Happy Birthday Sweets

the best birthday present ever!!!! a "Larry SOLD another one!" sign on our front lawn. That means we'll be home for Christmas, for good. I know what everyone's thinking, "a festivous miracle!" and it's true. you can all bear your testimonies next fast sunday on the reality of miracles happening every day.
