Ha ha! The ending was funny! What a great review of the year! It has been such a full year! It has been a challenging year with the different medical issues, including being lactose intolerant. I hope this next year is healthier and pain-free! You guys have been through A LOT in your 1 1/2 years of marriage! Wow! I would like you to send me an email copy of this letter so I can put it in my journal. I think this would be a nice letter to send out to the family on email. I have addresses or maybe you have all the addresses you want or need. It is definitely worth sharing so the family can know you guys better. Looking forward to seeing you both tomorrow and then going on our Vegas trip! That will be a lot of fun! Be sure to bring your scarves and very warm clothes as Vegas is going to have record cold, and maybe even snow! I know Taylor will keep you warm and snuggled! Have a good night! Love you! Mom
