I just happened across your blog. I think I saw it on McMama's blog. I loved your 9 goals for 2009! Do you mind if I totally borrow (ok copy) those from you? You picked the perfect verses.

If you don't mind us asking, how did you find out your "girl" number. I didn't think that they would give us that number, just our overall number. We're kind of curious what our "actual" number is. Congrats on the 50!
