I'm not asking for much, am I?
6 kind words:
Love your list! Aren't Longaberger Baskets made in Mentor or near Mentor?
Or is Mentor near Cleveland? I attended a Steris training class there. Stayed at a nice golf resort.
I pray that you get the island trip one day in the very near future.
My Jordan did marry a wonderful man and I pray the same for your Jordan. Don't you just love that name?
I would like the hot air balloon ride. I would also like to skydive at least once!
The weight loss is my own gong struggle!
Praying that God would bless you and your husband with the island vacation for two!
I heart your list!
Except for camping with the fam which we do quite often, I am right there with you. 'Specially that South Pacific Island deal. ;) Not gonna happen anytime soon as we are on our way back to China :)
I can almost feel the sea breeze blowing across my face. ;)
I have one of those children too, that i'm praying has at least one just like him:) As you say.....it will be fun to watch them parent a child like themself:) Don't get me wrong....I LOVE this child, It's just that he's the one that was the 'pot stirrer' (is that a word?) if things were going along nicely....he'd stir the pot. He was just was never "easy" And we just seemed to clash most days:( I say that to my shame! Loved your list.....and dream of those island getaways.
That is a funny, heartwarming, sad, joyful list all rolled into one. What a neat post.
Aw. What a list! It conjures up a lot of different emotions. Very moving post!
