Well, I have been putting this post off for a week and a half now, so I thought I would finally get it over with. I guess I haven't posted it because I just don't know what to say or how to say it. A week ago last Saturday, one of my blogspot friends was in a fiery plane accident with her husband. Both are severely burned with as much as 80% of Stephanie's body burned. Her husband Mr. Nielson (Christian) is not burned as badly but is in critical condition. They have both been chemically "sleeping" since the accident. I know it sounds ridiculous because I've never really officially "met" these people, but I have been reading both her blog and her sister's blog http://www.cjanerun.blogspot.com/ for sometime now. These people have a way with words and also have very bright spirits, and they let them shine through in how they live and write.

Heartfelt Thoughts
Some of my favorites of Nie Nie are:
She has a beautiful life and a beautiful way of sharing it with others.
Stephanie and her family have a tradition of letting balloons go on special occassions. These balloons have messages in them. Last Saturday people all over the world released balloons with special get well wishes for Stephanie, Christian and their family. We released them over the Snake River. It was actually a very moving experience to think of all of the prayers and wishes for these people.
The blogworld has declared tomorrow to be Nie Nie Day. There will be silent auctions going on all over blogdom. I will be putting some things up for auction on the Extraordinary Housewives blog and hopefully will be able to make some money to donate to the recovery fund.
