Busy

I spent an amazing afternoon with a family with a great deal of faith in spite of their obstacles. One of the perks to being a reporter is being able to meet so many great people. I love that they sit down with me and tell me their stories. I had prayed about getting an Easter story and God really did come through. I think everyone will really love it. I think it really tells shows the real meaning of Easter. So many times we get into the hype of the Easter bunny and candy and Christ gets lost. The little girl's name in the story is Abby. She is 6 years old and her mom has a rare blood disorder and her dad was just diagnosed with ALS. I appreciated them sitting down with me. If you are interested in reading his blog, you can go to dreamsofmotion.blogspot.com. Bill, the father with ALS, is actually writing a childrens book on a child with downs Syndrome, just like Abby. I am looking forward to reading it.
Today, I also wrote a piece on a woman who lost 50 pounds rowing. She was an inspiriation to me and it makes me want to row! She says its for everyone! I know I could lose about a good 10-15.
I also covered a news story. A 21 year old man went into our local school district and impersonated an officer with a loaded weapon. He was sentenced to one year. I spoke with the superintendant regarding the matter.
I also had to talk to what seems to be the mother of the year...lol. I am doing a mother's day feature. She has 8 children that she home schools and she has one on the way.
And tomorrow, I am covering a story at a mission center where they holding an all day event for Take a loved one to the doctor day. It is a nation wide event. Should be a good read.

So, I'm all done for the day!
Whew!
