Well the first episode of Dexter had me on the edge of my seat. Every time he opened up his laptop I was waiting to see your face haha. Anyway- how's life? We drove pretty far down south a few days ago. ALMOST drove as far as LA. Someday we'll just show up un-announced... and chances are you wont be there...and we'll cry. ;) LOL
