Justin,

With all the holidays and trying to finish up the semester, I haven’t had a chance to send my congrats on your engagement. Here’s wishing you both all the best. I think of you often when I’m talking to out of district students contemplating whether or not they should attend Arapahoe. You continue to be a credit to our school. Happy Holidays.

Congrats Lauren and Justin!!! Your pictures are gorgeous!!! I can’t wait to see round 2!! xoxo
