Hi Friends! I can’t believe it’s almost the end of May already can you? I’ve spent the past month, celebrating birthdays and new homes with friends, going to a roller dance party, seeing all of the action blockbusters at the movies, and attending a music festival in the fine city of Boston.

Here are some of the articles I’ve read in between.
