He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby.

1.) Any time Julie posts about hiding stuff at Abby's house. Cracks me up.
2.)I loved Abby's recap of the year. I really touched me because I am in a similar situation. Just not as far a long.

Looking forward to many more blog years.

I loved the Sisters Q & A. That was so much fun, and it really gives me hope for my 2 girls.
I love Julie's honesty and transparency in her posts. She always manages to crack me up!
I love Abby's fun personality, I want to be her IRL friend too.
I love how I can really feel the Sister's love for each other and other family members, and how it makes me wish God had given me a sister.
I love reading about the relationship the Sisters share, and I'm looking forward to reading for many more years! I heart you guys! :) Well done!!
I love reading about Julie’s kids.
Love YA
