Wow, What a reception!! We just came home to a huge bunch of people (100+) lining our street with banners and signs and balloons welcoming Erin home. That was so amazing!! A true picture of Heaven on Earth!! Thank you all so much for the fantastic homecoming reception. We cried buckets. You all are too much!! We were truly blessed by your love. I don't even think I can describe that feeling. The funny thing is, our road is being paved today and there are all these huge trucks lining the street too. The foreman had them all line up and honk as we came down the street. It was magic!
This morning Erin had a tearful parting from all the nurses that have taken such good care of her these past weeks. It has been a very emotional day. But now we are home and she is napping in front of the T.V. It's so great to have her home!! Our dogs are home too and it is wonderful.
Bless you all for keeping Erin in your prayers. We have experienced a miracle of God's mercy and we are so humbled by it. What an amazing God we serve. Halleluia! hugs, janet

You have your miracle Janet, your girl is home! "our God is an awesome God", and I am so thankful He is healing Erin!
Ron had to work late last night otherwise we would have driven up, just to cheer you on with all the other people who love you. Keep up the fight Erin, and we'll see you as soon as you are able to get visitors. Love ya bunches Aunt Deb & Uncle Ron
What a beautiful picture.....we are out of town but were there in spirit. So happy you are home.
Love,

YAHOO! Praise God for delivering you. Do you feel like you are in the promised land? Welcome Home Erin and family! May you all rest well this evening. I am sorry we missed the big parade. Allen and Laura and babies were in town and we had them for what seemed like micro-seconds.
Erin, my prayer is that you will rest well, eat well, and grow stronger every day. What does your list look like now? Might be time to think about tackling it by doing a few fun things-what do you say? We love you and pray with a sigh of thanksgiving and relief to the God who delivered you from the pit. You will continue to be in our prayers. We love you all.
Everyone is so glad you are finally home. I walked out to take Trixie for a walk to see a wonderful site of you followed by the huge crowd welcoming you home. I snapped a couple pics of everyone on my camera phone. You can have Amanda retrieve them from facebook if you would like a copy.
Again WELCOME HOME!!!
Dixie & Brad
What a wonderful reception to have!!!! Y'all deserve it. It is a blessing for everyone for Erin to go home. I'm sure it was for the nurses, too, because they don't always have such a happy event.
Love you all, Eunice
welcome home we love yall!!!
Remember, bald is beautiful
god is lord and...
stay strong beacause we love you!!!
I have seen a beautiful miracle today and I am blessed. I have never seen a more beautiful bride or glowing woman than today when I saw precious Erin standing in her driveway. I keep thinking of the Proverbs woman...
She is clothed with strenght and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. (Proverbs 31:25) ...Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. (Proverbs 31:30).
And Cori is right - bald is beautiful! Stay strong and look forward to seeing you walking the neighborhood. God Bless you all. In His love, Tracy Bishop
Dear Erin, We rejoice with you!! Even though we will miss you terribly, we are so happy that you got to go home! We will continue to follow your blog and lift you up to the Lord in prayer everyday!! Hope to see you at the clinic soon!
Charmaine and family
isn't it fun being blessed to be a blessing?!!!!
Jesus commanded us to 'love one another' ... and today, we were 'loving one another', through the smiles, tears, hugs, shouts, pictures, and dump-truck horns!!!!
Our Might God served up another Good One today...for He IS LOVE and we had lots of it to GIVE TODAY...
To God be the Glory \o/
Praying wonderful naps, increased appetite, and daily increased strength :)

praying peace,
Sometimes, God is SO good that you have to stop and enjoy the tears trickling down your cheeks and the chill going up your spine! The Blonshine family was surely in God's sweet spot today as we all witnessed another event that only God could orchestrate! What fun!! An awesome banner, posters, drums, pom-poms, pizza, ice-cold water, a shade tree, REALLY LOUD dump truck horns (so cool!), and some of the most humble and gracious hearts reaching out to love a most deserving family! I thank God that my family could be a part of that moment! We'll keep the prayers flowing for you, Erin, as you work to stay healthy and gain strength. We have no doubt that you will see good health again soon, because our God is so awesome, powerful, and faithful!
Welcome home! I wish I could have been there on your street, but that doesn't diminish our joy and praise to God for your return home today!!
Erin I am so happy to hear you are home again! I really really wish I could have been there to see you today :). I'm sure it was a beautiful homecoming! You are truly loved! Hope to talk to you soon. Love, Denise
Erin
I hope you are enjoying every minute of watching your bulldogs from your very own comfy couch. I believe all of us today were more excited to see you come home than you were--maybe not, but we sure LOVED every minute that we were able to share with you & your precious family. I am still crying happy tears every time I replay in my mind the picture of you turning the corner today and those horns blowing. Our God sure knows how to celebrate after a l-o-n-g, dark valley time. Don't you just love it? I still can't get over Him sending the dump trucks--He is so cool!
Enjoy the sweet smells of home and rest in His glory.
We love you sweet girl!

So glad you are home. I'm so excited to read about the grand homecoming you received today - how awesome!!! Praying for you.
