Dear Josh,

As you probably heard, and the rumors are true, Lauren, Kyle and I visited Krista and Alissa last weekend.  I missed them very much so it was def refreshing to visit. Madison seems urban compared to Eau Claire. EC Is TINY. Today is Lauren and Kyle's two year anniversary! Lauren got him cookies, Kyle is getting her $70 worth of jewelry. Sometimes I get jealous because Lauren walks like 30 feet and BOOM she sees Kyle, while all I can do is Skype Gian everyday. But it really wrenches my heart when I remember you and Krista.  The way one phone call meant the world to her. We miss you so much but I know you will succeed like no other AND I have tremendous  fail in you relationship with you and Krista. And if you're wondering Gian isn't working enough because of the stupid schedulers but without me he is getting a lot done and not drinking much. he's doing fine. He says that JUST knowing he is loved by me is all he needs. What a crazy guy but he's kinda right in a way. You have all of us friends and even the love of your life- we are here.
