Time is moving too quickly
I can't believe it was April the last time I posted. /o\ We've been so busy and traveling so much that on Wednesday my SO forgot what month it was. It was only, you know, three and a half weeks into September, no big deal. That's almost like it's still August, right? Ahahahaha.
