It was nice to finally see your 100 list but most of this I already knew. We miss you too and can't wait to see you in a few weeks. Brooklyn said today that she wanted to walk to Tessa's house and she was happy when I told her she was coming soon.

I love it - I too knew most things, but I didnt know you and John got married on the day you met - thats cool. The baking thing made me laugh - I cant make bread turn out either. I really do think you will make a wonderful teacher and you should definately go back to school. Even though you miss Summerland very much, I am sure glad you're up here with me
