		<description>Bethany does have an amazing eye for &quot;little fun things&quot; to put in a care package.  My favorite was the box of 44 crayons in James&#039; birthday box.  I don&#039;t even remember where we were living at the time (I suppose I could figure it out) but I remember those crayons.  I&#039;m sure I have them somewhere...</description>

		<description>Wow, 2 shout-outs in just as many posts. What a treat! It&#039;s true, it took living together for Steph and I to be friends. It&#039;s a funny story, but I&#039;m SO thankful it happened. I&#039;m extremely thankful for our friendship Steph and am deeply touched by your comments. Any plans on coming to/through/near MN any time soon? I&#039;d love to come visit your new home...maybe sometime this summer?</description>

		<description>Yay! I was laughing out loud as I read your post! I&#039;m so tickled that we will be teaching VBS together this summer - it will make the week more fun for me/ us for sure! I know we will make a great team!
It was nice to hear about the people on your post - to understand a bit how you are connected. 
Now I have bookmarked your blog, so I will be able to check it more regularly!!
TGIF!

PS Don&#039;t forget to place your name on the VBS sign up board before someone beats you to it!</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t worry Jim!  I never have to worry about that :)  I am blessed with the most loyal wife ever.  She is awesome.  If you read today&#039;s blog, the only thing I ever worry about is the fact that sometimes I cannot get her away from a good book :)  Ha ha!</description>

		<description>I wish I was young enough to worry Travis. Not that I would worry him, because you have too strong a relationship to barge into - just that most of the time I feel like it would be nice to be younger.

I value our relationship because we can throw those ideas back and forth and it is good for both of us. Thanks, Stephanie.</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s see, since we got married, Troy and I have lived in six different houses, two hotels for a month or more, and I lived with my parents for eight months once between moves when he was deployed. So...I win? 

I had forgotten those care-package days! I used to love sending those so much. I am so glad you enjoyed them. :-)

I can hardly believe we&#039;ve only seen each other ONCE in 15 years. I hope you do make it out to San Diego one day soon!</description>

		<description>Hey Steph, I am here, too (thanks to your FB announcement)!
I am Jessica -I too lived with Stephanie in college - one year as roommates, 4 years as friends there : ) I am a pastor&#039;s wife in the Bronx and a stay at home mom to 2 with a 3rd on the way through adoption. I have found that stay at home mom doesn&#039;t mean inactive becuase everyone thinks I have more time to do things around church since I don&#039;t work outside the home. Most of my time is spent volunteering with the LWML and our teen girl&#039;s group.</description>
