Good morning, friends! Surgery went well. I stayed two LOONNNGGG nights in the hospital. My best friend, Kendra, stayed with me both nights so DH could be home with BBC and provide some sense of continuity there. As of yesterday afternoon I am home sweet home – yay!

Debbie helped me sum up how I feel right now – sore and spoiled! I got so many wonderful gifts and visitors while in the hospital. You all loved and encouraged me through words. Dang, I am one blessed gal!

My home is full of cheery flowers now. This is from my team at work – it’s a bee in a nurse outfit carrying a sign – Bee Well. Too cute! It looks great on my breakfast table.

My mommy got me these balloons. I love the smiley face with band aids. One balloon say “It’s All About You.” Mom still knows me all too well.

My precious BBC brought me this vase filled with Gerber daisies. He picked it out all by himself and charmed the florist to toss in two extra blooms. He is so inquisitive and caring. He’s at the grandparents for the weekend to give me a little extra time to heal.

This gorgeous bouquet is from DH’s work team. I love all the vibrant colors.

This is the bouquet my Sunday School class sent to me. I haven’t been to Sunday School in a month of Sundays so I’m thankful to still have their love and support.

Now the hard part begins. It has always been a challenge to allow others to care for me. I am out of commission for six weeks. This is going to be a good learning experience for me. We have so many wonderful friends and family offering to bring us meals. My dear friend, Bridget, brought us a yummy home-cooked meal last night.

We are so blessed. You all have been so wonderfully encouraging. Thank you so much for your prayers and well wishes! I hope to be back to fun projects and simply good home design soon!
