where are you?

April 16, 2012

I have some really good news. My friend Ellie got her pathology report back on Friday and she’s in remission! Cancer freeeeeee! Of course, she’ll be watched closely in the coming months and years, but after the surgery to remove the rest of her tumor and surrounding lymph nodes, she got nothing but GOOD NEWS.

Good news is so good.

Ellie and I have some other exciting news to share (coming soon) but for now, because of that news, I’m curious about where you are. Where do you do life? Here in Minnesota? Over by Ellie in Massachusetts? In England? The moon? Kentucky? Indiana?

Could you leave me a comment that tells me what country or city and/or state you live in? 

(I promise I’m not trying to trick you into becoming someone that I follow around with binoculars.)

If you normally don’t comment, it’s very easy. Let me tell you how:

  1. you click on the number of comments on the end of the post.
  2. you scroll through the other comments (if there are any heh) to the end and type in the submission box.
  3. you enter your name (make it up if you’d like–no need for last names) and then put in your city or if you’re more comfortable, just your state.
  4. it requires your email, but this is not shared anywhere and does not appear publicly. It’s just for me, in case I want to write to you every day forever (just kidding)
  5. you click Submit and you’re done!
Thank you so much! I wish I could meet every person who comes by here once or twice or every time. I really do.
Peace.

If you’ve never driven south on Highway 61 beyond Red Wing and Lake City on the Minnesota side or beyond Prescott and Maiden Rock on Highway 35 on the Wisconsin side, take a drive some day and have lunch in a little cafe in Stockholm or Wabasha or Pepin and marvel at how truly beautiful this landscape is.

Right now, I am in Miramar, FL. But I am an Army wife, so my address changes every 3-4 years, and sometimes even more often than that. Prior to this, I was in Elizabethtown, KY; Tyrone, GA; Odenton, MD; Laurel, MD; Okmulgee, OK; Columbus, OH…and even a few more before that from my childhood and early post-college years. It’s quite a journey!!

Greetings from Northfield, MN. I’ve been reading your blog for the past couple weeks after stumbling across it doing some genealogy research, as it turns out– we’re cousins! If you e-mail me later I can explain the connection, but it’s on the Westberg side. Kicker is, I grew up in Princeton and went to high school with Angie and Brent Johnsrud and Shari worked for my orthodontist. ; ) After reading about you and your family, it seems we have quite a bit in common. I hope we can get to know each other better and maybe meet sometime! Assuming we do, I hope you don’t go moving off to Texas. I’ve discovered a lot of relatives on my family tree that I would like to undiscover, you I would really like to get to know. Take care and blessings to you and your family!

Heather May 25, 2012 at 11:16 am

Hi Stacy!

Oh my word, so nice to meet you. My family :) I love it that you came across me via the web and all that jazz. I’d love to meet you sometime too!

Right now Elsie is yelling at me. Tired. girl.

Thank you for letting me know you found me and be in touch!
Heather
