I can’t believe that it’s been FIVE YEARS since I first published The Prologue (Or, When Frannie Met Charlie) in all of its awful, poorly written glory. I’ve come such a long way since those days, but I’m thankful for those first few, formative months writing this blog. I’m thankful for the friends I’ve made along the way, and the ones I’ve yet to meet. Most of all, I’m thankful to everyone who comes to read this blog when a new chapter drops, or who responds when I just need to be candid with y’all. You’ll never know how much I appreciate all of you!

Happy birthday to all my girls and their families:

The Farmer family – Fran, Charlie and Destiny

The Atwood family – Destiny, Arthur, Bree-Ann, Isabella “Bella”, and Bianca “Bee”

The St John family – Bella, Rogelio, Charlotte and Christopher

The Jones family – Charlotte, Travis, Darcey, Danae, and Devin

The Murphy & Scroggins families – Danae, Andy, Elyse, Eamon, Emmitt II, Theodore, and Tessa Murphy; Darcey, Clint, Noel, and Shan Scroggins

I hope there are MANY more birthdays, and more generations to keep you busy!
