Loved it! My hubby's the same way.

One year we went off to France, this one we're all going to be in North Carolina! Can't wait to see them, it's been too long!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658507579160418855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596586419077019479.post-39456810675534378962013-12-18T16:34:42.275-08:002013-12-18T16:34:42.275-08:00I want to know what her mother said! :PI want to know what her mother said! :PTrishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927558937796802496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596586419077019479.post-14984702051571003752013-12-18T11:44:02.522-08:002013-12-18T11:44:02.522-08:00Hey Sally I love this.
