Meg - Hi Melissa! I've been following your blog now for about a year and I just wanted to let you know that you have been such an inspiration to me. Thank you! You have helped me learn to really love photography and challenge myself. I'm sorry to hear about your aunt. My aunt took her life last year on July 5th and I understand how you feel.

Christina - What a cute top. I should go shopping with you because you find the cutest clothes. I wish I would lose weight in the summer. I feel like a lump on a log because it's too hot to go outside.

Jillian - Love that outfit Melissa! Super cute. That's cool that Shannon is a designer for align! I agree with her that Dr. Pepper makes the world taste better, haha! Sorry to hear about your aunt though. That is so sad!
