I 'heart' Karie!



Karie always looks beautiful!
 This is a fabulous picture of my friend Karie Caldwell. Karie is amazing! I have known Karie for 5 years and I don't think I have ever seen her without a big smile on her face! She has 3 darling boys and a really great husband, Doug. She is the girl you wish you could be like! She plays tennis like a pro, has the greatest fashion and decorating  style and her hair is always darling!
  Karie recently found out that she has a heart condition. She will be meeting with a Cardiologist on Thursday and will probably need surgery. Her kitchen has been under construction for a while and, like many of us, her house has become slightly neglected. I had the privilege to go over today and help her clean out her hubby's office and her new living room that just got a free makeover, thanks to Ace Hardware! Isn't it beautiful?! Kathryn was my helper today and she made sure all of the toys that we de-junked were fun for someone else to play with! I left with a big load of stuff in my van and I'll be going back tomorrow to tackle the bedrooms!

  2. Oh my, you said way too many things that are a bit exaggerated up there :) Thank you so much for saying such untrue things!! Even more than that, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for you literally rushing right over to help me. You not only came to help but brought me not one, but TWO dinners!! I am having some family come up this weekend to go to TOFW with me and I really was ready to lose my marbles with the condition my house has been in. I didn't know how I was going to get it all done.....especially with how sluggish I've been feeling these days. ALSO my thoughts turned to your mom tonight. I was thinking what a great woman and teacher she must be to raise such a wonderful person. This is not the only time you've been a great example to me, there are so many things I could list that I really admire about you, Katie. Back to your mom..... I wondered how I, myself, could do that great of a job raising my kids. How can I get my kids to turn out like Katie?! Do I need to send them over to your house?? Those were my thoughts tonight, so I'd like to thank your mom along with you and Kathryn, of course! You are such an inspiration and I need to be around you more so maybe it'll start to rub off onto me! I am humbled and grateful more than you know. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
