I thought it was about time for a non-baby post, and in an effort to distract myself from the fact that my maternity leave is rapidly coming to a close, here are some Things. 7 people I’d like to meet: via >Emily Henderson – the HGTV host, whose style I love and who seems totally cool. >Christy Nockels – an amazing singer and worship leader, and someone I’ve always admired. >Kristin Chenoweth – the singer and actress who I’ve had a girl-crush on ever since I saw her on Broadway. >Derek Webb & Sandra McCracken – a husband and wife, both musicians I love, and even though I’ve technically met Derek I’m convinced that my husband and I could be…
