to be appreciated.....

doesn't happen very often....imagine how blessed i was to be honored by my trianglemommies on thursday night! an appreciation dinner just for me??? who deserves this kind of treatment??? about 40 moms, brian, and i dined at fratello's complete with cake, flowers, and a memory book they created for me.

i was boohooing all night reading everyone's kind words and looking at all of the pictures. you never really know if you have impacted a life unless someone tells you-and to read so many beautiful stories was amazing. i never really started this site for myself, it was always for that lonely, tired, bored, or adventerous mom out there in the triangle. knowing that there are wonderful ladies that will continue to take care of these moms makes me glad, no matter how sad i may be that i will no longer be the site administrator. trianglemommies surpassed my wildest expectations. of course it was because of all of the managers, leaders, event planners, and friendly faces people would encounter. it would be nothing if it weren't for the many that believe in TM. it's such a wonderful community!

ok, i am done blabbing. i was just gushing with joy all night. it was fabulous and i will be forever and ever grateful!

here are some pics:

this is sheryl who works for carolina parent magazine (our partner). because of their publication, we were really able to get our name out there. they have been so generous to me and wonderful to work with. i love CP!
