I figured I would put this in here to give you a break from studying and hopefully put a smile on your face! I want you to know that I am very thankful that Janelle introduced me to you in spring semester last year. If it wasn’t for her I would have never met the amazing person you are and I would be short one of my best friends. Well that is all I have right now.
Until next time,
Connor :)
P.S. get back to work now
