Happy birthday, Sister!

Dear Laura,

23 was a crazy year, huh?

You finished school and got a real job...

You got to be the hot teacher...


You got a dog...(and named him Wu Tang. Seriously??)


You've dealt with more loss...(and embraced life a little harder).

You did things that scared your pants off...

Thanks for going with me, by the way!

I'd say you've accomplished a lot.

Happy birthday!!
The Hill girls love you!!

Love,
Ginny

Did I get demoted??

I keep getting mail addressed to, Ms. Ginny Hill.

What's the deal??

Just because Hubby is on The Other Side, doesn't mean I'm a Mszzzz!

"Ms." is for...
  1. Young single women who grew into...older single women (and willingly opted out of "Miss").
  2. Neo-femi-nazis who don't want to change their last names after sealing the deal. It's all the rage.
  3. And now widows??
WTFreak?


On a happy note...
Jocee got accepted to my top choice for preschool!
She is soo excited!

(And so I will shrug that envelope addressed to Ms. Ginny Hill off.)

If a Ms. is what I am now...I will rock it.

:)

Krystina's Kikis

Krystina is one of my sister's best friends.
On February 28th, she passed away suddenly in a car accident. She was just 23.


Family is everything to Krystina. Her 5 year old cousin, Jesse has battled stage IV Neuroblastoma for two years now. His treatment and progress were always top priority to her. She played an active role in his life, and was always mindful of him.



A huge source of comfort for Jesse has been his fleece Cars no-sew blanket (aka "kiki"). He has brought it along to all of his treatments and overnight hospital stays.

Knowing this, and wanting to honor Krystina's memory, a goal has been set.
Her mother, Toni has founded "Krystina's Kikis." On Krystina's birthday (October 5th), Toni plans to deliver fleece no-sew blankets to every pediatric oncology patient admitted to Children's Hospital Boston.

I would like to ask all who can, to please donate. They are accepting donations through paypal, and 100% of the proceeds are going to the materials to make the blankets.

Please help Toni reach her goal.
It's a wonderful way to honor Krystina's memory, and help sick children at the same time.
