wow that itso stuff is cool and I LOVE what you did with the brick hearth. by the way, I am so sorry that I couldn't make it to your shower. this summer has been so crazy with summer school, travel, work, and life. I know that the next time david and I are in g'boro for a stretch of time, I'll call or email you and maybe we can meet. PERHAPS I'LL GET TO MEET ISABELLE!! it is so glorious to be able to type things like that and know that there's no more doubt. God is so good. I miss you and am SO GLAD you're the type of person who does cool blogs like this. I've got it bookmarked and check it often. you and isabelle are NEVER far from my thoughts and prayers. love to you both...
