99 days

when asked how excited she was about the big day (the big day is a dorky way to refer to the wedding. big days could ALSO be graduations, first period, first time watching the wire, birthdays, first time you catch yourself before tipping ALL the way back in a chair, first time you get to say "that's what she said!" etc),
ROSE responded with "this excited!"

we are also this excited:

SPEAKING OF THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL...
ROSE started 3rd grade and so we walked:

(i believe here she was telling me about that time way back in second grade, "you know, when i was little" where she was nervous about the first day of class, but "now that i'm older" it probably won't be so bad)
this was also the first time ROSE had a mom AND a dad to walk her to school.
OMG we are just so cute!
