Tests and trials come to all of us. Sometimes we may ask ourselves, "Why?" This message answers that question and was so powerful I just had to share it! Happy Sunday.

I am so happy to report that the Killpack family has been approved (how about a shout out to EMI for doing the right thing?!) and can now go forward with the Spina Bifida surgery for their daughter Maggie. I have been doing the happy dance ever since finding out the good news and can only imagine how they must be feeling! Even though the insurance is going to cover the surgery, they are still required to cover a good portion themselves. For the next month 100% of proceeds from my design shop Simply Yours Designs will be going towards this sweet baby girl and her family. If you aren't in need of a design I have set up a donate button on the site where you can donate any amount. Every little bit will help! Also, their extended family has set up a donation site where you can donate anonymously. Thank you to all who have been so supportive!

By far the biggest blessing we have had with this move is living next to such amazing people. Our next door neighbors, the Killpacks , have welcomed us with open arms and made us feel right at home. They have three kids, two that are close to my Little Guy's age, and they are just the best friends any little kid could ever ask for. Little Guy adores them, as well as their mom, Millie and of course Bishop. The Killpacks are expecting their fourth child and recently found out that she has Spina Bifida. Unfortunately, it is not the first time they have heard those words uttered during the 20 week ultrasound as their son Davy also has it. We were all heartbroken with the news but so incredibly hopeful when Millie told us about a surgery that was available now that would potentially help their unborn daughter have more mobility and possibly even walk. The Killpacks flew to Houston on Easter to meet with the doctors and then have the surgery done that Thursday. Well Thursday came and...
