The day is finally here! We’re flying to Michigan for my second cousin Kyle’s high school graduation. I dropped Khaki off at Missi & Jami’s last night, and Brian & Jeff are picking us up in a few hours to get us to the airport. Our flight leaves at 1:45, and we return Sunday evening.

I’m just sure I’m going to forget something though….
