Also, I have had about 30 emails and comments asking me if I've heard about Kristen Pass, the high school senior in TX who was just voted homecoming queen! (I also got about 50 phone calls from my mom saying, "Watch it! It's on now... ok now... ok maybe at 6:00... ok NOW!" hahaha) Yes, isn't it an awesome story? I can't wait until Kennedy gets older to see how she continues to touch lives all around her. If you haven't yet heard about Kristen, you can read about her here or here or you can watch the video below. Way to go, Kristin!

Uhhhhhh...you forgot to say "thanks" to your MOM for calling you on the phone and telling you to "quick turn on the news" when this came on...remember? (I think I called you 2 or 3 times...and then you got sick :o(
Glad you are feeling better - see you tomorrow night!
Mom
Kristen's story made me cry...again! It's so sweet. And Mrs. Palin, I love her. I so hope we get to see her in office!
hehe I fixed it mom! :)
Aww , how great is that..I would want to never take it off too!
thanks for posting that, I wandered over here from your spotlight on the blog party. Love your blog, I too have 4 kids and have just returned to work (after 18 years at home) in our local highschool CBI department. Let me say how touched I was with the homecoming queen story!

Love Kristin's story!
As for Palin, I'd like to see her explain to those families what they'll do when they lose their insurance and can't get another policy due to pre-existing conditions. Or how the Medicaid cuts will affect them. I'm officially terrified. We stand to lose everything under McCain's insurance plan.
Can you tell where I stand? :)
Not a dry eye in this house tonight.........
I agree with Finding Normal on the Palin issue. Definitely don't want her in office. However, I have great respect for her and the video made me tear up. Thanks for posting it.
Gotta love Sarah! I was so disappointed when the rumors went around that she cut special ed. funding, and glad that finally people are realizing what it for what it really was: a rumor. Anyways, I won't get into too much politics here (if you want to know what side I'm on you can drive by my house to see the multiple McCain/Palin signs & the MANY bumper stickers adorning the car)
I love that second video as well...I'm so happy for her...I'm glad to see some good people in this world...none the less, teens!

your a busy blogger! cant keep up with you! just wanted to stop by and say HI
These words have always given me such great comfort. We have eyewitness testimony of our Savior! Know that I'm here praying as always!
1 John 1:1-4 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
Prayer Bears
I had seen the Palin Power news clip with all the yellow shirts ect. I love it. Go Sarah!
BUT I had not seen the homecoming queen video. Thanks so much for sharing. What a great story!
would you be able to post the html of this post-ok, you can remove your personal part lol - for those who'd maybe want to post those videos on their blogs?
I was wondering when you would post the video about Kristen. I saw it yesterday morning at work and thought about you immediately. I kept checking your blog all day to see if you posted it. LOL!
I totally agree that she rocks!! And I hope and pray that she makes it into the white house!!
How wonderful!! These are 2 very strong women and I am sure they will go far. I would LOVE to see Palin in the White House!!
Thanks for sharing! I haven't seen that one.
