I've said this before, but when I was ready to give up, he told me something along the lines of, "With your drive, you can't NOT get published someday." (This meant a lot to me since he's a very logical guy!). It's definitely something to be thankful for, since I know some spouses don't think of writing as a "job." I'm just hoping this job pays off someday!

For sure. This has a lot of humor potential. Good job! There's a strong, strong word right in the middle of this sentence that I really love. Do you see it? Take a look and try to find it before I tell you. It's that adjective just after "hundred" and just before "bachelors". See how that massively amps up the story?<br /><br />I'm still amazed he chose it!! And I can't wait to meet you and hear that great southern accent!<br /><br />Donna - I couldn't agree more. Along with my hubby, I have a whole community of people who believe in me. Just today a friend told me she'll be the first in line to buy my book! :)<br /><br />Melissa - you're so blessed to have such amazing people in your life. I love this: "If I could swirl the four of them up into one person, that's the person I'd want to be. :)" That makes me smile.Gabrielle Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12479898337766911768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534168611594105953.post-12594177412098367162012-08-08T11:35:51.723-05:002012-08-08T11:35:51.723-05:00That's so sweet!!

They have supported my writing dream since I was a kid--buying me blank notebooks, reading my ridiculous prairie stories about orphans (hehe!) and never once questioning whether it would really happen. They're amazing. If I could swirl the four of them up into one person, that's the person I'd want to be. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17620457068731162013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534168611594105953.post-8325213788515027462012-08-08T11:31:20.969-05:002012-08-08T11:31:20.969-05:00What an amazing testimony of champions who give wi...What an amazing testimony of champions who give wings to our dreams! Your husband's encouragement and belief in your dream is amazing. For me, my mom, sisters and best friends keep my dreams soaring - they are my biggest cheerleaders and encouragers.

Someday I'll write our love story, for now I guard and protect my journals from those early years with my life! :)<br /><br />Michelle - I love hearing about other high school sweethearts who are going strong after so many years! I'm so glad we met when we did - in so many ways we've grown up together. Congrats on 19 years of marriage!<br /><br />Becky - how awesome that your husband is also your champion! I do know what you mean! :)<br /><br />Sherrinda - I can tell how much your hubby means to you in the words you've written about him. And yes, I think I'll have a blast at ACFW!<br /><br />Heidi - I can totally relate. I stay home full time and we have a landscaping company, so we don't have a whole lot of extra cash, either, so I think that's why it means even more to me that he's willing to sacrifice in other areas so that I can follow my dream. I hope we cane meet, too!<br /><br />Julie - I don't know what I would do without his support! We make a good team, as I'm sure you and your husband do!<br /><br />Wendy - that's funny! Sometimes I think my husband shouldn't believe in me like he does until I finish the FIRST novel! I'm still plugging away at re-writing it, but in his mind, it's already published! :)<br /><br />Loree - we are blessed! That's the beautiful thing about support - it's there during the good times and the bad. Love it!

We'll have to think of a special way to thank our hubbies. I believe one of the greatest things about marriage is helping the other person realize their dreams. My husband started his own business and I've been behind him all the way. I've even told him that if he ever wants to do something else, I'd support his decision. God sure knew what He was doing when He created marriage! :)Gabrielle Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12479898337766911768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534168611594105953.post-31024863146407877352012-08-08T00:04:20.814-05:002012-08-08T00:04:20.814-05:00Aw, Gabe, that is so incredibly sweet!!

We hadn't planned to spend the money, but he saw how important it was to me and told me I could go. I said, "Thank you for believing in my dream." He said, "You believed in mine."
