I hope this letter finds you well,

 Went to the exotic pet expo with my friend Kaitlynn today.

Maybe this message will reach her by the transitive property of Walmart...or maybe the internet.

While visiting family today, Noah got his first hair cut!

I completely forgot to take my picture at the Young Professionals dinner tonight, so instead you get my icing-splotched shoe, enjoy!

Yep! Hurry hard! Yep, yep!

Amanda:

 

Beautiful but treacherous, just like we Michiganders like it.

My father brought one of his beautiful guitars from Michigan, so I guess I am learning to play guitar now.

To all the little Hulksters,

Amanda:

What Smokey should look like, vs what he does look like: I think he needs a stiff drink.

Leslie:

Tristin's legs got too bad for me to take care of here, so he went back to Michigan with my parents today (his old shoes were left behind).

Valerie:

 

Not a great night, but I suppose not terrible in the end.

Ladies and gentlemen, my ridiculous work uniform.

This is our office number carved into the booth at the back of the bar.

 As Brandon so eloquently put it: "D'awww!"

Leslie:

Super Fancy Dress Up Valentines Day Party was a huge success!

Valerie:

 

Creating a plan for our Wedding Album for $50, chocolate, and Olympic Opening Ceremonies = a good, much needed, day off.
