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

Welcome to the blogging world! (okay I'm a little late, I know) It was fun to go back and read all your posts! How come I never knew you LOVE cats? I think I just assumed that everybody HATED cats! Just kidding. DB is pretty, that's for sure. Love the jeepin' pictures (you make me want to go to mineral basin again)! And it looks like your boys are rearing to go for the season! Keep us updated on all of it, would you? Since we can't be there for the games..!
