June 4th 2009 - Jen C: fanny packs are coming back!!
I love all of your photos!!! I'm so happy we got to talk yesterday, Em! I told LaSandra you said hi and she flipped out! It also brought up that I am leaving - that was hard :(
I'm really glad you brought a fanny pack - now I can make fun of you! I really think they are going to come back in style! I love mine! TAGES! I miss you!! I hope Em told you how we're letting our futures paint themselves...glorious, just glorious.
Hope you women are having fun - I'm so glad there are tons of photos and commentary. Keep it strong!!! I'm really serious - you have to let me know 1.5 months before you go to Slovenia. We have been planning on going there for a really long time, so PLEASE let me know!!! Maybe we will meet you there...or, at least I will.
