I enjoyed reading and learning things about your life!
First one in--you should win a prize. It's lookin' great. I'm so busy with wedding things that mines not as far along as yours. Thanks for motivating me! Did you rent "Camelot". I'm determined to get it for the weekend.
I didn't get out to rent it today. I'm going in the morning.
I'm really in the mood for it now.
