well, a lot sure has happened this past month and i'm feeling a little overwhelmed.
the biggest news of the month was that our family sent the bestest best kid in the wholest of worlds off on a mission (ahem. on my birthday of all days. talk about buzz kill). I sure do miss Elder Harris, but he is such an amazing missionary and the letters we are getting from him it sounds like he is the #1 missionary out there! (psh. duh).

Hilarity ensued when all the girls in the family wore denim jackets to his farewell.
