I’m still cleaning out my suitcases from my trip.  I got a whole bunch of soaps, shampoos, conditioners etc…so I put some of my loot in my guest bathroom. I also went shopping for some groceries and picked up some croutons and ranch dressing.  Iced tea is chilling in the fridge.  And my pantry is full of fresh hot tea bags.  I’m as ready as I can be, Purity.

I know it can be hard to be positive when you are a teenage gal!  But, be a positive rebel about it!  Refuse to give into negative vibes.  Stay away from them the best you can. Remember…

I’m going to go take a bath and then start working on your birthday story.  I am very aware that I still need to send you both one.  I think you’ll like it.  We’re going somewhere we’ve never been before!  So keep an eye out for the story.  It will be launched on July 23rd 2016.  The title is Independence (Birth)Day!  Woo hoo!!!! You don’t think we’re going to miss celebrating your big day on the website, do you?? I’ve been collecting red, white and blue party stuff for months!
