I CAN'T be the only reader, surely!
You are worth the wait - I love to read what you write.
A few comments:
Your family is stinkin' gorgeous - all 4 of you.
CONGRATS to Deedee! So happy for her, and she was a beautiful bride. (And you a good-lookin' maid of honor!)
I want to be friends with people with the last name Isch. It reminds of "-ish". I don't know why that strikes me as so funny. Like they're a nice-ish couple. They're just "sort-of" everything. Does anyone else get this?
It's fun to see Melissa - even in a photo on a blog.
I love that I made your list.
And my favorite thing of all is your e-mail from your mom. I will smile all day!
Love you. Hope the pink polish lasts a few more days.
By the way, that was me, Teri, your only reader, in case you didn't figure it out. I forgot I was logged in on a different account and didn't want you to think you had a particularly familiar stalker. Of course, now I made you think you have 2 comments already and I'm sorry for that, too. What else can I apologize for while I have your attention?
(Honestly, though, I can't be your only reader!)
Teri! Your comments ALWAYS make me smile! :) The pink polish is standing strong, but I am getting the black nail polish ready for my race in 2 weeks.. and when I look down and see the black polish I will remember when we ran 7 miles in March and will imagine you cheering me on the extra 6.1 miles across that finish line. Much love Teri!
Back at ya!
(Shall I light a candle during your race and keep you in prayer? Oh! And do you have a support team with a back-up iPod in case yours dies this race?)
Really?? Number 4? So I can understand coming in behind the promises of God thing-- but behind RCF and brownies? Ok, maybe I can understand the brownies thing, because lets be honest, it is in the chocolate family, but I'm still struggling with the coming in behind RCF. Really, I think that I could move up or is it down? a spot or two. I don't think it's too late to change your blog right?-- but hey, it's your decision.
Hahaha Cussface~
Maybe I should have mentioned that this list is in NO particular order. That's an important piece of information to mention, otherwise I'd never hear the end of it from my family =) You're always no. 1 in my heart, right behind brownies, of course.
