    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.

July was an amazing month for the most part. Kenny July was an amazing month for the most part. Kenny and I celebrated being married 18 years in the mountains, and the kids had a lot of Summer fun. Unfortunately we did lose Kenny’s step dad, the kids Grampy, Billy. I’m so glad I decided to do project 365 again this year. I really do love looking back on all the photos, even if most are taken with my phone. Just want to take more photos of the kids with family members.
