Parents' Raise

We spent 13 hours in the car this past weekend! Matthew and I will spend many an hour playing our "Guess that Station" Pandora game this summer with all of our road trips planned (no we aren't boring old people by the way, we are actually like fun elementary school aged children!)

When asked how excited my mom and Scotch were to have finally helped their 5 children get through college, Scotch joyously responded, "We got a raise today! It feels great!"
