Yes I remember you from the jax meet, I also remember you saying you were going to send me friend request. Still waiting =P

Hey Kelly sorry I have been working crazy hours still trust me I want to hang out asap!

Also Kelly did have this done a little bit ago, I forgot about that. It looks really good!
