Maaaan…. right back into the busy swing of things, I am.?? Yikes.?? But in a good way – the trip down to Salem was awesome.?? I am so jealous of my parents’ new house!?? Well, except that they *do* have to live in Salem, so I guess that kind of explains it.?? But still, an… Continue reading quadruple-booked and it???s only monday!
