We’ve grown up in quite an exciting era, don't you think? With all of the advancements in technology, once you turn to the left, the latest and greatest iPhone appears.

So, with that being said, y’all did teach me the important things. I would have never learned how to walk, talk, make friends, or stand up for myself if y’all weren’t there to guide me. Regardless, I love y’all both, and by the way, thank you for increasing my data per month since, for some crazy reason, I just happened to go over a teeny bit.
