So I happened to watch a preview for American Girl, Makenna something-something, and the young sprite said, “No one can achieve greatness without the help of others.”
And big, fat, Southern tears tried to crawl their way out of my once-dry eyes.
And I thought about you guys, and Matt, and my babies, and my parents, and my wonderful friends. I thought about all the great things I’ve gotten to do. Then I thought about how that wouldn’t matter if I hadn’t gotten to be with some amazing people along the way.
I realize now, while I’m thrilled at the doing, life is all the better for the knowing. I’m thankful I know you guys…you literally helped make me a better version of me.
You showed me what it was like to actually go for it–that I could be on TV, and write scary things, and I could scoot over for passion to take the wheel.
Thank you for being you, and for being part of my life.
Oh, and we decided to go with floor-to-ceiling board and batten in little one’s room with the stripey floors.
🙂 The board and batten looks great!
So glad I clicked on “write scary things.” Is there a chapter five on here?
HUGE hugs girl! I haven’t commented in ages – with homeschool starting here and projects on the go time is T-I-G-H-T! – but I’ve been reading and thinking of you! Always appreciate your honesty and your heart.
xo,

We’re thinking abt doing this on one wall in our master bedroom. Could you tell me abt the size of boards that you used? Did you do the same for the baseboards and also use as crown molding? Those look pretty thick. Did you just paint the wall with same paint? Sorry so many questions, but we may begin this process this weekend YIKES!
You are one of my favorite bloggers. While some blogs I read like a magazine article, I read yours like a letter from a friend. You are so personable and I feel like we have met in real life 🙂 I hope you keep up blogging because the bloggy world would be a worse place without you and your southern charm.
I totally agree with the post above you are so much more than just a blogger partly because you know that you wouldn’t be all that you can be without the people in your life! Rock on girl, Southern style! And that’s coming from a girl who’s about as northern as you can get in the United States!
Love the board and batten walls…….I was wondering what’s the name of the color you used??? I love your Blog!!
