Do you know what today is? Today is the day my beloved sister enters her third decade of life! So please join me in wishing the lovely Keri Elizabeth a happy 20th birthday :)
Once upon a time, there was a girl who was afraid of the dark. Then she grew up, went away to college, got married, and...well, silly as it seems, never really got over her fear of the dark. One day, the girl's husband decided to take a job in Alaska and for the first time she lived on her own! It was fun and games and pizza for a while, until she heard The Noise. The girl had just set her alarm for the morning and was about to fall asleep when she heard The Noise. It was a sound of metal clanking against metal, and it was most definitely coming from inside the apartment.

I can't wait to see what it looks like all blocked out. For a while now I've wanted to make a sweater ...
I AM IN THE AIRPORT IN ORDER TO VISIT WIL! And he is so lucky I am willing to wake up at 4 in the morning to fly 13 hours to Alaska. Hopefully I'll be able to post some pictures in the next few days!
