Have I mentioned that the mosquitoes in Minnesota are outrageous? I've only experienced mosquitoes like this once before when Justin and I were waiting for the pizza-delivery-man outside our hotel in Cancun. Our hotel was located right on the beach. On the other side of the hotel was a lagoon. I wasn't outside for more than five minutes before I received over 20 mosquito bites. They seem to love my blood, but for the most part leave Justin alone.
It's quite warm in Minnesota and without a/c it's tempting to leave the windows open. However, if you open your window, you run to risk of letting in the swarms of blood thirsty mosquitoes. When we laid Jason down last night, Justin told me he closed all the windows in our room. It was hot and stuffy and I woke up several times during the night itching the mosquito bites covering my body (literally from the top of my head, to the bottom of my feet... seriously the bottom of my feet!) This morning as I got out of bed I noticed a few squashed mosquitoes laying in tiny pools of blood on my sheets... and an open window. I smacked a mosquito resting on the wall beside me... leaving behind a trail of blood on the wall. There a trails of blood all over the house... so much carnage. In addition to the mosquitoes the flies are also getting in on the action and their bite is much more painful.

Your reunion sounds great other than those awful mosquitoes! That must really put a damper on things.
