What are your eight?
Wow! I didn't realize how you birthed your children. I would LOVE to hear more about those!!!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you go to college?
Have fun on your cruise! Where's it headed?
Hey we have some things in common. I had three of our four children at home and our first at a birthing center too. Lovely experience isn't it.
ReplyDelete4th Gen. Christ follower - that is just amazing! No wonder you have the foundation you do - and your kids - 5th generation! God is truly Good!
ReplyDeletePiano and vocal major? Now, that's impressive.
