One Week Until Dear Carolina!

I don’t know how on earth this is possible. ONE week until Dear Carolina comes out! Eeeek! I actually had written on my calendar today “two weeks until Dear Carolina,” so for a minute this morning, I was thinking that it was two weeks! But it is, in fact, one. And it feels like it, judging from the butterflies in my tummy!

While I was running through the “to-do” list in my head this morning, little Will climbed in bed with me and said, “Mommy, I want you to have another baby.”

It put things in perspective. My book baby has kept me up some nights but far, far fewer than an actual baby! 

I thought I’d share this quote with you today. It’s one of my very favorites from the book. It’s funny because when I say I love it, it doesn’t sound braggy in my head because, in some weird way, it feels like I didn’t even write it! Jodi is so real to me that it’s like she just wrote this line, as she would say, her own self. But that is a good feeling, right? Knowing you’re loved like that? One worth holding onto for sure. Dear Carolina has two great love stories, one in that brand-new stage and one in the middle. But, I’d say, they both have their perks!
