Yes, you DO need a medal hanger, it's only going to get fuller as the year progresses :).<br /><br />btw, my friend's boyfriend WON the whole race (Moses something) - pretty cool!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174883718651790845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284298186061040784.post-60844360372702617012012-01-16T12:16:12.195-08:002012-01-16T12:16:12.195-08:00Wow, Caroline, you look AMAZING in those pictures....Wow, Caroline, you look AMAZING in those pictures.
