Dear Mom
Well, what about my suggestion?
Day before yesterday we moved what excitement and turmoil. Mostly bad because
we'd been looking forward so long to moving so it was anticlimactic. But we're finally here,
and worrying about furnishing and how much we ought to be spending.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Love,
Linus
