August 12th. I was sure that was the day I was to be fitted for my crown. My whole family had arranged their day around my appointment when I looked on my fridge and realized no, August 12th was important for another reason. Tethered was coming out. My appointment is not until the 14th. Today was your day for the crown! :) Congratulations on your big day! I can't wait to read the book that everyone is talking about.<BR/>TaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37180398.post-2858945446865331962008-08-12T22:27:00.000-04:002008-08-12T22:27:00.000-04:00Wow Amy!!
