Soaring

I was in Provo on Saturday and attended the ballon launch for Nie Nie. I felt a bit awkward because I was all by myself - I tried talking Kelly and Wyatt into going with me, but they were not interested. But I had to go - I read their blogs everyday and they were so close. I saw CJane immediately as I drove up to the park. She was walking over from Retro House with Chup, the Chief, and Nie's daughters - it was like a celebrity sighting. Nie Nie's daughters looked beautiful and so happy to be playing with their cousins. I bought my ballon and tied my wishes on to the string. My thoughts have been on Nie Nie and her family constantly since her accident. While Nie Nie and Mr. Nielson are still in critical condition I think the accident has brought out the best in so many. It is amazing to read CJane's inspirational posts each day. There are so many reaching out to help. We are all soaring just like the balloons released on Saturday. I hope Nie Nie can feel the love!

I'm celebrating Nie Nie day at Design Mom's recommendation over at one of the blogs I read for fashion tips, A Room Somewhere. I picked some vintage items the are very "Nie" so go see what I've donated and check all the online auctions to help the Nielson family. You have also got to check out the auction for at the Jolly Porter he is so funny and is making some good money for his sister!
