Our family is so much happier with you around.  Even though this summer comes with a whole load of stress, we are lucky we all get to be together, making memories that can only happen at this stage of life.

My life has already become easier.  This week, I was able to:

- go on a midday run with a friend
- take a family trip to Ikea
- play Bunco for a great cause
- greet my brother at the airport
- plan out some meals and grocery shop ALONE
- stay up late with you without worrying about early, rushing mornings

This summer is going to be good. I love you more than the 'As Is' section at Ikea.
