I wish I could have called you on this day. I really really missed our back room or car discussions to catch up on a year's worth of happenings in our lives. I definitely know you would have had Bree following you everywhere cuz she kept saying Morgan, where Morgan??? I just had to keep telling her you had to work and we would see you another time. We really need to catch up soon. Email me with your cell number, I have the one you texted to me last year; not sure if is same.... Love you girl
