Essay contest
I went to Charlotte last weekend to visit my sister and go to my old friend, Kat’s grandfathers; 95th birthday celebration. Mady had a cold and was miserable so the first night was LONG and sleepless. Going out of town without Justin is so hard right now. But the party was very fun and the girls were a delight so it was a successful venture. And to update on the essay contest….Justin called me on my way to NC and told me that a certified letter came from Ferring. No I did not win the big one, but I did get honorable mention! And I am very excited about it. I have been writing for literally as long as I can remember but this was the first time I had ever entered a writing contest of any sort. So the girls won a $500 scholarship…I can’t complain! Not only will my story get out there to help other women going through what I went through, but I will get to start a fund for the girls to get a college education. They are contacting Dr. McGinnis’ office to arrange for a ceremony where they will give us our prize and so forth. Anyway, it may not be a huge deal, but I am enormously proud!
