Well, that’s my list. It has been a very fulfilling summer and one I’ll never forget. I’ve missed Chris, Ryan and Carter but it was awesome getting Jon and Luke back. And Skylar! I seriously don’t know what I would have done without you this past year. Just… Thanks. nuff said. ☺ Hope everyone has a great fall/rest of the year! Jeff and Jake, you guys are going to be amazing missionaries and I’ll miss you a ton when you are gone. Let’s live it up till then! COLE! I’m stoked to watch you play football this year! Yay for Luke finding a job, I hope you really enjoy it. Jon, I promise that I will come down to visit you at school. It should be easier now that I have a license! Skylar, even though I probably wont have calc this semester, you’re not off the hook for helping me with Spanish!
Love you all!
