  2. Awesome list. Thanks for putting the time into writing it and posting it here to be a blessing to others...like me.

    You sound like an awesome young woman, one I'd love to get to know someday. Let me know when you are in the market for a handsome and Godly young man, as I've got one available...someday. Just kidding.

    Kind of. ;-)
