    I just posted my 11 today. Wow, you got a lot of questions! It took me nearly 3 days just to answer 1 set :P I enjoyed your post and getting to know more about you ;) We are thinking of moving to Raleigh too. Depends on the hubs' job prospects and if he goes to post-graduate school. It would be funny though if we both ended up there! I love that family pic. It's such a great shot.
