3. Every time I get to hang out with you it is an adventure!! Whether we are battling the nail techs at some hole in the wall . . . or spending too much of our husbands money. I know it will be something new and fun!!

4. You are constantly cracking me up!! I love love love your Christmas letters, reading your blog posts, and your e-mails!! Thank you so much for all the great laughs!!
