Good job sis! I linked you on my page. I used to pretend I didn't like blogging too, because I was afraid I'd look dumb...but now that practically everyone I know does it, I don't feel dumb any more!

Love you!

Great list, Adrienne! Who is this lucky guy from elem school who will go swinging at the school with you?! Come see us sometime. Since we are serving in the Harrison Branch, we don't see people from Fairfield often enough. You're probably going to the Univ Branch, though.

I have kids who want haircuts if you want to brave that for not enough $$... Maybe you should go to school to become a hairdresser. My sis did that and loves it.
