A dream of mine fulfilled


ME getting my book signed! :)



mom meeting Kate


Last evening while Dave was home with the kiddos. I had a rare night out with girl friends. No toys to pick up, no bedtime stories actual adult conversation. My friends Lisa, Mary and my mom attended the speaking engagement of Kate Gosselin from the Jon and Kate Plus 8 fame. I am a HUGE fan of the show. If you watch the show you may have noticed the name of my blog is taken from their show. So when Dave told me she was coming to Muskegon I had to go! I had said about a hundred times if she is ever in the area I would love to see her. So I had to go.


If you have looked at any gossip mag recently you have seen her or her husband on the cover claiming someone is having an affair. Well needless to say we bought these tickets way before any of these claims surfaced so these past few weeks leading up to last night made the evening more interesting.

I give her credit she addressed all the rumors. Something you could tell she was not comfortable doing. She handled it with grace and sincerity. After she addressed the rumors it was on to her story of getting pregnant, handling her pregnancy and then the immediate onslaught of handling 6 babies and 2 3 year olds. Honestly I dont know how they did it. Twins is crazy enough.

She spoke about how you must give it all to the hands of God and trust in the Lord that he will deliver. I know as a mom that is the most difficult thing to do. I see alot of myself in Kate so I am sure it is a struggle each day. I admit she has inspired me to do better and remember what ever you have is due to the grace of God.
