Too bad you didn't turn 50, I could have kept reading more! Love it, love it, can't pick my favorite! Okay... #1.
If your house and neighbors both made your list, why are you moving??? :) I love my label maker too, everyone makes fun of me for it, now I know that I'm not alone!
We are just following God's leading with the moving. It's so hard for people to understand but we really feel like it's what we are suppose to do right now...all a part of the plans that we feel God is laying out for our family. We will always love our neighborhood and will miss everyone here if we end up moving.
I know why you are moving and I totally understand... I was just kidding. (Haven't you noticed that I have been harassing you about it for a while now! I just have to stick with my "don't leave us" thing!) Hope you had a good dinner!
Ashley, I know you are just kidding but in case anyone else is wondering, I thought I would put an explanation up. We will really miss your family if we end up moving.
Great post, Tanya!!! That is a fabulous list! Like Tanya, I could have kept on reading! So if you ever want to make another list just for fun go right ahead, you know you will at least have 2 readers waiting!!!
