P.S. Those roses are beautiful.

Happy, happy birthday, Heather! Wishing you a magical day. 🎉

Oh, man. Personally, I don't think I have the bandwidth right now to put together applications for DAR/Mayflower Society memberships (any memberships, really). So, kudos to you for doing so. I'd love to know how it goes!

*HEART ATTACK*

THIS IS GIVING ME ANXIETY, KATHERINE. LOL.
