OK. This is my 400th post! I am excited. Looking back... it's crazy to see it all... cool... I need to get it in a book. My friend from high school, Sunny, is turning 34 soon and listed 34 things about herself on her blog. She "tagged" her fellow 34 year old friends to do the same. So here they are... extra little insights into the madness of myself!

ReplyDeleteHey Dawn remember me? This is Dawn Carroll well, Webb now. I have read you blog for several months now. I am still living in Alabama married to a preacher. We have four children Micah 9, Madison 7, Matthew 4, and Mark who will be 3 in December. We homeschool our children. I actually thought about you homeschooling Abby when I read you post about the school struggles. I started to write you then but I know that there are so many people who are so against homeschooling and I did not want to offend you by mentioning it if it was something you were not for. I'm so glad to see that you are considering it. I would be glad to offer any assistance I can on the subject. BTW your daughter is beautiful! I love all or your jewelry that you make it is so pretty. You also are and amazing writer. I love how the words just flow in your post.
ReplyDeleteLove ya!
