That is an impressively busy summer! Sounds like a ton of fun! We should try and get together sometime now that it isn't so crazy busy...

Can't believe you were so close and I didn't get to see you!!! I was SO sad that I couldn't make it down for Kaylee's wedding. She looked beautiful! So happy for her.
