Instead of commenting on every single new post--I will just say that I'm a little concerned about not making your "friends I don't want to live without" collage. It hurts. "After all that I do--after all I have done...it is never enough" What movie?

In other news--love all the new updates. Do we ever get to see a pic of the whole house from the outside?

Ever After.

Rae, maybe if you came to see my house in person, you would be on my BEST friends list. And the fact that you took that classic pic of Val and I says something doesn't it?

If you don't want to come visit, let me tell you that there is a picture of the outside of the house. It was posted the day we moved in. How did you miss it??? It may be a measly picture from the realtor's website, but it's there.

Fine, I will be nice enough to link it. just click HERE and stop your whining.

Ah, that's right, I remember now. I want big pictures though. Easy on me having to use my granny glasses to see any details...

I would LOVE to see your house in person. Really. The next time I am even REMOTELY close--I am making a pit stop. Is there room for 3 in your master bed?

Ok, I must have missed the original post but what is that green stuff in biggest mess? It looks like a nightmare come true...

Janessa said...

Love the awards. How fun. Am I invited to come play with you guys in Vegas. I am so sick of the snow!

I have been a bad blogger and a bad friend. I am going to call you tomorrow but I wanted to at least post a comment so you'd know I was here and to tell you that I loved reading your 2009 Shumway awards.

Love you, Janet.
