Julie-
Every time I read What You Know First, I bawl my head off. You read that at Rachel's luncheon before she got married. When we move (which is pretty often these days) I read that to the kids to try to teach them that we take a little bit of every place we live with us each time we move. I can't read that book without crying like a baby. My kids thing I'm nuts!
Thanks for introducing it to me.
