Was told on Monday that I got a promotion. Raise goes into effect next week :) I’ve been busting my ass, so it’s welcome news.

We’d just drop in from time to time to catch up on the story. Good times.

That being said, I hope they were all alive during the taking of this photo. Fingers crossed.

Thank you! I’m now subscribed to all :)
