Dear Reader, One of my most defining attributes in journal writing is the presence of very many updates for the [usually] months I haven't written. Thankfully this time it's just been weeks, and this will also be infinitely easier with photos. So enjoy what is assuredly the first of my many "update" posts😉 So actually this was taken like the night before I started this blog, right after the moment the idea came to me! This is Cooper and Casey in the front on our way to Institute jammin' to Dirty Little Secret. The next day mom and I went up to Elizabeth City to help grandma and grandpa clean out their attack in preparation for moving. One of the rivers we cross over to get to Elizabeth City. Mom's wedding dress. I was trying it on to see if there was any possibility of my wanting to keep any part of it for my someday wedding. I think I might just want to keep the sleeves😉 Emma girl's 7th birthday on June 2! I missed her partie...
