I am so honored and so excited to be leaving this afternoon for the Close to my Heart Advisory Board Retreat in Utah. I have the privilege of spending the week with the most incredible, inspiring team including Close to my Heart’s Vice Presidents: Monica Wihongi, Kristine Widtfeldt, and Brian Holman and this year’s other Advisory Board Members: Karen Morris, Kristina Livingstone, Brandy Lees, and Jillene Moen!

I just found this website where you can download very cool blog backgrounds for free. I thought I would try it. Of course now my header doesn’t match at all, but I can always redesign that…when I have a little extra time that is. I think I will try this out for a few days…
