Okay, no picture this time. Some of my friends have done this so I thought I might give it a try and see how many I could come up with.
1. I am so glad I started blogging.
2. I am way more blessed than I deserve.
3. I have the greatest group of friends you could ask for.
4. Every girl needs a sister.
5. I am excited about what God has been teaching me in the Old Testament.
6. I guess I never paid attention in Sunday School all those years!
7. I wish I could talk to my mom again.
8. The only way I've gotten through the past 5 months is because of my Savior!
9. I love rocking Graham to sleep at night.
10. I love to hear Garrett say, "I want Nanny to come to my house" because I know that means he remembers her.
11. I have great in-laws (even though Papaw did hit the fence at our driveway in our "new" minivan - I still love you, Papaw)!!!!
12. I love Pinelake.
13. I hate that I live 1 1/2 hours away from my dad.
14. The hardest thing is telling my dad goodbye when I leave or hang up the phone.
15. I am so thankful for my best friend in the whole wide world, Jeremy.
16. The greatest gift ever is being a mom.
17. I love lying down with Garrett at night and hearing him say, "Hold me, Mommy."
18. We have the greatest small group at Pinelake.
19. Now, I feel the need to hold my dad's hand in church during the prayer like I did when I was a little girl.
20. I am crying right now.
21. I want 4 kids.
22. Jeremy wants like 15 kids.
23. I am only birthing 4 kids.
24. Jeremy is NOT in school - he is a resident, he does have a job and gets paid.
25. I am ready for Jeremy to have a REAL job.
26. We love to travel.
27. My favorite vacation was in 2002 when we spent 2 weeks driving out West living out of our Xterra and sleeping in a tent and eating out of a cooler.
28. My other favorite vacation was in 2001 when we backpacked in Europe for 21 days. We visited 6 countries for like $2,500! That included our plane tickets!!!
29. Our dream vacation would be to go to New Zealand.
30. I married my 1st grade boyfriend.
31. We didn't talk again until 4th grade because I got my haircut and Jeremy said I looked a boy.
32. I was (and still am) a tomboy.
33. I was in 2 beauty pageants in high school.
34. The first pageant I was in I fell down the stairs, the second pageant I was in just to redeem myself.
35. I love to hear Garrett say, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I didn't mean to."
36. Garrett calls Graham either "Baby" or "Dam".
37. Graham finally got his two front teeth in.
38. The longer I am a mom the more I realize what I learned from her.
39. I have to go feed my (3) boys their lunch.

I loved that!
That was great! I was crying too while I was reading it. You are one of the best mommies I know.
so sweet.
Great thoughts! You're so sweet.
This is Amanda Henry writing you back. That was so sweet and I'm still crying. Your mama was a great mother and I'm certain you are, too.
Sha,
This is Rachelle (Crenshaw)Black. Now living outside of Nashville. I loved that and want you and Boo to both know how sorry I was to hear about your mom. I remember her being my first grade teacher...matter of fact, I still have the first picture I ever colored in her class, with her beautiful and neat handwriting across the top that said "Try to stay inside the lines. Good Job!".
I even pulled it out of a box when I heard she had passed away, I was hunting my 1st grade class picture to show my husband who she was. I will continue to pray for you and your family. I know this is very hard for all of you.
Rachelle
I'm crying right now too. I know you are a fabulous mom cause you were taught by a fabulous woman. She taught me so much while I was in her class and then when I tutored for her for a couple of years. I love all of ya'll.
thank you for sharing your heart and thoughts. tearing up, laughing and smiling at you... you are very special!
