Consider this a cry for help to all of my bloggy buddies out there....My husband Paul and I are coordinating the couple's retreat for our church. There are about forty people signed up to attend so far. Some very dear friends of ours moved away last year.

Looking through the hair books and magazines … [Read more...]
