We Have a Bundle of Joyous News!

                         This news is huge. 

                                                 We will never be the same. 

Our entire lives are about to change. 

        We’re a bit overwhelmed with the news. 

               And it almost blindsided us. 

But we are so excited. 

 

We came on the World Race not expecting it to happen like this. 

Or this quickly. 

 

 

When we found out, we cried tears of joy. We’re going to be different people because of this. We’re excited and overjoyed, and cannot wait!! 

 

We’re here and it’s good. It’s really good. We hope you can be excited with us.
