Does Everybody Know What Time It Is?

If you said (or shouted) "Tool Time!" kudos for the 90s Home Improvement reference, however, you would be wrong. Today is officially the 7 month mark until the BIG day. EEK! and YAY! *confetti cannon*

As has become a bit of a tradition (really... does two consecutive months in a row make a tradition???) it's time for a quick recap of all the amazing progress made in the last 31 days, annnnd a look ahead.  Are you ready for this? I went nuts last month!
