Hey Emily, you don't know me, but I am friends with Ansley and Kristin. I'm reading your blog too because I am so interested in your life there and what you guys are doing. You are in my prayers daily, and I am constantly inspired by what you all do. Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us!
