a letter to the petkus' and joldersmas.

emily, tony, xavier, dawn, and chad.

thank you, from the deepest bits of my heart, for including me in your family over the past nine days. and, really, over the past few years.

emily and dawn, you make me wish i grew up with a sister.

chad, thank you for being my life coach.

tony, thanks for keeping everyone on schedule.

xavier, thank you for being a playmate and a constant source of cute.

i couldn't have had a better time in florida.

my gratitude is infinite.

love,
sarah.

do not leave bags unattended at the airport.

em and i snuck away for an afternoon at the salon. for one of us, it was much needed.

chad (the surf guru) got crafty and had all of his nephews and niece leave their hand/foot prints on a surf board so he can use it to teach them to surf. i love that idea.

x-man joins the board.

dawn and chad's friends stopped by to announce their engagement. celebration ensues.


life is good with good friends.
