Love this Emily! Love you too!
Emily, all of us are thankful for YOUR 32 years too!!! Love your post. PS. Can you suggest some good murder mystery books?
My mom got me into muder mystery book by Joanne Fluke. I don't know if you have heard of them but it is a series and the titles are all food, like chocolate chip cookie murder. The main character runs a bakery called the Cookie Jar. I think they are enjoyable
