HOLY crap


So I'm a major bum and it wasn't until I was reading my adorable friend Dip's blog about having to update her 101 things that I said "um, shit, I haven't checked in on there in FOREVER".

Honestly, I don't know if anyone even reads this thing anyways, but on the slight chance you do and don't already know, I have good reason to punk out.....

Um....

His name is Luke.

Now, to go through and update my list. :-D
