Hey! Your trip to NYC looked so fun! And you even got to see a real life CSI!? Did you call Grissom??? Ummm remember the surprise that I told Travis about on the phone? Let's just say that I wish I'd sent you your surprise earlier. It would have come in handy. It's on its way though.

Grand Canyon baby!! We could even combine bike ride and camping into it. We would probably loose those 20 pounds too. We're such multi-taskers. ORRRRR just go on another DC and you could get prego. HP Rules! Just finished listening to Jim read #7. Amazing! BFF suck, as do mean people. Luv, SDW
