My 15 minutes of fame
Jan 12, 2008
My hubby came home from Iraq last week after being gone for 15 months!! YEAAHH!!!
I emailed my story about losing almost 150 lbs while he was deployed to the reporter of the local paper and she did a wonderful story about me and then the reunion. We made the front page of the paper 2 days in a row!!!
It has spread like wildfire since then. The AP (Associated Press) has picked it up and from what I heard it has ran in papers as far as New York!! It was in several Texas papers and it was in the Army Times this week. So many people have contacted me and the newspaper to hear more about my story or just because they were inspired.
I hope my story has givien inspiration to many.
Here are the links to the 2 stories in the Killeen Daily Herald.
