But it doesn't deter me whenever those small quiet moments in between happen! Great post. :)<br /><br /><a href="http://elizabethmueller.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">♥.•*¨Elizabeth¨*•.♥</a><br>Elizabeth Muellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06028099814857743134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190412120537448720.post-74687808993304419262014-08-08T04:11:36.134+02:002014-08-08T04:11:36.134+02:00Thank you.
