Today was a special day!! I stopped by the Abacoa POA to talk about next months article (which is awesome by the way) and they gave me a copy of the paper with my article in it. The name of my column is Eating Healthy In Abacoa! I'm not going to lie, I had the biggest smile on my face when I showed Huck! I know it is a small paper, but it is really exciting to see my recipe in the paper!! 

Next months article will reference my blog. I was hesitant/embarrassed to post information about my blog with my article. Now I wish I did! Oh well!
