So many amazing celebrations this week Holly - your anniversary, your mom's birthday, a trip to Vegas, ziplining with your mom and daughter, and the amazing number of authors you met! I loved the photos your sent - your mom looks SO young and SO beautiful! (you and your daughter do too!) I look forward to reading Kate's speech - thank you for including the text. I'm very excited about Quest - and will certainly pre-order a copy! Thanks for all the celebrations!

I can't tell you how many times my husband has gone along for the ride. He just came with us to nerd camp to watch my daughter and my colleague's daughter so we could go to nerd camp and then the little girls went to nerd camp jr.
