Me & my "Blankie"


It's true, I'm 36 years old, a wife, a mother of three and the proud owner of my "blankie". This is a horrible picture of me but I'm hoping you'll look past that and look at the love I have for this blanket. Makenna took this picture of my in the Orlando airport after spending 7 very long days doing the whole Disney thing....yes, I was a little tired.
My BFF Jeanell made it for me right our family was moving to Germany....its been like a friend ever since. I carefully packed in suitcase when I had Kevin and he cuddled in the hospital bed with us both. It travel with me though out Europe. It took several trips over the ocean and then back again. It was at the hospital with me both time when I had surgery. I wasn't as organized with the birth of Matthew but when my husband when home to pick up the other kids, without asking he brought my blanket. I always take my blanket camping and it hangs out at the campfire. Its been puked, pooped, peeped and spilled on but it always washes clean.
I want my BBF Jeanell to know that my blanket is one of my more treasured possessions. Even though we live far away, I always feel close to her because of this gift that she made for me, by her own hands and with love!! Miss you, Jeanell!!

I loved making the blanket for you. I am glad to hear that it goes with you when I cannot. It was made with love.

My eyes are full of happy tears right now. I miss you so much and wish I could be there to cuddle with you and your blankie. Hopefully soon.
