God-Prints

Last week, during Share, I had the opportunity to call a listener and pray with her over the phone. She was going through a rough time, and one thing I specifically prayed was that God would provide for her immediate needs and that she would recognize each provision as coming from His hand, not just as a coincidence. I hope she has...and I know I have seen it in my own life these last couple of weeks. Sometimes I think it does a soul good just to hear when God's been moving, so I wanted to share this with you, both as a way to praise God for what He has done and also {hopefully} to encourage your walk!

Before I launch in, you should know that back in 2000, right after I graduated from college, I went through a significant bout of pain. Two trips to two emergency rooms...a visit to the doctor...and one wishy-washy diagnosis of a possible ulcer later, I was sent away with a prescription for Prevacid and an admonition to give up Mountain Dew, lemonade, and anything else particularly acidic. I haven't really had a big issue with the pain again {random bouts of it, but nothing major or long-lasting} until 2 weeks ago. It hit me at 8:15 on Thursday morning, right in the middle of an Egg McMuffin. {Which, for the record, I never eat, but I got a free one that day. Also for the record, I regularly eat things much worse than that.} Within minutes, the pain was so severe that I couldn't stand up straight, talk well, or breathe with ease. Lynne immediately sent me home, thus bringing about my first ever time to miss BLT.

And here begins the record of the God-prints.

* My friend Marie was home that day and she kept me company on the phone while I commuted home - a trip that took probably an hour and a half. I was in so much pain, I was hunched over the steering wheel, and my hands and lips had gone numb from the pain. She prayed aloud constantly and read Scripture to me as I drove. Any other given day, she probably would have been busy or gone at that hour, but that day she was home with time to spare and she prayed me home.

* Ryan, whose schedule is always full WEEKS in advance, happened to have a slow day that day and was able to leave work at noon. This is quite literally NEVER an option for him. EVER. Not only that, but he had a student doing a clinical rotation with him, and that meant even more than usual, he shouldn't have been able to leave work, but God had that all worked out.

* Lynne called me after the show and told me she did not want to see me again until I'd been checked out, which IS the only reason I got immediate testing. It wasn't like I could skip going back to work for the rest of eternity.

* Ryan took me to an emergency room out of town {at my request} and I was pretty nervous about heading in during the height of flu season. But we walked in the door and were taken back immediately and were out in less than an hour. Pretty sure that never happens this time of year. I had absolutely no contact with any other patients. Every person I saw in that ER was ridiculously nice. No one weighed me {you girls understand that this fact in and of itself is a praise}, the person who took my blood got the vein in one try and did not leave a bruise, and they were all careful to not order tests that might be costly if I could wait to get them at a better rate later. AND the ER called me the next day to ask after my health. Nice.

* We had no plans at all that weekend - other than Ryan's plan to work on Saturday, which meant I could rest. And one of his co-workers called and offered to sub for him on Saturday so he could stay home with me. That meant EVERYTHING to me. He has the best co-workers. Other than mine. Mine really are the best of the best.

* Monday was the start of Share week, and that is the kind of week that you just DO NOT MISS at work. Period. And we were already down one employee, since Lynne's dad died over the weekend. I was so nervous about being sick and ruining Share. But Ross, our director, literally met me at the door on Monday, looked me straight in the eye, and said "You do what YOU have to do this week to be okay. You get whatever tests you need whenever you need them and you don't worry about us. Do you understand?" Wow.

* One of the big issues with this whole thing is that I live in one town and have insurance in another town. Oh. And I don't have a doctor. So, although the diagnosis at the ER was again that I had an ulcer, thy did urge me to find a doctor, get an order for an ultrasound, and have my gallbladder checked just to be sure. That was a daunting task. I knew many doctors in Fort Wayne weren't even taking new patients. Fortunately, Ryan works at a hospital {in yet ANOTHER town} and a doctor there was willing to take pity on a poor sick wife and help her get an ultrasound ordered. I got that on Monday.

* At FOUR O'CLOCK on Monday afternoon, I blindly called an office in Fort Wayne to ask about an ultrasound. They were booked for weeks out, but the nice lady gave me another number to try. I called at 4:15 and they could get me in at 7:30 in the morning THE NEXT DAY. That meant I didn't have to fast all day, I could get the test out of the way before work, and I was only late by a half hour. The ultrasound was completely painless, too, which was a bonus. AND - one more thing. It was one of the few days that week when weather was not an issue in the morning. I was able to drive up the interstate with no snow or ice.

* My co-workers urged me to be as careful as I could all week. We had long hours and a lousy diet {for someone with issues like mine. The food was VERY good...but it was pizza...and Mexican...and all kinds of stuff I Probably shouldn't have} and all week long, they asked and asked how I was doing. I did great all week until Friday.

* Friday morning at 9:00, another attack of pain began. I asked for time to sit in my office and breathe. My parents were praying, Ryan was praying, and I asked my co-worker, Amy, to come back and pray over me in person. She came back at 9:45, and I was sweatin' it. I was supposed to be on air at 10:00 and the pain was so bad, I couldn't speak above a whisper. I leaned against the wall in my office while she prayed aloud for my relief. She specifically prayed that all pain would vanish when I opened my mouth to speak on the air. She got done and I looked at her and said, "That's 15 minutes away. Seriously? You couldn't pray for faster than that?" LOL!! We were joking, but you guys? I hobbled down to the studio at 10, sat in the chair with my pants unbuttoned, because the pain was too much, and the minute I opened my mouth to speak, it left. For. The. Day.

* Ryan texted me Friday afternoon and said the doctor had told him he never got the results from the hospital. They were supposed to be to him within 24 hours. I called and got right through {again, at 4 pm on a Friday} and they got them sent right over. That's when we learned my gallbladder was full of stones and needed to be removed immediately. The doctor was so upset that the results were delayed in getting to him. He said he would have had me in the hospital that week to have surgery. I told Ryan that I was firmly convinced that delay was God-ordained. I do not, for one minute, believe I had any kind of life-altering impact on the outcome of Share 2015, but I do believe, with all my heart, that in Lynne's absence, I was needed in that station. I can't be Lynne and I wasn't trying to be Lynne. But I needed to help. They needed me and I needed that time of faith-boosting. I didn't need surgery as much as I needed to be there.

* We weren't able to make any headway on this over the weekend, but when we started the process up Monday morning, we learned that the hospital Ryan wanted me to be in actually was covered in our insurance {we didn't think it would be}, so we're able to get in there for the surgery!

* The first "hiccup" was in the date - which is a week from yesterday. It was much farther out than I wanted, but I am choosing to believe it's right for reasons I don't know! It did allow me to return to work and get things done ahead for Lynne. I'd felt so horrible for leaving her with so much to do.

Excited to see what God does now!

Wrapping Up Share

* I feel kind of like I've turned into a prayer request machine lately, so I'm sorry...and not sorry. If you're up for praying for me again, well...I'm not sure how to ask you to pray! My gallbladder needs to come out on the double, and it might happen today...or it might not. Either way, we're working with doctors toward that and while I feel peaceful, I would love your prayers for direction and clarity as we try to make this thing happen quickly.

* Today is also another monthiversary in the land of Shaffer, and I am SO GRATEFUL for a husband who is taking the "in sickness" vows like a champ and has made this whole journey as painless for me as possible. My part of the pain is to manage the ACTUAL pain and he's managing the paperwork pain. To be honest, I'm not sure which is the worst. Thanks, Baby, for being the husband of my dreams every day, and most especially in this kind of thing that I never really bothered to dream about. {Who would???}

AND NOW - back to the original purpose of this post, which is to report on the end of Share 2015 at work. Friday is always the longest day of Share, because it's the only day when the whole staff has to work the entire shift: 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. or whenever they shut down the phones. I was so tired from a long week...made longer because it was a Lynne-less week AND because of my sketchy health. Ryan wanted me to rest as much as possible, so that darling man got up at 3:45 in the morning on Friday, and he DROVE ME all the way to Fort Wayne, so I could rest and not have to worry with an hour of driving at 4:30 in the morning. He then drove all the way back to Kokomo {almost a 2 hour drive} and worked a full day...and then drove back to Fort Wayne to get me. I LOVE THIS MAN!!!!!!!

Friday morning, I was in a video for work {my third that week, actually...apparently I'm a part time TV reporter and didn't even know!} and it was fun. I got to interview Silas the Super Dog!

Apparently in the making of this video, THIS particular choice of poses messed with my stomach, because immediately after doing this, I was in some significant pain again. I ended up in my office for an hour, just breathing through the pain, and after some serious prayers, I was able to be well in the nick of time to be back on the air.

We had a great day - so blessed by all the people who joined us to help make another year of radio possible!

And look who volunteered in the phone room!!! My friend Elisa!

Ryan came back to get me, but he got a little sidetracked {forever} talking to my co-worker Cindy's husband!

{Not sure what they were plotting, but I have a feeling Cindy and I are in trouble.}




After this, he told me about the great next health debacle of 2015...my stone-filled gallbladder. BOO. Apparently I handled the news much better than he anticipated. Maybe that's the advantage of being worn out from a week of Share!


We stayed for the final on-air wrap-up. We are just a couple hundred thousand away from our goal, which is really good!

 A tradition at the station is having any new employees share on-air about their first week of Share. This time it was our new IT guys, Dan. He did a great job keeping us up and running!

I closed up my desk - for who knows how many days - and said goodbye!

Thanks for taking this journey with me the last few days!

The Shafferland Shuffle

* Last Sunday, we got home from church just as the first flakes of the "clipper" {??} weather system moved in. We cuddled up on Mo, with a fresh butterbraid to snack on throughout the day, and watched a lot of TV. Nothing I love more than being home with nowhere to go when the weather outside is frightful! Plus it gave me another day to rest before a busy week at work.

 * Monday was Cyber Monday at work, and I got a chance to share the Mid-Morning hour with Ken Church. It was a good day - a chance to meet some listeners who came to the station, and a chance to catch up on things that I'd been behind on during my days off work. Good first day back at work - and good first day back in the land of the living!

* Tuesday morning, I got up bright and early to be at the hospital for the ultrasound on my gallbladder - which went really well. Thankful for a good day of travel weather for that! After the test...off to work for Share, Day 1! it was a long, but good day, with opportunities to hear encouraging stories from our listeners. I got home about 8:30 and collapsed on the couch next to Ryan to watch Fixer Upper! And for the first time in our married lives, I think I fell asleep FIRST!

 * Wednesday was another day of changes in the life of Bekah and Share! Normally Lynne is on the air quite a bit during our fundraising week, but since she missed the whole week due to her dad's death, they gave me the opportunity to have a couple of extra air shifts. I spent all my down time preparing for that! I was also so excited to see Silas the Super Dog back to take more pledges. He comes {with his owner, or course} every year, and he's so much fun.

 * Thursday...you guessed it! More Share! I was busy all week bouncing back and forth between the phone room...the studio...prepping to be on air...trying to do my regular job...and randomly participating in videos for the station. Other duties as assigned, baby!! And speaking of baby...also got to meet our co-worker Dana's new baby for the first time. What a darling little peanut! And that night, I didn't get to see Ryan until really late because he went to his sister's house to install her dishwasher. Apparently when she bought the house, the previous owner bought the thing and stuck it in a hole in the kitchen - so he had to start from scratch plumbing the whole thing!! Busy day for the Shaffers!!

* Friday was the last day of Share, and it was a long one! I had to be in Fort Wayne at 6 am, so my amazing husband got up at 3:45 in the morning to drive me to work, dropped me off at 6, drove all the way to Kokomo {almost 2 hours away} to work all day, and then he came back that night to get me. I don't deserve him. When he arrived that night, he came with the news we'd been waiting for: my diagnosis. I have a gallbladder completely full of stones, and it has to come out right away. More on this next week, but now you know! :)

* Saturday was supposed to be a county tour day for us, but the news about the gallbladder transformed it into prep-for-surgery-to-come day instead. We slept in super late {actually fell asleep on Mo Friday night, got up at 5 a.m, went to bed, and got up at 10:30! HA!!We took it easy at home all day - venturing forth only for Starbucks and grocery shopping {with the rest of the county, since we're supposed to get slammed with snow}. I look worse than I feel. I forgot to put on eyeliner, and I always look sick without it. BOO. When we got home, Ryan started typing, which is REALLY weird, and when I asked what he was doing, he said he was writing a guest blog post for the day of my surgery. I have never loved the man more than I do in this moment.

Share, Day 3

Confession: Share is both the most exhausting week of my year and the most faith-building week of my year. Even before I worked at the station, I loved listening to this week every single year, because I loved the stories. I loved hearing how other people were doing life...just like I was...and how the same songs I heard every day met them in completely different circumstances, and left them forever changed. And I still love those stories. I still love hearing them when I work in the phone room, taking pledges. I love them when I read them on the air. I just love them.

Yesterday was our third day of Share, and it was a long day - bookended by interesting commutes of the icy variety. But all the stuff in the middle was just one beautiful boost after another.

Not sure if you know all the people who work at our station, but this is Ken. He does the midday show {right after Mid-Morning}, and he's also the one I got to share a couple of hours of airtime with today. And this is proof that he can answer phones. :)

I spent a long time praying today about what to share on the air during the 3 slots I had. I've watched, over the last 3 years, as Lynne prepares long and hard for what to share, and I didn't have much time to prepare. I wanted to do it well, and I guess I can't really speak for whether or not that happened, but I know I at least did what I could to offer things that I hoped were helpful and at least a little bit thought-provoking.

And then what happens? Everyone abandons me when food shows up!!

I spent the lunch hour with Ken and Ross...and somewhere in there, Scott was in the studio too, and the three guys decided to be superheroes. I promise this was all their idea.

By the afternoon, when it was my turn to join Scott and Ross, the two of them were a little bit slap-happy, and I had to just swim with all my might to keep up!!

My favorite part was when Ross kept trying to talk, but his words didn't want to string together right, so finally he just said to me, "I don't think I know how to talk anymore. You talk." LOL!!!! How to gracefully transition out of that!

I will tell you what - these guys are all a lot of fun to work with. I'm used to spending my on-air days with Lynne, and she and I do a pretty good job of reading each others' minds and just working through conversation, but learning all these guys has been a fun challenge!! They tease and I give it right back, so I guess it works out okay in the end, right?

Another fun thing yesterday was getting to meet the brand new baby of the WBCL Family. Our Dana, who answers the phones during Mid-Morning, had a baby girl just a few weeks ago, and yesterday was my first time ever to meet her. My WORD she is the tiniest little peanut!

We all had fun meeting her and loving on her a little bit.

I hung out in the phone room the rest of the day, and had a great time in there. And I ate a lot {but not too much - I promise I'm still being careful!!!} of really good food.

If you've got some time today and want an encouragement...I'd love for you to listen to our last day of Share. If you can hear these stories and come away unmoved, then we need to talk! I'm excited. I can't wait to see how God is going to shape up the last day. I am pretty sure I am going to shed a few tears over something!

Share: Day 2

Hey everyone!!! Hope you're having a good week. I'm so thankful to still be feeling well - despite an interesting diet during Share week. :) I am also still waiting on test results, but I'll let you know when I know something.

Yesterday was our second day of Share 2015, and it was a full day!

When I was still at home getting ready yesterday morning, I heard on the radio that Silas was in the house! SILAS!!!!

He is THE cutest. Don't believe me??

CAN YOU EVEN HANDLE THE CUTENESS?????????

He was all ready to take pledges!

I love Silas days. His owner, Diana, is such a sweetheart, and she brings him in every year.

In addition to starting the day with Silas, we also had volunteer Faith's coffee cake {YUM!!!} and another listener's TO-DIE-FOR cinnamon crescent rolls. See, I told you it was an interesting diet week!!

I spent the Mid-Morning hour with Scott and Ken, and CLEARLY I did not get the wardrobe memo. Thanks a lot, boys!

{I do appreciate, though, their kind tolerance of the Bekahrazzi.}

We had Subway for lunch, and Jim Barron worked on honing his skills just in case he needs a side job...

I had the opportunity {and will again for the rest of the week} to spend a couple of extra hours on the air each day to help fill in some of the shifts Lynne would normally have. I'm excited to try something new...but there's a learning curve with this change, so I spent the early part of the afternoon hurrying to learn new things.

I spent the end of the day in the phone room taking pledges on the phone. We had a really exciting end to our day...we hit the million dollar mark!!

So that's my recap of day two. Two more days with miracles tucked inside. I'm sure of it!

Share, Day 1

Well, first of all, THANK YOU for your prayers yesterday! I was beyond thankful that the weather was clear, and I was able to make it to Fort Wayne in a normal commute time...and I got right in and right out with my tests. Still awaiting news of what they may or may not have found, but I'm glad the actual test is behind me. Painless and easy!

After I left the hospital, I headed to work, for the first official day of Share 2015. It's always such a fun time; we have volunteers in and out throughout the week, we have amazing food, and we get to hear such encouraging stories of how God is moving in people's lives. It really is a faith-booster of a week.

For me, the faith boosting started the moment we went on the air yesterday morning. I was en-route to Fort Wayne for my test, and I was kind of nervous. Not about the test itself, but just about being alone and going to a facility I'd not been to before and finding my way and what the results would say....and I had the radio on in my car. For once, I got to put on my listener hat instead of my worker hat, and  it was just such a blessing to hear the prayer offered up at the start of the day and the songs that were so calming and encouraging. A great reminder that THIS is why we do what we do!

I'm not telling you anything here that I don't have permission to say - or that you might not already know if you heard it on air today - but if you didn't know, our Lynne's dad passed away on Sunday morning. She is heartbroken, and I know she'd love your prayers. So we are without her this week and we miss her terribly, though we know she's right where she needs to be. In her absence, I'm sharing the Mid-Morning hour with Ken and Scott this week.

I think Scott may have been listening to the morning guys too much, because he *ahem* picked on me just like they usually do. We're going to have to remedy this. :)

And the rest of the day...I worked in the phone room, taking pledges over the phones!

My friend Dawn was volunteering and grabbed my camera to take pictures of me in action. While I was talking to a listener, I heard Dawn say "HEY! DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT WITH YOUR FACE!!" {Apparently I have a one-track phone face.} So here was my best attempt:

And speaking of Dawn...here she is:

Look who else came to hang out with me in the phone room:

Ah yes! It's Mr. Jim Barron of the morning show! {This was his answer to "say cheese."}

We got to celebrate some milestones throughout the day - including hitting the halfway point of our goal!

Another of my favorite parts of the day was getting to see the family members that dropped by for dinner. It's kind of like a big family reunion!

Three days to go!! Excited for this!

Cyber Monday!

Before I launch into telling you all about Cyber Monday, I have a prayer request for you! I know some of you get up and read really early, so if you're one of those and are so inclined to pray, I am having an ultrasound at 7:30 this morning to see if my issues last week are related to my gallbladder. I'm not really nervous about it, but it would be kind of nice to have an answer of some sort. I'll let you know how it goes!!

Okay, now back to regularly scheduled blogging. :)

I mentioned last week that this is the week we do our fundraising at work. We call it Share, and it's a week that is incredibly faith-boosting and incredibly exhausting. It's fun and it's hard work - and it's always memorable!

I thought maybe you might like to peek behind the scenes, so here you go! Day One! Yesterday was Cyber Monday, which meant we didn't do the whole phone bank thing, but we focused on online giving, which a lot of people prefer to do. It was my first day back at work since the great pain debacle of 2015, and I was happy to be back at my desk!

 My main goal for the day was to knock out as much work as I possibly could, because I had no idea when or if I would be able to get in for the ultrasound I needed...and I had no idea if they DID find something during the test, how quickly it would need to be addressed. So I just wanted to be as caught up as possible.

On Cyber Monday, guests come throughout the day to share the story of how they started listening to WBCL and how the station has impacted their lives. It was so much fun to meet new friends throughout the day, and to hear their stories on the air!

During the Mid-Morning hour, Ken and I got to be on the air together, which was a lot of fun! The only time I ever get to be on the air with him is during Share, and he's just fun to be with. 

Clearly.

I'm much more dignified. Okay, that is a TOTAL lie. But it sounds good, doesn't it???

Another great thing about Cyber Monday is the arrival of the FOOD. Share is some good eatin'. {Oh please oh please, dear tummy, do not prevent me from participating in this goodness this year!!} They always make sure to have plenty of healthy food...

But then....there's the good stuff...........

I'm so excited for this week. Excited to see what God does for us!

The Saturday Six

One.

Ready to take another step toward organizing/simplifying with me this week? This is one I do NOT want to do. HEAR ME!! I DO NOT WANT TO DO THIS. But alas. It's necessary. You know the fridge and freezer? Have any science experiments going on in there? Please tell me you do. I need to know I'm not alone. What if you took a half an hour {or day, depending on the foulness} and cleaned it out. Throw out anything growing greenies, mushy to the touch, or no longer recognizable. No judgment for throwing out entire {non-disposable} dishes. Just clean it OUT.

Two.

As a girl who continues to struggle with the old ebb and flow of weight {even though I'm thrilled to be mostly holding my own 5 years after weight loss}, I really appreciated this post by Emily Freeman about the freedom found in letting yourself breathe...literally.

Three.

For those of you who may have a guy in your life {any relationship...husband, son, brother, friend, etc.} that makes gift-buying difficult, I'm happy to say that Ryan has really been enjoying The One Year Uncommon Life Daily Challenge, which is a devotional book written by Tony Dungy. My sister gave it to him for Christmas, and it's really the first time I've ever seen him enjoy reading anything! {Other than the Bible.} He finds each day really appropriate for his journey. Even if your guy isn't a sports fanatic, I think the book would be helpful, because Ryan reads snippets to me {and we all KNOW I'm no good with sports} and I find them meaningful too! Just a gift idea!

I really liked this post from Click It Up a Notch about how to photograph your everyday. Some days are really exciting and my three necessary photos for my shuffle posts are no big deal. But SOME days are a so ordinary and slow - and I loved these reminders of things I can do to take pictures!

Six.

Next week is our annual fundraiser at work. It's called Share, if you're not familiar with us. We raise funds for the whole year in that one week. It's such an exciting time, because we get to hear so many stories of how God has touched people's lives through the message and songs they hear on our station - but it's also an exhausting time because we all work extra hours and the pace is very high. It seems like Satan is clawing at us a bit this year...staff members dealing with illnesses {didn't mean to be part of that group!!!} and losses and much more...and we would so appreciate your prayers for strength in this week to come!  

The Shafferland Shuffle

* Last Sunday was a good and lazy day after a crazy busy weekend. We watched movies most of the afternoon, including Open Water, which was a COMPLETE WASTE of my time; Ryan didn't know the rule about no movies with bad endings. He made it up to me with coffee flavored ice cream. :) It is some of the creamiest ice cream I've ever had! We did make a quick trip to the Goodwill just for funsies, and while we didn't find anything we needed, Ryan did try out some workout equipment. LOL!

* Monday I got a text from Ryan while I was at work...telling me he didn't feel well. My dad AND my brother-in-law were both sick over the weekend, so perhaps we Freelan women are sickening? :) He said he felt better by the time we were driving home, so I took my time and enjoyed the gorgeous - though freezing - day. I made sloppy joes and asparagus for dinner and then we hunkered down in the office and worked together {because I really needed to write a speech} - and the illness returned. He went straight to bed, and I stayed up for my workout. :(

* Tuesday was a first! Ryan stayed home from work - sick. That has not happened in our entire marriage. He woke up feeling terrible and tried to get ready to go, but I sent him back to bed. He was in no shape to work. So I left all the medicine beside him in bed, went to work, drove home in the CRAZIEST mess of sunshine and blue skies in part of the sky and blizzardy snow in the other part of the sky, and made him chicken soup for dinner! We watched a movie and he went back to bed. :(

* Wednesday, Ryan went back to work, even though I really thought he should have stayed home another day. He said he felt much better throughout the day, and we took it really easy that night to make sure he got extra rest. He and Braeya watched the Pacer game and I did my nails in a please-hurry-spring color. Other big news of the day: we shared on the air that WBCL reached its Share goal for 2014! Huge praise!

* Thursday was a rainy day, which made afternoon caffeine an absolute MUST at work. Ryan continued to feel better but his job is so physically active that by the time he came home, he was pretty wiped out again. So he rested, and I made cookies, did laundry, watched TV, did some writing and had one of my favorite snacks of late: cereal in a mug!

* Friday was a long day to end a long week - but we tried to squeeze in some fun! I did a crossword puzzle {I'm never smart enough for those, but this one was in People magazine and mostly about actors, so I stood a chance...with the help of Google.} Ryan and I went shopping at Hobby Lobby for a little bit, and we did our grocery shopping...you can see why I shouldn't leave him in charge of picking the meat to grill. HA!

 * Yesterday we woke up to {brace yourselves...} SNOW!!! Weird to see plants springing up through snow. Ryan and I went out on a breakfast date and then got ready to head to Fort Wayne so we could work at the Kari Jobe concert. I'd been so looking forward to this one...I love her! It was a great night - can't wait to tell you more about it.
