up a storm. :)
Cari's style is clean and classic.
Thanks for looking, check out her blog and send her many many well wishes, she deserves it!!!!
Cari, I will be thinking and praying for you as long as you need it my friend. Till the next time we get together and I make you laugh till you pee! I have lot's more stories girl. you know it! Just like last time. :)
hugs my friend!

Ah, Leica, you're so sweet!!
I'm doing good, feeling good and resting at home. Learning to take life easier and not stress about so many things (plus saying "no" to things won't be easy either!)
thanks for all the prayers & well wishes. It's much appreciated!
