    Just Drives Hubby Crazy?

    Greg really hates it when I am upset about something and he asks me what is wrong, and I say "nothing" (cuz it is obvious something is wrong). Especially if he asks several times and I still won't tell him or talk about "it". God Bless!! ~Dawn~ Shining brightly for Jesus

    How many kids?

    We wanted 6 children. We have 3 children. My husband decided that he didn't want any more children after our first two. Then he changed his mind, and we had our son. After that, he did not want to have any more. Now we are grandparents. ;) God Bless!! Dawn Shining brightly for Jesus
