--I am in love with this swimsuit collection...especially the brown ones with pink polka dots. If only I were rich! Hehe. House-buying is so financially draining. :P

--Speaking of which, we signed our contract and we are now plowing through the headache of finding a company that will insure a forty-year-old house in the hurricane state (never mind ( Read more... )

Scott and I are undergoing some huge, huge changes in the next few months. I come from a family where we almost never moved, only changed churches once, and where my dad has had the same job since before he was married. So all of this seems really big to me. I thought I should probably give y'all a little update on our situation...( Read more... )
