I can't believe I won!

So, I won. I can't believe I won.(I can't tell you how many times I have said that today!) Noone would get it unless you lived here. This shin-dig is a big deal here, and one I didn't expect to win. I mean, I really didn't expect to get it. And, I'm not just saying that to "toot" my own horn. Honestly! People have been up for it 6, 8, my friend Davey was up for it 10 times before he won it. Yeah, crazy, huh? Well, in our district, it's something you gotta see to believe.

I walked with my limp, in shoes that don't feel as comfortable as my tennis shoes (yes, I'm a jeans and t-shirt and tennis shoes kind of gal!) and walked up and gave a speech. (And I didn't fall! hehehe) Now, I can honestly say, this whole experience, took my breath away. I have always heard people use that expression, but I learned what I means last night. I got up to speak, and couldn't breathe. Literally. I spoke out, but it was in short phrases. Well, hey, it wasn't the oscars, or on National TV, so it was all good. Many said my speech was okay. One came up to me after the evneing ended and said my speech touched them. That helped. I imagine everyone has a moment they will always remember. Last night was one of those for me. Sitting here tonight thoguh, I kinda wish I had gone with "Thank You" and walked off. Ah well, I did my best.

My Friend Toolman, and other friend bakerywoman came. I was glad that they were there. They were with me in that moment I realized I won. I was thankful they were there. It made the night more special. Good friends are truly a gift from God....

Well, my roommate needs on here, so until later, BE BLESSED!
