Love your 100th post!!! I can't wait to do mine. ~;-) I had such a great time with you on Friday...I can't wait for all of us to get together again. Maybe we can all meet at Chick-fil-a or something??
Melissa are you sure we weren't seperated at birth??? We have so much in common!!! No wonder Jill thinks you are so great!
Love all your posts and thoughts. Keep them coming.
Loving it!
Melissa,
I love to read your blogs. I also love the pictures you put on there. I was reading your 100 things blog, toodling down through the list, and was completely blown away when I read number 58. I had no idea. But I want you to know that is the best compliment I have ever had.
