I wanted something different than the constantly repeated top 10 names when they were born and when I was growing up. With girls, I didn't want them to have to measure up to what all the other Jennifers and Susies were doing. Funny, though, my husband and I only talked about very classic, biblical & strong names for boys (didn't have to use any). And I'm Tia, so I can't say much!Tia Bachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18336780518125138789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9732203.post-13739909449274422202011-05-28T07:50:25.558-05:002011-05-28T07:50:25.558-05:00Don: I love your chapel story; as a fellow Catholi...Don: I love your chapel story; as a fellow Catholic, I don't think it's disrespectful at all to write when you're there, if you're writing something related to your church work.

I think I won't like them, and then, I do. They bring back memories, and the action is always exciting.
