Yay! It's been like Karns education day for me. I'm so glad to read another of the "eight things tag." It's so fun learning about everyone.
p.s. I'm glad you enjoy work, and I really think things will pick up again soon and maybe even be crazy again (oh my), so please stick with us because you do a great job and I LOVE having your help. (:
That was cool Melisa. I feel like I just got to know you a whole lot better! Thanks for sharing! You are awesome!
Love you Mom and thank you.
FINALLY that took you forever. By the way you still need to do the other one. Or was this like a blanket cover.
Thanks for sharing. I'm sorry the realization that your children will move out and on came through your door so soon. Take heart that even though it is a painful part of parenthood, they will always be your little ones in larger bodies. AND they bring back a bonus - Grandchildren. ENJOY every moment!
I loved your post Melisa. You are great! I am excited to come visit this week, I will call you about the details. I want a final count on how many times you have read the Twilight series. I just obtained a copy of Twilight (thanks laura) and plan on reading it a third time (if you count listening to it as a book on tape). The other 2 books I have read three times. I am so excited for August 1st at midnight-I will be a crazy waiting in line. I just started reading Host. I have had a hard time getting into it but now I am hooked. That is the end of my longwinded comments, this is why when I talk on the phone I talk for hours!
Love Ya!! See ya soon!
You are very insightfull. I'm glad to have you as a friend.
Love you Lisa & I really liked your tag.
