Julie: While Matt and I love you dearly, you are not allowed to share my birth date. Please pick another one. Thank you.

I forgot about that! Now I have to go see which things YOU chose!

Julie: We just got your latest package of wonderful goodies. So, I decided you can still share my birth date. :-)

Little by little, I'm going to send you my entire house...
