  2. Hi Sue! These are so sweet. and simple. and attainable. I have seen several of these lists and I always scan through them thinking, "aaaand number 102: turn into Superwoman!". Your list, more than anyone elses, makes me want to maaaaybe make one for myself. Maybe :)

    and OHMYGOODNESS you're getting married in 22 days! That is wonderfully exciting! I hope that everything is going really well with preparations! I will be looking forward to seeing pics for sure!

    Anyway, I just wanted to stop by and say 'Hi" and get to know you a little bit and say thanks for following my blog :) Don't be a stranger!
